Talking to things that can't answer back.

[Hazell B]

Do you ever find yourself telling an object to do something, when you know full well it hasn't got ears?

I congratulate my vehicle if it ever manages to overtake another, for example. I ask the dogs if they've enjoyed whatever disgusting thing they've just eaten, even though they're not going to answer.

Yesterday I could hear my partner in a stable trying to hold a conversation with a new, frightened pony we've bought. He was chatting away to the timid little thing while trying to clean it's feet and I was biting my lip trying not to laugh outside.

This morning a lone man walked past my gate and said "Oh, you're all covered in ice" to something in the street

When was the last time you shouted "C'mon you feckless ****!" at something inanimate?

Sadly, I do this alot! I pretty much scream bloody murder at my poor computer who I have a love/hate relationship with. I have been known to talk to my fish ... do they have ears!?... nevertheless I know they won't answer back.

I do this alot as well : especially at the computer when it decides to be slow or crash on me, i also talk to my car and my cat - though my cat does sometimes answer back.
Does talking to myself count?







Wait a minute I'm not inanimate object

I talk to the dog more than is healthy, and I do yell at my car's lack of appreciable accelleration sometimes. Other than that, I think I'm pretty sane...

I keep shouting at my computer too..while playing games usually, and sometimes when I'm browsing or working and there's a long delay. Apart from that I think I'm alright..except when I'm talking to the walls while studying :

Neither is your cat (I hope) or Hazell's dogs and pony.

Hazell, just because your dogs don't answer doesn't mean they can't. They just don't want to answer a stupid question. Of course they had enjoyed it, why else would they have eaten it. Duh.

I talk to my cat when she jumps on my bed in the mornings.

I do scream at the tv during races, when a driver has done something wonderful, or incredibly stupid.

I occasionally talk to the car --- not sure why.

I'm so damned tired of raking leaves, I've been asking the trees if they are through shedding. My husband thinks I'm a bit off.

I'm pretty sure by now my computer has managed to pick up every swear word I know...

Guilty as Charged.
I do this way too often.
But I only notice I have done it, after I have done It!!!
