You grab balloons at a party and say 'We all float down here' or in a creepy voice 'Do you wanna balloon'. Not good done at kids party!
When you go to your doctor and spot right away the "It" paperback among the medicine encyclopedias on a shelf behind his desk and forget all about why you came in the first place.
I clicked on the last post,read it,and formulated my idea,then went back through the thread and read it from the original post..couldn't believe it,mine was already mentioned in a way,by the OP and GNT! oh well,here goes anyhow.. When you make a point of greeting the garbage man every week at the curb with your bag,and exclaim loudly "Hey Trashcan Man!! Trashy!! How you doooooonnnnn!!!" 
When you have all King books or King related books on your bookshelves. Or when you decorate your home with a King theme.
You ask your friends to come over to palaver.
You spray that sumbitch at the post office with a spritzer of distilled water and all he does is haul off and cold-cock you one.
At a wild bonfire party, you get the other partygoers (who've never read any book, let alone DT) to cry out "FOR GILEAD! FOR THE CALLA!"
And then you start burning 'stuffy guy' scarecrows. True story, Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night (er...Nov. 5th, aye?) 2006 or so, at Sis's house.
Yeah, us Muskfolk are cool cats.

You see a mass of birds in the air and say: "the sparrows are flying tonight."
Believe me, I have said that out loud.

I went horse riding once out on a trail and had to resist the urge to pretend I had two guns, point my arms outwards crying 'Gunslingers, to me!' at the top of my voice and then make pew pew pew noises (mainly because it was only the second time I had ridden a horse and I knew none of the people around me).
Does that qualify?

Have to agree here, never too much of such a good thing.
I taught my daughter, right or wrong, that she was to be careful of strangers & people she knows, but was to trust the feeling she had inside about if she should trust or run screaming & I'd back her up every time. One day, when she was 7, her Dad forgot to pick her up from summer camp. She was with a girlfriend & they saw a man at the drop off point, & spoke to to him, as she felt in her guts it was ok. The girls decided to walk home the way they knew I'd be driving home from work in the next half hour. Good girls. I got out early & got them before they had gone 3 blocks. Sometimes it works out.
When you're up on the roof...I forget the reason why now...you see some kid walking down the road, he pauses at the drain opening and you haul off with something like be careful! they all float down there! And 'bout ten minutes later the town cop does a drive by, eyeballing you...up there on the roof trying to look significant.
Or everyone you meet seems like a character in a Stephen King story. And sometimes you can't help but smile, cause you know what's about to happen, sorta.

When you are out in the middle of the lake... and see a boathouse lit up.. and swear to God it looks like Blaine the Mono ..Blaine the Pain ..

The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
Ok, this was a weird one. Last night before sleep I was reading salems lot, I think I got caught in the no man's land between sleep and awake. I was upto the bit where
and I was aware that I had to read it to keep her at bay - literally, reading salems lot was keeping us safe, because I think I was in the scene, then all of a sudden I wake up and realise that I am still actually reading, my heart pounding in my chest.
That was horrible. At that point I thought "ok, enough of that for one night" and closed my book and turned the lamp off.
Ben and jimmy are watching the body of Mrs glick and it weakens
