When you are walking on the sidewalk and you use proper head movement to avoid tree branches.
When in a crowded area like the mall, you use footwork and pivoting to avoid bumping into anyone.
When your girlfriend tries to tickle you, you assume the "Philly Shell" stance.
You spend an extra 3 minutes in the bathroom at work, shadowboxing and trying to figure out the correct footwork for Floyd Mayweather Jr's leaping left hook.
When someone tosses something to you, you arent expecting it, and you are mad at yourself when you lean back to dodge it, thinking to yourself "Damn, if I did that in a fight, the guy could have knocked me out."
You do crunches at the local gym (not a boxing gym) with your hands in front of your face like a fighting stance.
Your head pops up like a meerkat whenever someone even mentions the word boxing, even if its a FedEx employee talking about shipping a package.
You think it is perfectly normal to carry a small thing of vaseline around with you in your backpack, and you arent afraid to admit it.
When you see a random guy with a scar over his eye the first thing that pops into your head is "He should have worked on his head movement more".
You practice your "staredown" face in the mirror while brushing your teeth.
And finally, yes...I am guilty of every single one of these.
