Well this is a topic to gather 100 numbered different signs that you are a very nerdy paleo fan. you should have two sections, general ones that don't apply to your, and ones that do.
Lets begin
Applies to myself
1 You want to be a paleontologist after leaving school, or already are one.
2 You own numerous fossils in your house.
3 At least one of these belongs to a large reptile (Platypterygius longmani) in my case
4: You found it yourself
5: It was from at least 100 kms away from home
6:it is one of your prized possessions ( this big slab also contains fish vertebra, bleminites and seven gilled shark teeth.
7: You have interest in ammonites, trilobites, extinct plants and condonts
8: You actually know what a condont is and do not erupt into laughter upon hearing it.
9: You Know more dinosaurs then people you know (I know and am friends with a few dozen people though.)
10: you have helped prepare an actual dinosaur that has (or will have) a scientific paper written about it and it's own name. ( a titanosaur called wade in my case.)
11: you have done some preparation on your own fossils.
12: you relate more to the professionals then to six year olds.
you can spot what kind of animal you fossil is by looking at it (very roughly, down to the order)
13 get's excited at the sight of actual fossils, not just the restorations
14: face palms self when seeing inaccurate dino depictions
15 has helped with the accurate depiction of dinosaurs (Dinodoom, Primeval predators)
Not applying to me
16: you take an interest in the official scientific papers that belong to a new species
17: you have read those scientific papers (TL,DR) in my case, should of read the one for tyrannotitan though, all four pages!)
18: you have actualy written one of these
18:You own fossils from multiple formations and time periods

How do you like that, can you add your own?

Throw a huge fit when people say Brontosaurus is a dinosaur WHEN IT IS NOT A VALID NAME!

Drone on for ages about dinosaurs

Can't keep a fixed favourite dinosaur

Favourites every tweet to do with dinosaurs

Carries a big dino book everywhere (Thomas Holtz's book in my case)

There's a wittle dinosaur somewhere....

When you laugh when watching Dinosaur Revolution

When you get irritated when someone says dinosaurs live with cavemen

When you have made a presentation of dinosaurs to preschool kids, with quills and feathers (I told them Tyrannosaurus probably had them xD ) also included

When you can spell some of the most tongue twisting extinct animal names
