... You scream in world-ending horror every time you see a block of soy cheese.

[Alfador]

...you make silly descriptions for people, real or fictitious, with a Dwarf Fortress spin. Examples include my signature, and the following:

Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright has been happy lately. He won a case recently. He enjoyed a truly decadent meal.
Phoenix Wright likes evidence, cross-examination, spirit channelers, objections, and not guilty verdicts. He absolutely detests Dwarven Justice.
This human menaces with spikes of hair.

ADDENDUM: Based on the Adventure Mode experience I had just now.

...when you believe that throwing rocks at the ground all day will eventually make you strong enough to strangle a lion to death with your bare hands. (It DID.)

You know you have played to much DF when...

... you ask your local mason to smooth the floor for you (regardless of weather it's made of stone or not).

... you attempt to draft your friends into the service in order to get them to go someplace specific.

... you refuse to operate a door because your rival walked through it and insist that an armed serviceman should come and "retake" it for you.

... you puke as soon as you walk outside in the daytime.

...you make a DF reference when the manager and the sheriff come to your apartment while you throw a party with more than 20 guests.

... you ask the guy at Home Depot where the dark stone doors are.

... you try to build a 5x10 foot bridge with just 13 cinder blocks

... you have a tenancy to always face south when you move in any direction.

... you assume that guy on the bus was a carpenter just because he wore a yellow shirt.

... you collapse you own ceiling in order to unflood your basement.

You know you really have played to much DF when Tosid Asteshemuth engraves an exceptionally designed image of you at the computer.

I was surprised to learn that they can do that. I thought all mules were sterile, but apparently some female mules aren't. They do, however, only pass on the female genes, so their offspring is a 100% pure horse, with no donkey genes in it.

I learned this on the Wikipedia.

...when you want to have people beaten and chained up for not doing as you want.

No, wait... That's pretty common.

[THLawrence]

When you dream of demons charging through the fort.
The fort and demons are all in ascii.
The fort that they are rampaging through is my fort from just before I built the new dining hall.
To try and stop them you order a dwarf to build a drawbridge across the main hall in hopes of raising it to cut off the front half of the fort from the demon.
The dwarf you order to build the bridge is none other then your legendary engraver/legendary mason who has been on architecture for quite sometime.
You know the dwarf by their first name. Ushrir
The bridge is built but isn't hooked up in time.
When connecting the bridge to the lever the dwarf dies.
You think no Ushrir.
You realize the fortress is doomed but it doesn't really matter because you backed up before crossing the magma.
You wake up and can't get back to sleep for ten minutes because of the shadows from the closet.

The next morning you want to post this on a "You know you have played to much DF when..." thread and are delighted to find one open on the first page.

True story

[AlanL]

You've played too much DF when...

... you are afraid geothermal power plants will be destroyed by magma men.

... you think that a raised drawbridge could stop an invading army.

... you think that a raised drawbridge with a lever could destroy an invading army.

... you wonder why the military doesn't make M-16 weapon traps in their bunkers.

... the traffic on the highway makes you throw a tantrum, and you destroy a 6 lane wide bridge with your bare hands, plunging yourself into the river.

... you refer to graffiti as "beautiful engravings"

... having a good communal dining room is all you need to stay happy.

... you have a dream one night, and you steal stuff to make what was in your dream.

... it really does make you legendary.

... you eat nothing but purple mushrooms.

... you cook your booze and eat the result.

... you pray to your deity, asking him/her to edit the raws and set your [DAMBLOCK] to 1,000,000.

... you ask the local toad population for tips on programming things.

... you think that the number -3 is the symbol of the apocalypse.

... you automatically loathe anyone who happens to be tall and big-eared.

... you think that throwing a projectile can be just as effective as firing it.

... whenever the mayor arrives to your local area, you think your town/city will be sieged eventually.

This one made me laugh until I cried.

You know you've played too much DF when:
You start thinking things like "Cancel all jobs: Play DF."
You wonder why your cats and dogs don't follow you around constantly.
You expect the dead mouse in the yard to give off a purple cloud.
You go without sleep or sustenance because you're under siege and can't break away.

[creodor]

When Windows pops up one of those annoying 'read me' alert bubbles and you automatically hit 'a + space' to clear it...

Yeah. I just did that five minutes ago.

[The Prince]

... your neighbor is murdered and you not only know about it immediately but also somehow think it's a good idea to race to their house to steal their possessions while the murderer is still there.

... your ability to function is virtually unhindered by the loss of a crucial limb.

... you starve to death in your front lawn because you accidentally locked yourself out of the house.

... you never drink anything else if alcohol is readily available.

... you completely ignore fire, behaving normally even if you are engulfed in flame.

... you eat horses once they have given birth.

[Sir Edmund]

man this place is a gold mine for msn names

and i cant think of a good played to much df-ism , they have all been taken  

[WillNZ]

...you have a hole in your wall, but you won't repair it, because "rewalling hasn't been implemented yet".

...you start scouting sites for dwarf fortresses when driving cross-country.

...you start mining out a cliff-face, muttering "dwarves make it look so easy".

...you discover that cooking alcohol really doesn't make it more nutritious, nor does it quintuple your food output.

[sorbius]

You know you've played DF too much when....

...you necro a thread about playing DF too much

...you try to get all of your friends and family to play DF

...you change all of your avatars and sigs on other forums to DF screens and quotes

...you laugh out loud at the thought of a child catching fire after wandering to top of a glass tower

...you freak out and 'cancel task' when you see large birds flying around several z levels above you

[Armok]

...when you walk around thinking of various things suddenly someone is in your way and you yell at them: "Cancels idle; cannot find path!"
Really happened...

[Asehujiko]

...have a dream about your WoW character(a dwarf...) being chased all the way through blackrock depths by a huge grey E that reaches the ceiling(and both side walls) of pretty much every room including the Iron Halls yet still manages to sneak though any given door without effort. My character made it almost out(Roccor's area) before he got dazed and whacked. Then i walked away from my computer and saw a big grey H staring at me from outside my window(it didn't have eyes or whatever but i knew for sure that it was staring at me)

I woke up at 3am and didn't get any more sleep that night.

Which is strange because i didn't play either game alot yesterday.
