...someone says "I'm on hold," and you assume they're DQed, not waiting on the phone.

...someone says they were referred somewhere else, and you immediately wonder how much they got for it.

... you begin using "green" as a verb.

Anyone else got any?

I think this is a classic one - but I'll repeat it here for the sake of completeness.

" ... when you start thinking of prices in terms of referrals."

Meh. None of those really apply to me except for using green as a verb, which I do when I'm reffering to free sites with a couple friends who are finally convinced this is for real.

[quote80e23a51db]-You use a program to tell you about any changes in your account (like a new green).

-When you see that medical commercial on TV and the guy says "you don't need any referrals", you laugh.

-You know who the publishers are and when they pay the site owners.

-You post most often in the Trading forums.

-You post most often in the I Have No Life thread (oh wait...)

-Your main source of income is freebie sites. And you are doing quite well.

-You have your homepage set to anything that has to do with freebies.

-You refer to freebie sites and their members in general, as the Freebie Scene.

-You are part of said Freebie Scene.

-You don't refer people you know to any of your sites because you don't want them getting in on the goods. So territorial laugh.gif

-You've dreamt about it.

-You've seriously considered the possibility of doing freebie car site if a legit one was to ever exist. "What if...?"

-You've relied on Paypal before to pay a bill.

-You give gifts to people for their birthdays/christmas that you received from a freebie site. Or better yet, you don't, because "The refs will cost too much!"

-Your username is Gatita.[/quote80e23a51db]

... when i go to an electronics store and see people spend $300 on an ipod and wonder at what point in their life they became as stupid as they are

... when my source of income is stuff from freebie sites

... when i buy a pair of $150 nike shox like i did today and immediately think that could have got me finished on flashipods4free

... when the only things in my bookmark toolbar are freebie sites and forums

EDIT about that post above, i actually did dream that i woke up and saw my living room full of dhl boxes with ipod nanos inside.

Ive been considering leaving the freebie game as soon as i finish freedesktoppc myself..... freebies were never my main source of income and shouldnt be anyone elses... as soon as the advertisers figure out that nothing in the world is gonna get them new customers to pay 90$ for shite pills the game is over....

....when you check your PM inbox every other minute to see if you have a trade offer
....check your site account every other minute to see if your referal has gone green yet

^^Guilty, well maybe not every other minute.

it is only my source of income because i have classes spread out throughout the day and had to quit my other job because of it. i sure do miss that paycheck though even though i quit 4 weeks ago.

I was gonna quit after i finsihed free360xbox. But then dvdrecorders4free was so easy. After i get my HDTV from evenmore4free, i will hopefully be done. Maybe if a site has xbox360 games and stuff i would do that.
