Here's a thread I started on the SDMB, underlining mine:
Me:
Hail Ants:
Now, as soon as I read this reply, I thought to myself, "How'd you know it was a farmhouse? I never said it was a farmhouse.
The funny part is, it was a farmhouse!
Do any of you have any other funny stories about how Mafia has crept into your life when you least expect it?

I editted your post since the quotes/tags were messed up (the quote=username doesn't work here, haha).
Not yet. I consider myself lucky.

I find myself wanting to FoS or vote for people in non-Mafia related threads.

I find myself wanting to FoS or vote for people in non-Mafia related threads. I think those are perfectly acceptable alternatives to the tired "Cite?" or rolling-eyes smiley. I'm currently following my cats around the house with my camera, stalking and harassing them for the purrfect shots (though the ones I've taken of them previously while not trying are far superior lolcat mafia fodder. I pretty much drive to work and home again every day spending 90% of the time mulling over whatever game I'm currently in. I check here and/or the Dope on a freakishly frequent basis. Seriously. I've definitely got it bad.

I don't know if this counts, but I often find myself suddenly trying to come up with ways to make random things in my everyday life into a themed Mafia game.
*goes to grocery store*
Well apples could be vanilla townies...but oranges would definitely be scum...

I make up mafia games all the time.
And i keep having a problem with bringing up WIFOM into my Biology class, on how to answer the teachers Multiple choice questions, and so when I explain it to my classmates how I knew that two of the answers were WIFOM and so i avoided them, and went to the other one, I end up getting a bunch of wide-eyed kids going "What?" And I have to go... shit. Did i just say WIFOM out loud?
I also FoS people randomly. And now when i read threads/messages from people, I start to analyze them for faulty analysis and crappy logic. And for knowing things they shouldn't know. so i've started sorting my freinds into those who have Scum tells, and those who are Pro-Town based on like... their facebook comments to me or such.

I'll get an e-mail from someone in another department and mentally I'll be in "Mafia" mode and try to find the hidden motivations behind what they're saying before I remember that it's work and there are none.Also, the game has completely altered the way I look at certain posters on the Dope. I think I've said this, but CaerieD was the Detective in my first game. Now, if I open any thread at all and see her name, my first thought is, "she's the Detective, and therefore surely right about whatever it is she's saying."

Even if it's just a reply to the rugby club via email, for example! <snip>Also, the game has completely altered the way I look at certain posters on the Dope.

I sure am glad we were scum together at least once, then. Otherwise, I'd hate to think of what you thought of me since my previous games!

I knew I was playing too much Mafia when I read about the "Rebel Scum" fan site and I immediately thought "ooh, that'd be a cool title for a themed Mafia game!".

I'm FoSing movie and TV characters.
For example, my sister is watching Forever Knight on DVD, and Lacroix is obviously a Vampire Scum. ;D (Nick, of course, is a pro-Town Vampire Detective.)

Forever Knight: A drama about an 800 year old, angst ridden vampire who lives in present day Toronto as a homicide detective in an attempt to repay for his sins and regain his mortality, with the aid of Natalie Lambert, a mortal coroner, while trying to keep his secret from his partner. His quests are hindered by his tormented past and his seductive 2000 year old master, Lucien Lacroix.

Tonight they rerun an episode of "CSI" about a missing woman... Somebody mentions "FoS" My first reaction is: "Huh? Finger of Suspicion?" Then one of the plot expositors explains that this is short for "Friend of (the) Sheriff". *EDIT* I can't hear the word "scum" or "scummy" any more without automatically going into Mafia-playing mode. Case in Point

Yeah, but if you'd just accept one of the multiple offers of free membership, then you can post about your dreams for the reading pleasure of vast handfuls of insomniacs.

I knew I'd been playing too much mafia when...
(this really happened, just a minute ago, and I'm not using the filters...I'm really typing these words...)
I went to the dryer to take out some new work shirts and said to myself "go se, I'm going to have to iron these gorram things!"

More signs:
*Watching Sci-Fi's mini series Tin Man, I snerked every time they mentioned the character named "Lylo". *My roommate was playing some online games and mentioned a game called "Missionaries and Cannibals" (a puzzle game where X Missionaries and Y Cannibals have to cross a river with a small boat, and the Missionaries would be eaten if the Cannibals were of equal or greater number). My first (subliminal) reaction was "ooh, Mafia setup!".
