Thread: You know that you've got a neander problem, when...

  1. #1

    You know that you've got a neander problem, when...

    I just realized a few months ago that I've gotten off the deep end as a neander.
    To commemorate this, I'd like to start a joke(?) thread when you know that you've got a neander problem.

    I'll start...

    You know that you've got a neander problem, when you think of LV as Lee Valley--not Luis Vuitton (I've gotten in trouble a few times because of that).

    Let me guess: Your significant other asked for an LV handbag and you gave her one of these?

    OK, how's this: You know you've got a neander problem if you're reading this.

    You know you've got a neander problem, when someone says "planer knives" and you say "You mean irons, right?"

    You know you've got a neander problem, when you find yourself telling people,"Shut up, Roy's coming on!".

    You know you have a neander problem when your wife says "that's some good wood you've got there" and you say "I was saving it for something really nice".

    Man, that's a good one, though not a likely confusion for me. I was stunned when my girlfriend told me what that stuff costs. I've paid less for some cars I've owned. Man, talk about luxury goods, huh?

    But how about this.... You know you've got a Neander problem, when Lee Valley offers free shipping and you can't find anything you (still) need.

    You know you've got a neander problem when neighbors stop knocking on your door because it was too loud.

    You know you've got a neander problem when you just skip and ignore all topics on sanding.

    Or maybe you've got a bliss?

    In Russian, Planer and Thicknesser is the same as jointer plane and marking gauge, makes many problems

    Btw, that LV handbag is pretty expensive too... might be not a problem if presented right

    You definitely have a neander problem when you log on to your computer in the morning hoping there is a new sharpening thread.

    You know you should be going to NA meetings when you start arguing pins or tails first with people who are not woodworkers.

    You know you have a neander problem when someone wants to borrow a saw and it takes a half hour of questions to determine which saw they need.

    You know you have a neander problem when your significant other complains that the kitchen knives are too sharp.

    You know you've got a Neander problem when anyone mentions planes and your first thought is never aviation.

    Problem???
    That's when you "tote" something, it had better be a plane.

    Or when they ask 'How's the remodel going' when you've just been chopping mortises.

    I don't have a Neander problem; I'm doing fine.

    Denial. It's always the first sign.

    You know you have a neander problem when you purposely layout your tails so they aren't perfect.

    This reminds me of the scene in Parks and Rec, where Ron Swanson destroys a chair because it's too perfect, looked machine made.
