16. If you find that friends or relatives are reluctant to buy LEGO for
you, you convince them that "what you really want" are storage containers
and drawers like everybody else keeps screws/nails/electrical parts in.
Only you know that you are tricking them into buying you LEGO sorting supplies.
17. Everybody else reads the newspaper, while you browse LUGNET news on the
internet.
18. Offer to help friends move their stuff out of their parents house, and
ask only to receive their old LEGO as payment.
