… the guy down the hall protects his apartment with lethal trap spells.

… the local religious authority is rarely in because she always gets called to travel across the country and slay servants of evil.

… NO ONE remembers the hyacinth in the garden.

… you are overjoyed to find out that your children will be the same species as you.

… you know a handful of people that are key components of ancient prophecies.

Couldn't resist… :)

*grins* Good ones! The Hyacinth has to be my sneakiest plot device. Absolutely everyone did a 'huh what?' when that one was revealed. Not only did the Keepers forget it, but so did the readers! ;-)

And for a few of my own…

…you call your home 'your little hole in the ground', and you aren't kidding.

…your father, brother, and sister, started out as your mother, father and brother respectively!

…you've ever complained your master rides you too hard, and you meant that literally.

The Hyacinth is the best plot device ever.

I will never look at flowers the same. :)

It's the smell. So soft and delicate, makes you forget all your worries!

Didn't you ever wonder why folks say you should stop and smell the roses? ;-)

There must be a good story behind that statement. I'm not sure I want to hear it thou. Sound REALLY painful!

I'm gonna have to find a way to work it into a story … (rubs paws together mischievously) Gordon is going to hate me.

Meh. If your protagonist doesn't hate you, you aren't doing your job. ;)

<grin> We should put a copy of the original YMBFMI list on the wiki. It would make it that much easier to add new submissions…

Well I saw this and just had to put down a few. And then a few turned into a lot… sorry if some are close to something we already have, or if some don't seem accurate… once I got on a role, I didn't pay quite so much attention to that ^_^;;;

… the little green men aren't from another planet.
… when someone asks you for directions you say down the hall on the left, no matter what they asked for.
… going down the hall and looking on your left will actually gets you where you're going.
… your apartment doesn't NEED to be protected against thieves because they can't find where you live.
… YOU can't find where you live because your room moved somewhere else.
… when you hear a voice coming out of nowhere it's probably because the speaker is really short.
… you are cursed with endless bad hair days because no one invented soap for fur.
… calling someone a chauvinist pig, a foxy lady, a fat cow, etc. is considered a racial slur.
… your home is advertised as a good place for retirement due to its 'occasional youthening effects'.
… the rooster crows at dawn and you make a call on your neighbor to complain about their rowdy kids.
… your daughter is the best ratter around and it saves you a ton of money on feeding her.
… you're scared of the girl down the street who you have a crush on because you're scared she'll accidentally eat you.
… you know a kangaroo better at telling the future than all of the fortune tellers around put together.
… you can't make it to ten by counting your fingers.
… you're not let into the army unless the average human would consider you a mutated freak.
… half the people named David you know are girls.
… you can spot an outsider a mile away because they have wrinkles, but no fur and don't crossdress.

Ah, I have to try this :D

…you find yourself spending a lot more on shampoo than your average hippie (No offense to any hippies out there x3)
…you seem far advanced in your class because you got there at only ten, yet you still manage to fall behind your classmates.
…you're not allowed to beat the dog with a newspaper… because the dog will have you put in the dungeon for assault.
…eating a hamburger is cannabilism.

Wish I had more… it's hard to come up with these on the spot. And I'm sure many of them, if not all, have already been said one way or another :P
