Inanimate things that speak to you

Do things that need your attention speak to you? At my house and work they all do. Dirty dishes in the sink, say put me in the dishwasher, everytime I go near them, the cloths that need folding yell fold me. But it's the ones that don't talk that get me in touble. Like the car that forgets to tell me it's running low on gas or needs the tires checked. Other things don't need to speak, like the dinner in the oven or the alarm clock. How's your life, quite and boring or do you get conversations from things around you? Think you don't hear anything well, heres a test, women, how about those shoes in the store or that chocolate bar? Men, how about playboy, or that new car? Come on I know you can hear them.
