I can no longer walk through automatic doors without doing the force open thing.
Any rod/meterstick/dowel becomes a lightsaber in my hand (complete with sound effects)
Sometimes I will try to use force pull to get objects out of reach.
And one that hasn't been mentioned yet:
Whenever I walk down an aisle of people (like in a movie theater or between two lines of people), I start walking like Vader, hands behind the back and everything, while either mentally or physically humming Imperial March.

Once, I was at school and I was walking around the classroom like Vader before class thinking. But I was humming the Imperial march. One of my friends comes in and goes.
"Being Darth Vader today?" I just nodded and started to hum again.

Oh and sometimes when my brother and I are raking I'll just go "pszewwww" and he'll do the same thing and before you know it we're battling it out with rakes in the front yard.
Anothing is I actually do the "Force-opens-the-door" thing on elevators. Although it's risky because a person could be on the other side and then when the doors open they see you doing it, and it's happned to me before.

This has got to be the best thread ever!
Anyways, for what I can no longer do normally...
Whenever I look outside and see ominous looking clouds approaching, I always start humming the Emperor's Theme.
When I was out driving the other day and almost hit a squirrel, I said to myself "That was too close!"
I always use SW lines in everyday life, especially when giving advice. (just too many examples to mention  )
Everything turns into a lightsaber or blaster in my hands, and yes, I definitely force push automatic doors.
Whenever I am on the internet and a page is loading, I find myself using waving my hand around like I am "some kind of Jedi or something" to try and get the page loaded faster.
There are so many other things I can't normally do now because of SW that I simply cannot think of now 
Oh! And talk like Yoda I do!
Even when mean to I do not ...

I say 'all too easy' alot too. Also, one time we were doing projects in science, and one of my friends had this cool one. So what do I do? I lower my voice and go 'Impressive'. One of my guy friends next to me looked at me and goes, "Stop saying Star Wars lines!" LOL...

I have a polished wooden floor in my lounge, and a stone one in my kitchen. Often, when I'm rushing between the two, I'll skid to an emergency halt much like Obi-Wan in the Theed hangar power reactor corridor thingy in TPM.

Well I can't help but say "MOVE ALONG, MOVE ALONG" to my daughter when she straggling behind while shopping.
I also Hand jesture to automatic doors, sometimes when approaching them I'm saying "Open the Blast doors, Open the Blast doors and I tend to stare out of windows for no apparent reason with my hands behind my back.
I also yawn like Vader is breathing and often say to my wife when she's wrong "apology accepted captain Needa"
I also try the Jedi mind trick on her which usually results in and I quote "You Idiot"
I also can't watch the movies without adding sounds and the lines (I MUST STOP THIS)
I can't go shopping without searching every toy section.
Nor can I go to bed before 2am to post here or without visiting my usual SW sites.
I also use the force to change traffic lights. And If my wife says or does something nasty to me something bad usually happens to her like she trips or something, my sister also thinks I am in league with the devil since she saw me walk up to a fire place my hand over it only to see the flames leap up not once but twice.( she was pretty spun out by it )
But other then that I lead a perfectly normal life.

"Howsabout walking thru automatic doors while giving them a little "Force push" a la Qui-Gon Jinn?"
I ALWAYS DO THAT!
I believe I say Obi-wan's "You must understand this!" in a British accent all the time.
Also, for a short time after AOTC, whenever I played any sport involving a racket (raquetball, pickleball, badminton) I had to use two rackets, ala Anakin against Dooku.
I have told everyone I know that I am their father, and they always reply "NOOOO!"
Also, anything the right length automatically becomes a Lightsaber.
For a short period of time, I called everybody "my young apprentice" in that really scratchy Emperor Palpatine voice, and still do occasionally.
Man, I really am a nerd
