You nasty old, bad word, disgusting piece of so and so, you.

Hey, I dont curse my computer very often. Actually i update it time to time and if it starts getting slow i understand that its time to replace it. Cheers, Tutul

Yeah I do it some time but I used to do it alot when it wouldnt work or I hit the wrong button. It is funny.

- Oh yes, I have said some pretty wild and angry things to my computer. It's a good job it's not a real person, or I reckon it was have stopped working for me years ago. I try to be careful now and shout at the software and not so much the machine, as that can be reinstalled if it decides to stop talking to me! - Derek

ah nothing new in me telling the computer what i think of it. especially when it wants to move the curser somewhere else while i'm typing or the internet is really slow, plus what ever else is going wrong. i think we all do it to everything when we get frustrated with it all.

I remember doing that at work and my friend Lee would tell me she never had those problems and "you have to stroke it". Worked for her anyway...

I am always yelling at my computer. God i hate windows! Macs will rule the world.

I do try to keep my temper, after all, about half the problems are caused by me! But there are times when it really is the computer's problem and ticks me off!

Nope it's not only you who gets frustrated in front of the computer and yells at it....thank goodness the only one to hear me are my two cats, since the words I often use would make a truck driver blush

Oh, no! I yell at the computer, the keyboard, the people on a website I am using, I yell at everything. I really swear at the people that I am playing poker with online

Hi Hatley, You are not alone, I do that all the time and my laptop laughs at me and I have to keep tell it to shut up, yes my laptop laughs at me, several people have heard it while I have been on the phone to them and it laughs, so I tell it shut up, lol! Tamara

Hello HAtley, much as I hate the computer it bores me too much to feel an emotion worth expressing towards it. Does this count instead, my language turns a shade blue when I'm stuck behind a tourist driver on the mountain road, it's a kind of non agressive road rage, I'm not ever going to step out of my car and confront a person but I sure take it out behind the confines of my steering wheel.

Hi Hatley, well i think a lot of people do it... i get frustrated at times when my computer hangs and i do yell some bla bla but then hehe it still doesn't reply me, i just can't take it, i guess i am so addicted to computers and internet!

[b]Hello my friend I am sure there are plenty people who do this, I don't only because there is usually a reason why these things happen, so I sweet talk my baby and say things like please don't do this to me lol and eventually things work out, I tend to treat my computer the way I treated my car, I love them so much so I try not to make them feel bad lol, this is just my way Smoochesss my friend.[/b]

No. "YOU 'PINK PONYING' PIECE OF 'POO'" is what i consider a classic line in a computer sitz like that. (Version rated PG 13 for the kids...)

It's not the computer Hatley...it's my car. She's a lovely little girl and I punish her dreadfully sometimes on rough roads and driving through flood waters like I did the day before yesterday. I pat her on the dash board and tell her how wonderful she is and how lucky I am to have her for my car...

Good morning Hatley, believe u are not the only one that does that. I am always giving mine a good going over. Makes me feel better anyway.

I'm not convinced that it's inanimate, although I know it's a machine. My computer gets called lots of name, my current favorite is "you stupid jerk". The reason that I question whether it's inanimate is because it tends to get worse perportionately with the names I'm calling it. If I turn it off in disgust and go do something else, another member of the family will sit down and have NO problems at all! My computer is vindictive and has a long memory...lol.

you're not alone on this one.. I think a lot of people talk to their computers, or their cellphones, specially if they're not functioning right.. My pet name for my netbook is "you stupid piece of sh*t".. LOL. Specially when it hangs for no apparent reasons. hahaha. sometimes I ask them ( or it ),"what's the hell is wrong?" or "what the hell is bothering you now?".. notice that I don't use soothing language when talking to them. hahahah.

Hello My Dear Friend Hatley How are you doing today? LOL..Oh yes I talk to my computer all the time...My famous words to it is..What are you doing"..Like it really is going to answer me...LOL..I think if some body was ever to walk by my place they would think that I was upset with someone in here...LOL.. Cute discussion, and I enjoyed reading and responding to it. Have a great day Hatley and keep smiling my friend..

Hi Hatley, seems we are sharing some discussions this week doesn't it? But, yes, I tell call my computer all kinds of bad names LOL I know it is only a piece of equipment but it is/has become a big part of ME and I tell it off ever so often and sadly, it doesn't talk back LOL
