You know you're a Green Day fan when...

[JardyOfSuburbia]

I apologize if this isn't thread-worthy or has been done already, but I thought it could be fun.

Are there ever any instances that occur in your daily life where someone says something and you immediately start singing a Green Day song in your head? Or if you see a sign you think of a song?

I'll give a few examples of what I mean:

-While watching the NFL playoffs today, the commentators have described a play as "Bang, bang" a few times, so I immediately started singing the song in my head.

-There's a street I pass called Longview Ave and I always start humming the opening bass line

-My brother took a picture from Gate 86 at an airport the other day and told me, "There's no return."

-I will sing Give Me Novocaine in my head while the dentist is drilling my teeth

-Same goes for Blood, Sex and Booze when things get kinky in the bedroom

These are just a few examples of what I'm getting at and I'm curious if anyone else had things like this happen in their own crazy Green Day brains.

[Billie Joe's Fender]

You know you're a Green Day fan when you spend all day uploading Green Day songs tuned down to Eb on YouTube.

[lizziebix]

Obviously always think of Billie Joe when I see of our vendor's name: Armstrong Medical.

[Christian's Inferno!]

You know you're a GD fan when you see a toilet and it says "Armitage shanks" on it and you think about the song 

[Jesus of Seneca]

When you're in the dentist's office getting a tooth worked on, and you're singing geek stink breath in your head as though you're the guy on the video 

[Montclare]

When you look at the clock, see that it's 4:09, and start thinking about coffeemakers.

[AimieeSmith]

When you always notice 21 , 80 , 86. 99 , 1000 , 1039 and 2000 in your math's class  ......

And when Paper Lantern's sums up the state of your love life so far 

[jengd]

You have every album/CD and DVD they every put out, including stuff about them they didn't put out.

You check social media first thing every morning just in case they have been doing something.

You visit a forum to talk about them virtually every day to see what is going on!  Oh, and you do this while wearing a Green Day t-shirt and listening to Green Day! Other bands are available..........

- When you scream and turn the volume up whenever a GD song is on the radio - although you could listen to the song anytime you want. But only a true fan knows that it always sounds better on the radio

-When you call in sick at work because you're going to a GD show, but your boss didn't give you a day off

-When you compare every single show of another band you see to a GD show and think "Dammit, GD is so much better live"

-When you have at least one GD song that perfectly describes every phase of your life / every mood

[pouty bitch]

When you're walking along the street and you pretend that you're in the WICA/BOBD/Walking Contradiction music video.

When you have your first driving lesson and the only thing going through your mind is the Holiday music video.

When you're writing the name 'Billy' and you forget it can be spelled with a Y.

When you google Green Day twice per hour just to see if anything has happened.

When you physically can't get out of bed until someone plays a Green Day song downstairs, and then you have to get up to go and listen to it.

[jengd]

When, on the fangirl thread, you all start talking about Billie's bellie because your spellchecker is so used to Billie that "y"as become redundant!

[pacejunkie punk]

You post while sitting in your car in the parking lot of the supermarket because while driving you just had another thought about what Stop When the Red Lights Flash means.

[_Mace_]

When you can't help but think "My mental stability reaches its bitter end" when you see your crush in the halls. 

[The Grohl]

When you think about Green Day whenever anyone mentions a trilogy.

[RedundantIdiot]

* When you check the guys Insagrams as soon as you get home from work and click onto this forum

* When you get excited when you see someone wearing a GD top or hoodie

* When you get Bang Bang stuck in your head every time you hear the word Vietnam 

* Whenever anyone says anything which a GD lyric and you start singing that song  

[pouty bitch]

When your friend said that Green Day were shit, so you refused to speak to him until he bought you GD memorabilia.

When you sing any song and your voice just comes out as Billie's accent.

When you're at school and you apply every sociological or psychological theory that you learn to GD.

When you basically cry yourself to sleep every night because you haven't been able to go to a GD show yet, and you're starting to think that you'll never get the opportunity.

This fits me so perfectly.

When you hear 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor, and you sing the lyrics like this:

 

[The Grohl]

When you seethe with rage seeing Billie's name spelled as "Billy"

[pouty bitch]

When you hear a snippet of a GD song in the background of a TV show, so you rewind it and listen to it again multiple times, then go on twitter to see if anybody else noticed.

Ooh I remember when they were about to perform on Ellen DeGeneres back in 2012 so Ellen misspelled his name and the replies on Twitter were primal ;p

Lately, whenever I see someone picking up their dogs poop I say “action turd” in my head.    And I find it mildly funny every single time.   Send help.

When someone says “action turd” and you recognize it as a Green Day reference.

It’s ok, we understand and are your support group, not sure that classes as help though 😂

When someone call's you an idiot we take it as a compliment
