When you decide that all the food you're going to eat is Ramen since it's only 0.29 cents per packet at the supermarket and decide to save up money for a backup pair of cans.

Does upgrading out of the blue from a pair of Razer Megalodons to HD650 with E9/E7 to HD800 with BCL/v-dac II in less than three weeks as an unemployed student count?

when you start to feel physical pain seeing people using generic $3 buds that can barely fit their ears and leak noise as mad.

When you can't stand the fact that your friend uses $5 ear buds and you gave him your old IEM's you don't use anymore that cost 15 times as much.
Despite the fact that he doesn't even really listen to music. (he uses it to play rythm games)

I'm probably on a slow road to CIEMs.

I've always hated that. Especially if it's on the train. One of the reasons why I decided to buy my ATH-M50s is so I don't have to listen to the mainstream crud on some people's mp3s.

I'm not truly an audiophile, but when I told my dad about the $140 around-ear Ultrasones I'm buying tomorrow he suggested I try out his Sony MDR-AS20J (a 2.5 star rated pair of barely ok sounding active-style ear buds). I laughed a little too much.

"D-dad..."
You paused to him, feeling your heartbeat pumping like a drum.
 
"Yes, son?"
He asked in his usual, almost methodical tone. His evening post lowered to his side to view your being.
 
"Um..." You watched the edges of his face wrinkle as your nervous deposition started to worry him "I'm..."
Your words choked in your throat as you tried to confess. The wrinkles flattened as your father looked you over.
 
"You couldn't be..."
He motioned as he started to fray on the of astonishment. His eyes opened wide and he watched you in wait for a explanation.
 
Just get it out already.
You told yourself. The air started to grow stifling as you waited. Your father even further grew closer.
 
"I'm..." You tried to speak once more, but fought the feeling welling in your stomach. A outburst is all that you could manage:
 
"I'm an Audiophile!"

Strangely enough that's exactly how it happened!
 
Nicely done, I laughed out loud

when you dream about headphones. My dreams last night included the Sony R10, Sennheiser HD 800, and Audez'e LCD-2 rev2 headphones. There were some Sieveking Sound headphone stands in there too.

When you figure out a sequence of motions to use the toilet with your rig still in your pocket and your iems still in your ears. Especially if your cable is too short.

You sit on the toilet bowl?!
