    Really look at the person. Take a good look. Look at their complexion, their eyes, their hair, their weight, how tired the person is, how talkative or energetic the person is...Most of the time, the eyes betray the user...It's hard to definitely tell if someone is using, and it can be a touchy subject. Don't make jabs at them, though, like "you've been losing a late of weight, lately..." It just automatically puts the user on the defensive~

    smacking the lips and making dry mouth sound...like chewing air. hard to describe. they must be thirsty!

    stealing your stuff and holding it 'ransom'. (you never see it again, especially lingerie)

    truly believing that you are sleeping with the trashmen, gardeners, cable guy, boss, plumber, any guy who is near your car or work or house. aaaagh!!!!
