10 Things That Happen When You Date A Doctor Who Fan

7. Doctor Who Merchandise Is Displayed In Every Last Corner Of The Home

Ughgiveme Zps4a2627792 Gif It's not only the shelves that are at risk of becoming hostages to the cause of displaying Doctor Who memorabilia. Let's be honest, it's pretty much every last square inch of the home. But be fair, it's not the fan's fault. When Doctor Who Magazine gives away such great posters, it's almost a crime not to frame them and hang them on every wall. Right next to the cast member autographs. And honestly, who wouldn't want a life size inflatable Dalek in the entrance hallway?! And Dalek ornaments on the Christmas tree. And Dalek-shaped eggcups. And Doctor Who calendars hanging on the fridge. And thousands of other things. Actually, the ever growing tidal wave of merchandise isn't going to be halted at the front door, it's going to spread out into the world, too. Expect K-9-shaped air fresheners in the car and a whole plethora of Doctor Who toys at the office. Desks exist purely as spaces to store remote controlled Daleks and TARDIS-shaped USB hubs that go "Vworp vworp", right?
