What was the last inanimate object you swore at?

    And what did you call it?

    Pighead went absolutely stone raving bananas with the lawnmower on Saturday afternoon. Its one of those lawnmowers were you pull the cord and the motor roars into action, or doesn't as was the case on Saturday.

    Threw a right tantrum at the fcuker and called it every name under the sun, including the C word (apologised to it later on, there was no need to throw out the C word.).

    Questioned its parentage and even called it fat and ugly at one stage. Waited a few seconds for a reaction, but nothing, which made Pighead even angrier. Then Mammy Pighead came out, asked what was wrong, pulled on the cord and Mr Smarmypants Lawnmower roared into action. Called Mam a smug bitch and stormed off into the sitting room muttering empty promises about never coming to visit the folks ever again.

    So what was the last inaminate object that caused you to go all Basil Fawlty?

    inanimate adj 1 without life; not living • inanimate objects. 2 dull; spiritless

    going by definition no.2 seems like a pretty good reason to swear at her!

    Listen here JohnnyGimpo, Pigheads mother has more life and spirit than you'll ever have. She's a diamond in the rough, where as you're a lump of dogs poo at the bottom of the garden.

    My laptop. There's so much wrong with it I wouldn't know where to start. Couldn't be arsed getting it looked at though...

    I roared a few profanities at my laptop this morning... stupid wan**r froze 3 times, I had a massive discussion with it about how i would be replacing it if it didn't get its act together... i think it worked!!!

    objects.

    Shower... The showers in the student Res here are more or less an open pipe, with a button to force the water out (which much be repressed every 30 seconds or so) and for the first 4 minutes of use the water is ice cold so, rather than being a pussy and standing outside heating it up for a while, passive has had to "man up" and deal with it... Unfortunately when one is very sleepy/otherwise in a weakened state, a sudden stream of angry cold water on your chest/back can lead to sudden bursts of ********c***b******b******sonofa*****argh****dammit****cuntcunt****! :o

    maybe you should have look in the dictionary instead. Then you might spell it correctly the next time.

    The lad makes a cracking point.

    guero Pighead takes back the harsh words he threw at you earlier. You're obviously a much smarter cat than Pighead gave you credit for. Time to correct the error and put this sorry mess behind us.

    Not only swearing at inanimate objects, but repressing them into the bargain. That's cold, man :D

    I spent yesterday doing some DIY... a shelf, a wall, a light-fitting, a screw-hook, a hacksaw and a paintbrush felt my wrath. "Prick****er" was my favoured term of endearment.

    The inanimate object which causes the worst reactions of anger and name calling has to be the sinister little pain giver that calls itself a Plug. There is no greater pain.

    This is why you should leave every plug left in in your house. Sod the enviromentalists.

    Mario Kart Wii, just after getting hit by the 3rd blue shell in a row. I used the full range of my extensive cursing vocabulary...


    ...and then had to apologise to my son who was sitting there with his mouth wide open in shock :(

    I really shouldn't play computer games when he's in the room.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Toasters are cunts as well. If ever you pass Pigheads kitchen and you look in and see him yelling at seemingly nobody you can be damn sure he's giving the thick dopey toaster a dressing down after its burnt yet another innocent piece of bread.

    chair legs are the worst when you catch your baby toe on one. the frustration of knowing it's not possible to cause the chair as much pain as you have been inflicted with, coupled by the knowledge that it's your fault and multiplied by the realisation that you have been swearing non-stop at a piece of wood for the past few minutes


  • Registered Users Posts: 232 ✭✭lemon_of_old


    The toaster that burnt my toast this morning.
    The knife that sliced my finger as I tried to butter said charcoal toast (probably not the best idea to use a steak knife for buttering)
    The coffee cup that didn't do its job right by keeping the coffee in the cup, aiming instead for all over me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord

    My lazy bastard of a TV does that too. A good punch will put manners on it. The computer is another one, I can't restart it, if it's turned off it won't turn back on for half an hour. I always blame inanimate object when ever anything goes wrong, stub my toe, doors fault. Over cook me food, ovens fault.

    I find it a great way of releasing tension. The only inanimate object I don't give out to is my beloved car. Everyone else on the road gets an earful but me and the car are in it together.

    Have to agree with that, hurts like mad and everyone else just laughs at you hopping round and cursing like a lunatic. :(

    You will be punished for this offence... Connard :P

    A friend of Pigheads has a fantastic manner with inanimate objects. If he's watching the telly and he's trying to change the telly with the remote but it won't work he doesn't get angry and stressed and threaten the remote with a crushing painful unforgiven death.

    No he talks calmly to the remote and lets it know exactly what the current state of play is. He'll say "Now I'm going to take out your batteries, give them a jiggle in my hand, put them back into you, give you a shake and then you are going to work" He says all this with a cool calm reassuring voice whilst petting it softly. AND IT ALWAYS WORKS. Fucker.

    The wireless modem. It has a habit of cutting itself off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    My parents' computer which my brother had ruined with World of bloody Warcraft.

    Then I shouted at my dad to give me back my laptop, but he's not an inanimate object.

    Butt or vaginal?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Pighead hopes that when the lady went away you went up to the locker and whispered threateningly at it "If you ever make a fool out of me again in front of a chick I'll rip off your cheap shitty aluminium door and throw it in the lake until it rusts to death"

    The f*cking cup of tea I was just drinking that decided to leak all down the front of my shirt, 7 minutes before a meeting with my manager :mad:

    Ooh yes! Nothing incurs my wrath more than one particular brand of vending machine which sometimes doesn't actually drop the item - instead, it gets stuck. But the machine still swallows up your money.

    That's just depressing. I once spent ages trying to get a bottle of Lucozade out of a vending machine and when I gave up someone came along and stole the bloody thing.
