Do you talk to inanimate objects?

My favourite curse to all inanimate objects and people,FFS

Ditto. Covers all calamities, frustrations and situations, especially when muttered under one's breath.

Good to know I’m not the only one! I’ve just been upstairs to get my phone and asked it why it can’t just stay where I’d left it for once in its life !
Whiff ?

I apologise to my houseplants if I knock against them or if I haven't watered them enough. It's just polite, surely?

When the oven timer goes off, "yes, yes, I heard you the first time"
"Thank you" to Alexa when she gives me a reminder.

I swear at inanimate objects when I drop them or they don't work properly

Me too

My wife always says to the gas ring, “I thought I’d turned you off!”

All the time and the bonus ? I get the last word.

Oh yes, the microwave beeps again if you don't open the door and I tell it I heard it the first time and talk lots to my car - do husbands count???

Isn't it good to know you're not the only one.

All the time. I dropped my walking stick in a shop the other day and said to it you dam thing why are you always on the floor. A woman looked at me and said are you talking to your walking stick and proudly said yes. That floored her I think she thought I would be embarrassed. Then I informed her I talk to anything and anyone including my dead husband everyday. Don't think she expected that. I have talked my husband everyday since he died 18 years ago. I am not a dotty old lady I am 64 but was widowed when I was 45.

There have been times in my life if I didn't speak to myself or an object I wouldn't talk all day. Legacy of being a shy ,clever,fat child who fell a lot because I had problems with my limbs and was bullied from when I started school until I was 16.

I remember,when cash machines first arrived outside banks,getting money out one day and I automatically said thank you to it. Nobody close by thank goodness. I regularly shout and swear at the smoke alarm in the dining room which goes off constantly even if making a bit of toast in the kitchen. One day, when I was a bit anxious and stressed I actually physically attacked it with a feather duster. I'm not a violent woman,and don't approve of physical punishment, but it was a very therapeutic act.

I apologize to flowers that get their heads cut off by mistake while deadheading!

Frequently. And I apologise to things, too, especially if I'm using a number of things and one isn't needed and is therefore 'left out' !

All the time - although I'm not normally as friendly as you seem to be!

i've just been 'talking' to my w/machine, not nicely, good job I'm on my own!

And just now , ‘ yes thank you I know you’ve finished , can’t you just wait ‘ to my washing machine , that plays an annoying little tune when it’s finished!

That'r me too ? I hate naggy machines

Yep! I always thank the washing machine, microwave, toaster or whatever when it beeps.
I keep up a running monologue with the car as I'm driving along. I try to keep it inside my head when there are passengers though!
