You know you're a C152 pilot when you shoulder barge your car door to open it.
I've actually done this more than once and when the door didn't open I had a rather confused feeling for a few seconds.

...you're driving in your car, need to concentrate on a difficult traffic situation but can't find the "pilot isolation" button to mute out the chitchat of your passengers.
...you back up your TomTom with an actual road atlas.

Dulles Airport, Washington DC. Couple of hours to kill, ate a meal, then decided to do the walk from one end of the concourse to the other....I calculate the concourse is at least a mile and a half, so that would be 3 miles, should take another hour.....
Stopped at the farthest end from my London gate....to catch my breath, leaned against the barrier of a flight to Texas, where the pilot, hoping NOT to have to offload the bags of a missing passenger, asked me "Are you for Houston?"
Without any thought, I firmly replied "Negative!"
His look of surprised recognition and brotherhood kept me airborne all the way back to the London gate.
PS. I don't look like a pilot, I look like a granny. Heck, I am a granny.

I had a customer ring me at work, and at the end of the conversation he asked "are you a pilot?" and I was thinking WTF how the hell does he know. He said that I had read out all the letters from a product code using the phonetic alphabet. Didn't realise that I had until he told me!
