New disorders (everyone get your own!)

Do you suffer from an addiction? Are you pre-disposed?
I recently came across a website (might have been a blog, I don't remember) that listed new addictions. I also heard a radio story on it. Here's the list -


Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD)
Youtube Addiction Disorder (YAD)
Google Search Addiction Disorder (GSAD)
Widget Addiction Disorder (WAD)
Twitter Addiction Disorder (TAD)
Blackberry Addiction Disorder (BAD)
Mac Addiction Disorder (MAD)

I don't know about you, but we have identified some addictions from observations made in our home. Here they are,

DVR Addiction Overload Disorder (DAOD) - Recording 10 hours of TV in one day that you plan to fit into 1 hour at night. Something inherently wrong there, hmmm....

Potato Chip Withdrawl - Okay this isn't a disorder, but it is still going on around here...

Wii Addiction disorder (WiiAD) - 'nuff said. See my earlier Wii addiction post.

Bargain Addiciton Disorder - This is when you buy stuff because it is a "good deal" without any real use for it.... It doesn't really happen around here, just sayin...

How about you? What disorders are you currently facing in your home?

  124. I'll take your FAD and one up you, MWAD (Mafia Wars Addiction Disorder). I've also been developing some FVAD (Farmville Addiction Disorder). I never play video games, except on Facebook and they aren't even particularly fun games!

    ReplyDelete
  125. Definitely got a little FAD going on. There is a sub-category of FAD for looking at people's pictures. Oh, and what about randomly looking for funny or odd videos on You Tube?

    ReplyDelete
  126. My husband suffers from Blackberry Addiction Disorder - most definitely. He now has TWO, and either one or both are constantly giving off one alert or another. So far I have managed to stay away from Facebook, though I'm pretty sure it'll be a huge problem for me if I ever do sign up. Which is why I haven't.

    Stopping by from SITS, a little late!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I definitely suffer from blog addiction disorder. And, I never was much for texting or my cell phone, but over the last few weeks,as my life has been in upheaval, I have my phone on me ALL the time. There's always someone checking in. So there you have it, BLAD (blog) and BAD (blackberry). I like your WiiAD. I think my son has that for sure!
