If you are anything like me then you enjoy the show Criminal Minds just a little too much. Watching every episode over a million times and still trying to figure out who the serial killer is even though you have seen that episode already. Criminal Minds is a way for some of us to live out our dream of being in the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) next to the gorgeous Agent Derrick Morgan and the witty Dr. Reid. Here are 5 signs you are addicted to Criminal Minds just like me.
1. You have watched every episode more than 10 times.
If you are truly addicted to Criminal Minds, this repetitious viewing means that you are in the beginning stages of your addiction. This also means that you have watched the first season more than once and know that Gideon is the real deal and Agent Hotchner and Hailey are too adorable until their tragic departure later on in the show. You also are aware of Morgan and Penelope's adorable yet sexy banter to each other when working on the case. Beware of this stage because once you finish that first season the addiction takes over your life!
2. You mentally put yourself on the team and become a profiler in reality.
Now that you are pass the first season and mastered the art of profiling you will start to take that art and use it in your everyday life. You will start to analyze every person that passes you on the street. You will start taking that to your work and profiling your customers and you may even profile the cashier at the grocery store. Only because you have seen and learned that serial killers are like noGrmal people too.
3. You secretly watch Criminal Minds at work.
While everyone else is doing their jobs, you are on your computer acting like you are working when you are really watching Criminal Minds on Netflix wishing you worked for the FBI instead of being an accountant or a secretary. Any type of job whether it be a student worker position or a lawyer Criminal Minds is always so much more tempting than your actual work.
4. You really want to be Penelope Garcia.
Not only are you wanting to be a profiler you are also wanting to be Penelope Garcia. She is a crazy awesome hacker for the FBI who not only sees all the action from her computer but she doesn't have to fight the serial killers or see dead bodies in person. It is the perfect job plus being called baby girl by Agent Morgan makes even more sweeter.
5. You really know you are an addict if you cried like a baby when Agent Morgan left the BAU.
It was a hard moment for all addicts of Criminal Minds when Agent Derrick Morgan decided to leave the BAU for his son. Not only did he name his son after Dr. Spencer Reid he had to cry when he said goodbye to Penelope Garcia. This is a life changing event for everyone in the show and watching the show.
Congratulations! If you said yes to all of these then you are addicted to Criminal Minds like me! Embrace it and continue to watch the show at work, at home, and on the road. Welcome to the dark side of Criminal Minds! Now go watch Criminal Minds! Don't worry we aren't crazy! Don't let anyone tell you to stop watching Criminal Minds you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
