Your inanimate objects you love to hate and even 'assault'

[Accy cyclist]

This has to be the most famous assault on an inanimate object!

Do you punch, kick, throw across the room etc objects that aren't living, but have annoyed you immensely? My favourite object I assault is my walking stick. I have a few in fact, but a certain one keeps falling over, knocking other stuff over like dog food bowls, ornaments and even my laptop the other day. I know it's not 'normal' but when such incidents happen I do tend to shout at my walking stick(s) and even punch them! The other day through my own fault I tripped while using a walking stick, causing me to throw it down my stairs to teach it a lesson. Electrical items that've conked out have felt my wrath! Am I alone in these acts of irrational behaviour?!

My “state of the art” Dyson pet vacuum.
Rubbish suction and staying power even on permanent charge.
Better with a pan and brush!

The cables on vacuum cleaners do my head in! I trip over mine, get it tangled and it always seems to run out of length, just stopping me reaching that certain stuff on the floor I just have to hoover up!!!

I have hurled more than one printer down the garden in my time. And a vacuum cleaner once.

As I post I can't find a loaf of bread I bought yesterday. I'm going to have to look in my car boot, which will take me about 5 minutes to get there and back. If it's not there and I then come back to find it in my flat I'm gonna have to teach it a lesson!!

Yes. Yes you are.

On the other hand my searching for that loaf has made me find a salad I bought yesterday, at the back of my fridge, so I might let the loaf off a beating as it's hiding from me made me find the salad I forgot I had.🤔

Every cloud eh? 😂

I might have done something slightly similar when I called Alexa a name once.

Trying to get it to set a timer for the third time left me a bit exasperated and on the last attempt I might have added one extra word to the end of my instructions, as was proven twenty minutes later when Alexa announced, 'this is your knobhead timer.' 🤣

Wireless printers are the work of the devil.
Constantly dropping off connection and eating ink.

The loaf was indeed in my car boot!!🧐 Not only that, but on looking in my boot for it I found a bottle of beer that must've fallen out my shopping bag as the same time as the loaf, so the 'hiding' loaf has done me two not just one favours!

You should buy a lottery ticket next week. 😂

How about taps that turn the wrong way ?

OK lever taps I can cope with, but normal handled taps that turn in opposite directions are intensely frustrating. For me this is doubly frustrating as an occasional SCUBA diver one of the key skills is turning taps off behind your head so muscle memory for this sort of thing is crucial

I hated my boomerang, so much, I threw it away.

I've still got it.

My laptop when it was running Windows 10. I installed Ubuntu in the end.
