Poll: Yelling at inaminate objects?

[wewontdie11]

Yes. My Dad deserves it though.

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

i yell at my mouse mat...
its not a team player

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

I whisper death threats to my Game Consoles.

ALL THE TIME.

Yelling only sometimes though, mostly when I play Mario Kart, DAMN YOU BLUE SHELLS!

I WILL KILL YOU INVENTOR OF THE BLUE SHELL!

Seriously, that doesn't help the guy who fired the blue shell, it just wrecks you when you try to get 3 star ratings.

 

[ErGo]

I don't really yell at my computer, that would be kinda awkward ... I do swear at it though.

 

[wtfmuffins]

i threw the controller at the tv once

 

[Hellion25]

I do this allllll the time. I shouted at my couch yesterday because I moonwalked into it. Bastard thing shouldn't have been in the way during my own personal MJ tribute.

 

[Connor Lonske]

I killed 2 controllers, and threw a Game Cube out a window.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

I yell at "The Game" Doesn't matter which game. Just "The Game".

 

[Connor Lonske]

Yes. My Dad deserves it though.

Hahahah, that cold.

 

[x434343]

I once threw down my XBox controller.

My PC loves me, but wishes I don't yell when I play Left 4 Dead.

If my monitor was a living being and people knew what it had gone through, they would shun me as an outcast and send the thing to a psychiatrist for extensive therapy, probably lasting at least a decade or two, if not for the rest of its life.

I say that if you don't yell at inaminate objects you are not human, my opinion at least. But if you do, what is the oddest one you've shouted at, and why?

Intentional stance, my friend. "Our people detectors" are a little overzealous, so we think inanimate objects around us have intent. If you're interested in the phenomenon, check out Breaking The Spell by Daniel Dennett.

All the time at my TV (when playing Madden)

 

[BakaSmurf]

My socks, for not getting on my feet.

 

[VitalSigns]

I can't think of something I don't yell at.

 

[chefassassin2]

I yell at my grill almost every day, my freezer and walkin-cooler doors are scared of me, and I can get my ovens working again practically just by staring hard at them. And on a regular basis, I yell at food that's taking too long to cook. And I yell at my prep cook hourly, as he has a habit of becoming inanimate if he has nothing to do.

 

[MusicalFreedom]

nope. I don't yell at all, ever. come to think of it, I don't make that much noise at all any more, I don't even know

 

[DarkFenix]

I work in a grocery store part time (meat section) and I am constantly yelling at the meat when customers ask for stuff not present on the shelf and I have to go to the back to try and find some.

Also when a stack of product falls over I am forever cursing it to no end even though the stack of deli meats clearly didn't just decide to fall over of their own free will....The roasts clearly coaxed them to do it...damn roasts.

 

[Grahwo]

I yell at my computer, my TV, call my Xbox names. Swear and curse machines and stuff that breaks down at work. Also thingies that "hurts me" gets its round with the angry yells.

It helps!

I cannot stress this enough... Never, ever, under any circumstances, trust the roasts. They'll sell your grandmother if they got the chance. Sneaky little bastards are probably watching me now, deciding when they'll topple the tower of zucchini in my cooler.
