When you leave a note for new roommates after you've moved in first that the syringes are for ink and are just drying out after a quick ink change.

When there is so much carp under the spacebar on your keyboard that everything becomes one long word despite your best efforts, so you pop the thing off to clean underneath it and find the offending object is... a piece of dessicated ink sac...
The nervous twitch begins when someone says
"Oh! a fountain pen! I haven't seen one of those for years - may I have a look...?"

...when you desperately search for a fp database app for the phone, that will allow you to add photos, so that you won't accidentally buy more of that bordeaux or blue Liberty model J that you already own a handful of - or those Parker 51's.
When the Parker 45 arrives in the mail and you find yourself hesitating to put Sheaffer Skrip in it because it just seems - wrong...

- when you've got five pens inked up, you know exactly where they are; your desk is filled with fountain pens and ink bottles - and you cannot for the life of you remember where you put the notepad, when you finally pull yourself together to write that grocery list/note/whatever... *palmface*

When you tell your friends that your vacation involves a fountain pen convention......and they respond by calling you a true geek.

. . . when you are trying to decide where to go for that much-needed weekend getaway and the decision hinges upon which pen shops are in each destination city.
When you are going through your grandparents things (with permission of course) and your biggest excitement stems from the letter press correspondence set and the reams of official ABBOTT paper, which is 80gms and beautifully textured. I am now sitting cutting off some of the edging to make A5 sets. That's normal right?

... when you are explaining to your mother why you are feeling up all the pads of paper in the office supply aisle of the supermarket and she laughingly calls you a paper pervert...

... You have to move everything (I mean everything) in the house for the painters and the only things you're worried about are your inks.
Oh, and you describe the paint colour in an ink colour.

In your hunting through antique stores, an owner who is an avid picker and collector of various Ye Olde Thinges states that you are the first person he has met that collects pens. His much older associate, who isn't a collector, tells you that he still owns a few old Sheaffers that are the only pens he uses and you find yourself giddy with the fact that you've met a non-collector who finds FPs to be utilitarian and wouldn't consider using a ballpoint.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings. ~~Yates
