The skimpy little halter tops were much better than the shoulderpad sweaters

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

LOL, I did that as well and felt out of place doing it.

For a while there, every time I'd go out to the Movie theatre, I'd tell my friend or family members to hold on a sec. I just want to take a look at something and do the head nod gesture toward the arcade. They understood and knew that it wasn't even to play a game. It was to spec out some cab build detail or something.

A little dated now, but happened when I was a teenager:

You worked weekends to get "quarter money."

You stopped going to your local 7-11 when it stopped having arcade games.

While playing at your local 7-11 (before above), you don't even turn your head from your game to look out the window when somebody says, "Dude, I think you bike is being stolen." ...

... until you get to a break between levels.

Standing outside the 7-11 after your bike was stolen, you aren't sure what you're more pissed at: losing your bike, or losing the two lives you had left when you ran outside after looking between levels when it was too late anyway.  :(

you take apart a cabinet your restoring for somebody else in order to measure it and record its dimensions for posterity (and fellow arcade addicts)
