--You start speaking in GW lingo, like LFG, WTB, WTS, [just saying the letters just like that o_o]

--You ask someone new to your school if they need any crafting materials to get new clothes so they can survive.

--You get confused by a roadmap because it doesn't have little green, red, or blue dots showing you who is friendly, who is an enemy and such, and there is no arrow to point out where you need to go to get where you're going.

[LOL ok these might be lame but I find them funny...]
