Haha....??? It’s an inanimate object?

Oh, lemongrove, you sound like that perky American teenager at the start of many a horror film. And we all know what happens next. tchshock

I’m squeezing my eyes tight shut now.

Well, I have a trusty paring knife that took unauthorised leave of absence for FOUR MONTHS before turning up innocently on the table!

I went out and bought a replacement and even that didn't make it turn for home.

Oh thank goodness!

I thought we were back to the “I haven’t been for 4days/2 months/since 1952 thread ???

On a similar same theme, my 2 grandson’s Elf on the Shelf got up to all sorts of tricks during December; he put a fishing rod and net on the coffee table, read up on how to fish, propped baby Jesus on the back of the donkey, climbed on top of the clock, knocked over Rudolph’s oats and worst of all, drank Santa’s whisky. I blame the SiL although the GS are convinced it was the 4” Elf wot dunnit. DD is delighted Christmas is over & he can go back in his box for another 11 months.

Year ago when I was a speech therapist 'Touch talker' devices were in their infancy. We were often startled to hear a miserable voice suddenly saying 'Battery is low now'. In an American accent. If I took one home to charge over night I'd often be woken by a triumphant voice loudly announcing 'Battery is full now'. Those were the days!

Can you put a photo of the sinister looking FC on here? I’m really curious about him now! ?

We do lots of things on autopilot mode.

I had a printer which would print a blank page all by itself in the middle of the night - even though it was switched off - which would wake me up.

Nobody believed me until a friend was staying and heard the same thing.

I was pleased when it broke down and I could replace it.

Get rid of Father Christmas! He can't be trusted!

I bought a Father Christmas shaped hand soap dispenser to use in the bathroom over the festive season, I have noticed that everytime I go into the bathroom it is turned to face the wall. My OH admitted that he was doing this because he thought it looked sinister! Of course I dismissed this appropriately - as you do! This morning, as usual went to use the bathroom after OH and as usual noticed FC facing the wall then carried out the tidying session always needed before I can use the bathroom, replacing towels etc. Had my shower then while drying off noticed that FC was now facing the right way and did indeed look very sinister! Now I know I probably replaced him while on auto pilot tidying mode but I dont remember doing it! It could just be approaching madness, but to be on the safe side I might put him away somewhere. Does anyone else have untrustworthy household items or is it just me?
