Eh, don't even start... it's very difficult when you have to plan family visit, at least Japanese Nationals are unwatchable real time, so it can be watched later but RusNats, there's just no excuse like Christmas...When you want to enjoy all the Christmas do's but you also got the all important Russian Nationals going on simultaneously and are in a big dilemma

You know you're a figure skating fan when you find a recording of a show featuring one of your favourite - now retired - skaters on Youtube, and you go back to watch it multiple times, even though it's a show for children and he is skating dressed up as an onion.

You watch 30 skaters per discipline on your computer and there is a lot of lag time until the marks are posted so you patiently wait to see each skater. There was a few technical glitches with the Skate Canada Challenge 2021 while I watched on my computer but worth every moment to see such talented skaters being developed here in Canada.

Right enough. That is a good one too. Well spotted, @labgoat !
Although, given what the rest of the title of recipe #2 is, that particular mis-reading could be open to interpretation...
So, maybe better to stay clear of that one.

...when you are looking through the TV listings for the movie channels, and you see a film on called "3:10 To Yuma". And you think "I bet you that it's a romance based around a bullet train. Or a war film about part of the Pacific campaign during WW2".
No. It was a cowboy film. 
It's all Yuma Kagiyama's fault for making me think it was set in Japan!

...when you visit a fellow GS member's Twitter page and see a post that starts "I see JB had to recruit his wifey" and you stop in your tracks confused, and ask yourself "Is Jason Brown married?! 
"
As you read on, it turns into a complaint about "JB" doing something, and you think "WHAT???!!! I can't imagine Jason doing anything even remotely controversial!
"
But then the post starts talking about music and the Kardashian / Jenner family, so I assume the post was about somebody that is married to one of them.
It's well seeing that I don't pay any attention to that family. Or celebrities in general.
Oh, how I wish people wouldn't refer to people in their posts by their initials...

...when you have to clear your calendar for the days the big competition is on (a little easier during the pandemic). Please, nobody call me, nobody email me, nobody text me, etc. Also you have to have your snacking material planned out -- especially since all 4 days start between 4 am to 5:30 am for me!

and remember not to order anything from Amazon or any E-shopping sites this week. The couriers are known to be the champions of choosing the most inopportune moments possible to arrive. Twice this season they rang just at the moment my fav skater was about to skate

Same! I'm not one of these who whines that the time is unfair! You want to watch it, you gotta deal with it. It's a choice! That being said, it does help to have one's favorite snacks and caffeinated beverages handy!3 am to 4:30 am for me
