You know you've watched too many sub movies when..

1) You stand aside poles and exclaim "Up Periscope"
2) You actually expect the pole to move after this
3) Canteen food is consumed as it would be aboard a U-Boat - mushed up and eaten at speed
4) The fire alarm startles you, and you run to the end of the nearest corridor when it sounds, as the weight of the building must be shifted in order to dive
5) You address your friends as officers aboard your boat, such as Chief and 1WO
6) You compute firing solutions when watching ships from the beach
7) Thunder = Depth Charges
8) You sit in the corner, once across the room with the binoculars, then again with the naked eye
9) You report sightings of people whilst doing this and attempt to identify them
10) You pull up alongside ice cream trucks and state that under Prize Rules, this vessel will be sunk after offloading of 50 choc ices
11) You stand onboard a ferry and watch for torpedo trails
12) You stand onboard a ferry and demand to know where the sonar suite is. Kretschmer could be watching
13) You salute passenger ship crewmembers and bore them with rhetoric about that 'fat slob' Goering and the absence of patrol planes
14) Grey skies and drizzle is 'proper submarine weather'
15) When watching shipping in port, you say "UZO auf brucke" and prepare to attack
16) You know exactly which Kriegsmarine grid you are in right now, and which grid square your destination is whilst travelling
17) You give engine orders to your car
18) You yell "Alarm" when the phone rings
19) Exam halls are merely rooms that are rigged for silent running
20) Your car stereo has a fully stocked music library. "Greatest hits from 1941"

Made these up, I bet a few have been mentioned before though
