You Know You're A Mac When...

Rate Guide Rating_5_0 (3)

Would you believe that I wasn't always a Mac-obsessed chick? When I first got my Macbook, I unboxed it, ran my fingers over the keys, smelled it (don't ask) and then put it back in the box so I could continue what I was doing (before so rudely interrupted by the UPS man!) It took me a while to get used to the wonderful world of Apple. Now I could never imagine going back to a PC. This guide is twofold: 1) You might be an Apple Geek and not know it. 2) I'm making it my goal to turn every PC user into a Mac user, so here are some goodies!

You proposed with an iPhone

No seriously. You have to watch this. Future Mr. Jenn, take note!

Use Your Ride

Widget_bkvk9wv4bcsldr6ycjgaog

You go Apple sticker crazy. Not only do you geek-out your ride, you slap an Apple sticker on windows, your grandma, the toaster, etc.

Widget_awfbjpuhzhs6nm6xbiyplh

While slapping those stickers on the windows, your subtlety flew right out of it. Make sure that anyone stuck behind you in traffic knows that you’re a computer snob.

You have created and framed your own iPod silhouette with iPop My Photo

Apple's Corporate Headquarters

You know the latitude and longitude of Cupertino, California. (37°19’3"N 122°2’31"W)

1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, CA 95014

A very geeky Christmas

Widget_azmbndoz1bhiqmorkiqebw

You treat any Apple product release as Christmas and Steve Jobs as a jeans-wearing version of Saint Nick. Unboxing my iPhone was like Christmas number two for me!

iJustine has an Apple logo tattoo

This whole guide came about because I wanted an excuse to post this video of my iGirlCrush.

You have Apple-themed USB flash drives

USB iPod Memory Stick=

Apple Bling

You have three fart, two flashlight, and three Twitter apps on your iPhone.

Widget_dqcaonhthgnynxbjkus4ez

I highly recommend Tweetie ($2.99), TwitterFon (Free) or Twitterific (Free).

The Woz does the Cha Cha

You watched Dancing With The stars just because Woz was a contestant.

You bought someone the iPhone thong

Widget_a87bzo4lpan4wk2wc2egqc

Please don’t ever buy me this. I love my iPhone, but I don’t need a wedgie.

You own an Apple fish tank

Widget_c49eblqqdp14oajdb2nade

I heard fish are prone to catching viruses in PC tanks.

Old Town Aquarium

1538 N Wells St. Chicago, IL 60610

John G. Shedd Aquarium

1200 S Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60605

Bring me back a dolphin.

Bring me back a dolphin.

 

This is your happy place

Or maybe this is your happy place. (I highly recommend clicking that link – it’s a must-see collection of 74 Macs in one man’s home.)

You get them hooked while they're still too young to argue with you

Widget_btu0xoqwzlmabipxagnbjj

iPop My Baby offers iPhone/iPod themed onesies for the little geek.

Your mailbox looks like this

Who needs Ikea furniture?

You have milk crates for furniture, yet you manage to scrape up enough money to pay AT&T’s obscenely high fees for the privilege of owning an iPhone. (Photo by: SOCIALisBETTER)

Unique Thrift Store

3000 S. Halsted St. Chicago, 60608

The Unique Thrift Store already has reasonable prices, but because they have to move merchandise quickly, every Monday and Thursday are sale days – items are marked down even lower!

Savvy Seconds and 1sts

2707 W. Lawrence, Chicago, IL

You recycle your old Macs

The geek's version of a tramp stamp

Widget_dvx6zyrybkormpoonp9vml

When your barber asks you what style you’d like, you hold up one of your Apple stickers. If you’re that hardcore, you invite your barber out to the Apple store while you wait in line.

Little Joe's Barber Shop

4386 S Archer Ave, Chicago, IL

316 Club Barber Spa

175 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL

You turned your G3 into a beer server

Widget_c4tqlmqh9pzjg7hrn7zmyf

How geeks serve beer-. It tastes better coming from an Apple product.

You take a day off from work during Macworld Expo to listen to the keynote

Widget_dccyj1jlziso47alaphkji

You know this guy

Widget_bnevxj2ctlpbq_9oueycrb

You want to know these guys.
