You realize your tights are see-thru and you're not wearing underwear.

you arrive at the obvious/only reasonable belay area (multipitch) at the EXACT same time as another leader and you both want to just to get off belay and get your second on...

you let them go first to find out theyve got 4 in their party and 3 are brand new to multi-pitch so youll be "hanging" out with them for longer than youd ever had imagined or desired.

when your new climbing partner gets frustrated with the tangle in the rope while belaying you 40 ft up and decides to un-clip and walk away...
