How You Know You're Addicted To Pokémon Go, As Told By The Office

Here are 10 ways to know that you are in way too deep with Pokémon Go, as told by The Office.

1. Your friends ask you to come hang out, but you say you’re sick so you can go catch Pokémon instead.

Turns out, you're not very good at coming up with plausible excuses.


2. You spend excessive amounts of actual money on Pokéballs.

Yes, spending real life money on imaginary items is totally sane, mom.


3. You get unnecessarily angry when a Pokémon runs away.

Nah, Abra, really, it's fine. I'll just waste all of my pokeballs on you just so you can run away.


4. You end a friendship because the other person is on Team Mystic.

Yeah, I said it.


5. You stay out at public parks, catching Pokémon, until ungodly hours of the morning even though you have to be up early.


It’s 4 am?! It was 5 pm like two minutes ago.


6. As a passenger in a vehicle, you yell at the driver to slow down so you can get Pokéballs from a Pokéstop.

FYI, you can't drive 15 MPH on the highway.


7. You have 70 pidgeys.


So. Many. Pidgeys.

8. You get upset when your lure attracts more people than it does Pokémon.

It's only okay when I mooch off of lures. Geez.


9. You’ve been stopped by the police for being out late at night catching Pokémon.

"I'm actually not smoking weed, believe it or not, officer."


10. Since Pokémon Go came out, you’ve barely payed attention to anything else.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
