You know you're a Chilli nut when...............

[PrimeTime]

.......when you wash your hands both BEFORE and AFTER going to the bathroom. 

 
and when you do feel that burn you simply say "theres that again...."

 

[Grass Snake]

You take peppers as an acceptable form of payment.

 

[Vertically Challenged]

When the reaper's coming to visit sounds like a good idea.

 

[Hawaiianero]

When you bring your own peppers to a Thai restaurant and ask them to cook those instead of theirs.
Bonus points are when the kitchen crew comes running out of the kitchen to get away from the fumes

 

[AaronTT]

When a seasoned islander who loves pepper tries your hot sauce, and gets all red in the face and sweaty, and tells you that "yeah, thats a bit hot" then backs down the amount next time, while you hardly blink...and you start chuckling at him like he is the rookie, lol.   been there done that

 

[Mr. Hill]

When your Brother tells you, you don't have to make Sausage So %^&& Hot.   LOL

 

[cruzzfish]

When your wife tells you she thinks that you love your Chilli plants more than her........ (see my original post.)

Well, one should hope one's wife isn't stuck outside in a thunderstorm, so there;s a reason why you haven't done anything like that for her.

Hey I'm sensitive to her needs, I'd go out and hand her an umbrella. 
 
You find yourself making excuses to make another batch of hot sauce.

That was me tonight, lol
Just processed some Alleppo peppers for fermenting tonight...I said I need another milder version for those who cannot tolerate it too hot. Like the wifey, and friends. Really though, its just an excuse
 
Some funny comments so far...lol. I wish I could walk into a restaurant and have a chef come out the kitchen with his mouth on fire from using my peppers...especially a seasoned chef that is no stranger to heat... You know, I might just give it a try for the hell of it, why not. Next time I am at Thai Villa by my home, I think I am going to surprise the waitress and hand here a couple of supers.... *throws out the fishing line and just waits for a hook* Maybe I can throw in a comment like, "make sure you mention to the chef that these are a little too hot for him, so tell him to be careful, as it might be too much for him to handle" Its like telling a kid not to eat any candy, right when you leave the room...

 

[Mr. Hill]

when you started planning for your 2015 grow before the 2014 grow even ended

I have been thinking of 2014, in April of 2013, Ok I am already thinking of 2016.

2 batches back to back this weekend. I can leave the windows open no matter what the outside temperature and still be toasty warm while the whole house fan is on.
 
I knew I was a chili head back in 98, I was sitting down to lunch with a Pilipino friend of mine and he sat two habaneros on the table and challenged me to eat one. While he was cutting his up I popped mine in my mouth and ate it, as I watched his eyes go wide. Since then, it has been the hunt for the perfect pepper, completely ignoring the after eating gut punch, and flamethrower fluctuation.

When the first fresh Reaper is down the hatch before 7:30 AM, lunch sandwich  is loaded with Judy's Lava powder, and there's a brown Moruga waiting for desert after dinner.

 

[mikeg]

"You know you're a chili nut when you..."
...realize that everytime you feel cool, everyone sees you as red-faced and sweaty....

 

[SL3]

When you only use the back of your forearms to rub your eyes.

Each time you visit a garden centre, you check the seed and seedlings departments for something that you don't have. Although the outcome is always the same. 

 

[AZ-Mason]

...you check the mail five times in an hour for the seeds you ordered last week.

 

[lucky_x16]

When your friends react more to the hot sauce your eating than you do and all they do is smell the bottle.

 

[teejay]

When for some reason everything you see in the world reminds you of something chilli related.
 
For example, from the movie "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey", Bill says to Ted:
 
"Ted, don't fear the Reaper !"
