Wayne does it in Bands of Mourning. I don't quite remember his logic, but knowing Wayne I am sure that it didn't make much sense.

I know you're a serious Sanderfan when you get really random and obscure references without having just barely read the book or that part of it.

Are you one, @Nameless? What about you, @Mage?

When you read a YA book that doesn't take itself too seriously praise fish sticks and get genuinely really confused for a moment. 

[Flaming Coinshot he/him]

When you are prone to ten-hour bouts of crying because there are no new books out. *cries*

Definitely. I have the kind of memory that seizes on the random little details, and then forgets about them, but when someone like Nameless sparks my memory it all comes back to me. (Maybe I am secretly a copper ferring)

Also, I think Wayne's logic for putting the juice in the canteen was to keep his body guessing so it wouldn't get too complacent with alcohol.

[Flaming Coinshot he/him]

I..um..have had some...difficulty in acquiring the different series, so I haven't been able to get Dusk, Skyward, Shadows for Silence, and I haven't finished Alcatraz. 

[Mage he/him]

YKYASFW You work on a big assignment all day, not making any progress, then finally finish it and turn it in less than an hour before it is due, and the scene from RoW --where Kaladin catches Lirin right before he hits the ground, and they have a whole discussion about cutting it close and surgically precise timing--is the first thing that comes to mind.

I apologize for the length and odd specificity of that one.

[Shard of Reading he/him]

YKYASFW your having a discussion in English and you compare something you’re talking about to the Cosmere and end up talking about the practical applications of Allomancy and it takes you a good 5-7 minutes to get back on topic.

I can tie with it  

When meeting up with Sharders all week is one of the best things you've done all summer. 

When reading Dragonsteel Prime is another of those best things. 

And when you're sad you can't go to JordanCon. Next year... 

'Twas very fun. Yeah.........3 months later...oops

It was awesome meeting up with y'all. 

When you meet up with Sharders.

When you get excited when people let you ramble about the Cosmere

When your phone auto capitalizes Cosmere.

When you get excited because all 3 of your hotel roommates know about Brandon Sanderson. 

When you suggest Alcatraz for someone who reads the last pages of books. 

When you get excited when people recognize your Sandershirts.

[#1 Taln Fan he/him]

When you tease your female friends for wearing fingerless gloves because its revealing.

When you are angry at someone and you try to summon your shardblade.

[Frustration]

When you seen a sanderson book in someone's house and immedietly start grilling them to find out if they are on the shard.

[Quivil]

When part of a Chemistry assignment reminds you of Cadmium Ferrings. (The part in question asked what each individual could do to decrease personal carbon dioxide output other than breathing less.)

[#1 Taln Fan he/him]

YKYASFW you steal your neighbor’s aluminum foil because it’s so valuable.

[NameIess]

YKYASFW the first thing you want to program is a bot that helps you look for Sanderson quotes.

[Morningtide she/her]

YKYASFW you are disappointed to change seats in school before you realize that you are now sitting by two people who are also both sanderfans. Cue the incessant talking and getting absolutely no work done.

Also when you meet someone who is also a sanderfan and instantly start trying to impress them with your knowledge of modern relative theory and cosmere theology.

Also when someone asks what your favorite religion is and your mind immediately goes to either Vorinism or Survivorism

YKYASFW you and your two sanderfan friends spend all the time not spent discussing Sanderson trying to convince the fourth guy sitting behind you to read Sanderson.

[NameIess]

YKYASFWY get to be team four in your biology class while wearing your bridge four sweatshirt, and you get the best prize.

[Ms. Dragon she/her]

YKYASFWY start using Sanderson curses, subconsciously.

[NameIess]

YKYASFWY put Sanderson references in your college essay.

Cosmere curses are better than IRL curses.

[+Doomstick he/him]
