...your house is 2000 sq/ft but, the fish building is 8000+ sq/ft.
...the municipal water department sends a truck to investigate a leak after you fill your tanks (happened to me).
...the water department sends another truck after you do a waterchange because it's sure that there really is a leak (also happened).
...you have at least one tank with a blue splash zone to warn visitors they may get soaked.
...you're having Hamburger Helper and realize you just fed your fish large market shrimp, catfish fillets, fresh mussels, etc.
...your digital photo frame has 6 pics of your family but, 750 pics of your fish.

...strangers hear about your tanks and leave abandoned fish on your doorstep (happens to me fairly often).

-when you finally switch your utilities to the "Level Payment Plan".
-when you reluctantly buy a new vacuum cleaner belt ($3 for 2), but look forward to buying a replacement impeller for your canister filter ($49).
-when you install $300 worth of filtration on your tank containing $40 worth of fish.
-when you know the combined flow rate of every filter/pump in your fish room...but, you can't recall what size water heater you have in the basement.
