- the scent of cardboard causes an instant escape mechanism response: turn, scream, run
- half the boxes in the basement are still packed from the last move
- you know the difference between packing tape and storage tape
- you own a tape gun
- you're the only one who can make your dishes fit in the original box they came in
- you still have the box they came in
- you don't hire movers because you know you can do the job better
- you've learned to pack in small boxes
- you've decided your next vehicle will be a pickup because it will make your next move easier
- most the things you own are travel size
- you know you can wait till the last minute to start packing and it will still get done...somehow
