do you have an object that you talk to?

fuzzywuzzy · Post by **fuzzywuzzy** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 2:02 am

do you talk to your kettle to "hurry up" first thing in the morning? or do you have an object in your home that you comment to or talk to on a regular basis?

a statue in the hall maybe, that you greet when you come home ?

there is a place I know of where the occupyers of a house talk to their manicons (spelling?) dress them up for winter and summer . and basically talk to them when they are down or had an argument with the other person they live with .

there are others who greet things in their home as a practice.

I have a fluffy dog on my bed ( I sleep alone these days ) that I generally say "goodnight" to....can't help it His big black eyes stare at me when I turn over to go to sleep.....so I say "goodnight" never named him .

You mean an inanimate object? Well, him indoors is inanimate quite often, but I try not to view him as an object, and do sometimes speak to him. Though of course he's not actually here right now, as he's gadding about riding trains in the outback... damned chair, why the heck does your back keep falling off... you're pushing your luck.. keep that up and you're on the scrap heap, mate and I'm off to get a new one.. capeesh?!!

NO, don't think I do...

I am quite likely to say "thank you" to an ATM (although I'm mildly irritated by the machine's bad manners when it says "do you want.." and suchlike). Sometimes, I'm rude to my computer.

I went to a totally different credit union branch yesterday, to take out my summer money. I went in and there was a row of 3 ATMs and no people. While I was looking around, one screen came on, and this lady appeared on it and asked if I needed help. Boy, that was scarey. I'm thinking-what on earth is going on! The teller was somewhere in the back! I'll be prepared next summer for shenanigans like that!

Hubby and I just returned from a long trip and we have one of those little devices that show you directions to your destination...........I forget what they are called right now. GPS? The device has a female voice and sometimes, when our location is not on the data chip, she will say, "Take a U-turn if possible." There was a period of time when this continued for several miles. I laughed, and told "her" we were going to stop the truck andI was going to take "her" out of the truck and "bitch-slap" her along side of the road 'cause she was getting on our nerves. :wah: Well, the device recalculated our route("she" must have had a coffee-break and refreshed herself ) and the GPS worked fine again.

Well, it talks to me, why shouldn't I answer it back? And my tv turns itself on when it wants me to watch something. It used to tell me who was calling on the phone too, but it stopped doing that, when the phone started.

I talk to some of my golf clubs when I am playing, particularly the ones that require a bit of touch and feel, like wedges. Damn things don't always listen though.

I understand talking to them, even naming them something like "Roger" or "garry"

BUT FEELING THEM UP? :-2

That's funny, I talk to my clubs also! I really give them a piece of my mind, expecially when that darn club hits the ball in the wrong direction! :wah::D:p

I empathise Nomie....... I can truely understand the attachment one can find with inanimate objects...... why, i was only say to a tin of tuna the other day how the fridge seems to be ignoring me lately. At that point my coffee mug joined in and i left the room who continued to discuss me long after i was gone with the mirror.

Mutley · Post by **Mutley** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 4:23 am

I have thought about this and realised that I talk to most items in the house! I say good morning to the plants and the water feature in the garden as well (they all have names too including the water feature

)

Other half has just reminded me that I always say hello to the forecourt of the garage I bought my last car at..................(I call it the truck shop and as I love my truck I feel it's only polite to say hello to the shop!)

Laptop gets the most amount of conversation but the microwave gets a lot of swearing at (not working properly) and so does the oven (again it is not working properly)

I think I see the men in the white coats arriving to take me away now...............:wah:

Yes, I have many mirrors in the house just so the 'mirror mirror' one has some partial disagreement to add variety to conversation. I find you have to arbitrate regually or they band together to talk of starting a Union. The taps were in direct conflict with the mirrors last week over who was taking up more room in the house. I'm afraid the mirrors won and elected 'loung mirror' as their shop streward. However, the rumble from the bed linen is that a coup seems imminent.

I got a telegram from your Gordie this morning Oscar advising that your house had gone on strike and locked you out. I believe he's offered you a seat in his House. But the seat is moaning a bit - it's a solidarity thing.
