Clonk said we should have this one, and it's a good idea - at least some of us play pretty often.

Nethack rule number something-thingy:
If you are doing exceptionally well, prepare for a horrible, stupid, uncalled for death.

Sort of like the "Get suspicious if it's too good to be true" rule IRL.

You have played too much NetHack, if you...
[spoiler]
-have a constant fear of ruining your conduct and alignment
-kick sinks in real life. Nerd!
-wonder why you haven't gained a single experience level during the last few years
-have a paranoid fear of cursed items
-wonder why the world is no dungeon
-are looking for stairs leading down all the time
-think that kicking doors will rather hurt you than kicking thin air
-think that the penalty for shoplifting is death
-wonder where the ticker has gone
-'kill' lichens to eat them and wonder why they don't attack you
-think that you can make a rabid rat friendly with tripe
-think that your expensive camera exists solely for the purpose of disturbing enemies
-fear eyeballs, but think that eating them is a good idea
-enter a church during a service, drop your stuff on an altar and wonder why the B/U/C status isn't identified
-think that you can kick any door if there is no "closed for inventory" written in the dust before
-like to eat newts
-wonder why you can see yourself while mounted on a horse
-wonder where all the wands and scrolls have gone
-think that murder is a crime, but genocide is not
-think that a good shop doesn't necessarily tell you what it sells
-think that after death, you get informed about your score, conduct and equipment

BTW: Is it recommendable to have a floating eye pet if you 1. can heal it and 2. have a magic whistle?

Nah. Lots of enemies can resist it and since it can't kill anything it will never level up.
