You tell people you got some "new videos" and they ask, "Did you get Pulp Fiction?"

I have done that one once or twice. I love the look on some peoples faces.

I did that back in the 80s... I still have the drawings for a Kangaroo and a Robotron cabinet that I did. You see, I lived in Panama where arcade cabinets were mostly generic... When my family would vacation in the US, I would make my pilgrimiges to the arcades, and on some occasions, I drew up some plans for some machines because I had just taken a mechanical drafting course in 7th grade.
I actually had a carpenter in Panama build me a full-sized arcade cabinet from the plans, then I stuck my Sony 13" TV (which I still have and still works) and hooked up my Atari 800 to it so I could play games on it... I basically held the crappy original Atari joystick on the CP with my left hand, and moved the joystick with my other hand... Never did device a good mounting scheme for that darn joystick... my engineering skills were somewhat limited back then... :-[
But hey, we have come a long way since then... ;D

You just ate dinner off of your Ms Pac cocktail.
You appreciate the gameplay of Gal's Panic
You lie awake at night wondering what joystick is best.
You lie awake at night wondering what trackball is best...and how you should interface it
You know what a "kick harness" is
You see the significance of games designed by Technos, Irem, and Toaplan.
