You know your a true gamer when: when life intercepts with gaming, it takes a back seat until unavoidables. Unavoidables being defined as any non-user generated wait. This includes load screens, search times, boring cutscenes, opening videos, etc.
Even though almost every game has a pause feature, it is still a habit to put whatever has come up on hold until one of the unavoidables. Pauses are only reserved for getting the phone, being yelled at, and kissing the girlfriend.
examples:
World of Warcraft: waiting to go to the bathroom while your character is resting up, or on a flightpath.
Online FPS (Halo): having to pee halfway through a match and holding it in until the match ends. Most wait until they have initiated a search for a new game.
Why? It saves time of course! Also: load screens are times that you have to wait anyway, and if you wait it seems longer. So: get up and pee.
Or... you could always keep kitty litter in the corner of your room and pretend you have a cat...
