you know you are addicted to footbag when you are at subway and on the menu it reads "for a footlong add" and you can't figure out what a footlong component is, how do you translate it into job's notation and how many adds is it actually worth, and why in the world is subway getting involved in footbag so much? (and I DO have an official subway footbag) ADDICTED!
. . . when you walk into your local video store and the guy behind the counter immediatly ask's where your bag is. You pull on out of your pocket toss it to him, find a movie and kick with the worker for an hour before going to watch movie.
. . . when the 22 year old video store employee dreams about you and footbag . . .
One of my friends had a dream about me playing before.
You know you're addicted to footbag when you think up a string/routine in your head while listening to some music you think would be cool for a routine.

When there's no bag around and you just need that footbag fix so you start doing clippers with anything near, (I've done ping pong paddles, cell phones, stuffed animals, crumpled paper balls, a computer mouse, etc.)

Haha I do that when I go to CVS or places like that. Office Depot had one of those stress reliever gel things and I was using that, CVS had a Easter 'stuffed peep' and I was shreddin it up with that. Both worked surprisingly well.

... if your Lavers are the ONLY pair of shoes you wear because you always want to be ready to play.
... if you "air shred" in public.
... if you stare at peoples shoes judging them to be worthy for footbag or if you're just scanning for Lavers.
... if you buy clothes thinking about whether you can kick in them or not. Or if they would still be comfortable with your freestyle gear under them.
... if you're walking/driving around the city and you see an open area with lots of people and you think to yourself, "That would be a great place to shred".
... if you play with people much younger or much older, more talented or less talented, just cuz you love to play.
... if you e-mail or call some one you've never met to ask them if they want to have a shred session.
... if some one you've never met e-mails or calls you to have shred session and you don't even hesitate to say yes.
... if you wear footbag shirts 6 out of 7 days of the week. One day is laundry day.
... if you wear your footbag shirt (after you've shred in it) for another couple days and don't give a damn. It's your favorite shirt!
... if commuting for hours to a shred session is routine.
... if you're the last person in your footbag club and you still show up to sessions just to play alone.
... if you have multiple pairs of lavers to "experiment" on.
... if the only thing left of your lavers is the sole and you've practically had to tape them on your feet to play.
... if choosing between new shoes or a new footbag is your greatest dilema.
... if you start to think that the white lavers look better dirty and used than they do brand new.
... if you've woken up in the middle of the night doing freestyle moves in your sleep.
... if you shreik every time a hacker does a toe pick-up with your freestyle bag.
... if you've got multiple colored lavers to color coordinate with your shorts.
... if you name your son Blade.
Hahahah, I've done several of these, and I wouldn't really consider myself a junky.
