Well Toast can be delicious  
I have just 'risked' 22 dollars (American) on a very risky American death cert. 
I don't drink, smoke, or imbibe in other expensive outlay's apart from gardening... I spend 'nada' No visits to the kids or grandkids or local attractions... etc etc.. I am a boring genealogist gardening fanatic.  I hardly watch TV either apart from.... Severide... cannot miss those gorgeous eyes .... never mind 'GA GA'   he is MINE

Being amazed by a birth not registered in the period 1837 to 1874. Even though I have them on baptism and census records and cannot find any known birth even by checking the local office, it is still fascinating.

... the fact that this thread lasts way over 20 pages doesn't annoy you in the slightest! Hope the toast was worth it!

....whenever you are on a car journey going from, well, anywhere to anywhere, you see a town or village name and come up with " One of my Edmonds/Farringtons/Kemps/Greens/Tinkers/Archers/Bonifaces/Bridgers/etc/etc/etc lived here at some point"

Telling lizdb that I also have Boniface's in my tree. Shows how addicted I am. From Beeding and Horsham and Nuthurst.

Mine are the West Sussex ones. Though I am sure they all came from the same source originally, but as yet haven't linked them.

Fictional TV characters with locative surnames and thinking their ancestors came from there.

Looking at a graph at work and thinking it is a birth certificate.

Being told I am to obsessed with people who died 100 years ago.

You know you've  been hit with the genealogy bug if…

You explore unusual, non-related family names for fun, as well as your own family names.

You know you are addicted when after reading too many Harry Potter FAN FIC stories, you start looking through census records for the surname of Greengrass. (after the fictional character of Daphne Greengrass - it is an unusual name).

For the Record - The Greengrass name is found pretty much totally in Norfolk and Suffolk.

Lots of Shippers write FANFIC stories where Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass get together instead of Hermione or Ginny
