you know you're a conspiracy theorist when...

An opportunity for us to poke some fun at ourselves. Proper formatting is "You know you're a conspiracy theorist when..." or "If XYZ, you might be a conspiracy theorist." Bonus points for real-life examples.

"You know you're a conspiracy theorist when you've been successfully putting on pounds to prepare for the apocalypse, but to your dismay you realize that your bullet proof vest no longer fits."

...you start wondering who's telling people not respond to this thread.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. -- Lawrence of Arabia

You don't respond to a conspiracy joke thread because the very notion somehow pisses you off too much to see it as an opportunity to make a joke.

You know you're a conspiracy theorist when being singled out for a random search at the airport is a validating experience for you. (guilty)

You know you're a conspiracy theorist when you've become accustomed being followed in public by men in black with telephoto lens cameras. (happened to me when Hillary Clinton was in town)

You know you're a conspiracy theorist when you trust your psilocybin-induced visions more than the nightly news.

When you're making a lot of noise on the Boycott BP Facebook page, then Facebook suddenly eliminates the page, and the next day your internet starts acting REALLY REALLY weird .......
