POLL: Do you talk to your computer?

[AreaCode707]

And if yes, what do you say to it?

 

[pyonir]

my roommate talks to himself all the time...sometimes it annoys the hell out of me. i answered no.

 

[minendo]

I don't have a computer.

If there's an unexpected, illogical answer to be had it's bound to come from you or yakko.

[zayened]

i call computers that i put together "stupid" and "fckin POS" when i can't get it to work the way it's supposed to

 

[BornStar]

I only yell at it when it's not doing anything and it doesn't respond when I try to open something. I don't carry on conversations or have an intimate relationship like some people here probably do.

 

[nihil]

i talk to myself while i'm doing hardcore troubleshooting. like if something is really fvcked up i'll sit there and walk it through my head. i usually feel as if talking to the computer makes me feel better and calms me down too.

 

[Bulk Beef]

Yes, mostly long, incoherent strings of colorful expletives.

 

[Electrode]

I did at one point, but then I reformatted and forgot to back up the voice recognition app I was using.

 

[Viper GTS]

On occasion.

Usually something like:

MotherF***ER!

Viper GTS

 

[Czar]

yes, I say stuff like "stupid pos junk" or worse when the computer crashes every 5 minutes when I'm playing dungeon siege

 

[Hammer]

ok HotChic, now you're scaring me.

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

I occasionally mumble you piece of @#(*& to it but otherwise no

 

[BigGuy32]

Sometimes I talk to my computer but the comments usually involve the phrase "fckin pos" or something to that effect.

 

[ThaGrandCow]

I voted no, but if the question was "do you say long strings of explecitives to your computer when it crashes and you lose 2 hours of work" then I would have said yes.

 

[eplebnista]

No, because the CIA has a direct line through my computer and they'll hear my secrets

 

[Cerebus451]

Talk to, no. I've yelled and screamed at my computer quite often. Usually in reference to some component not working, or while playing a game. There's a reason I never have visitors at my door (I am the neighborhood raving lunatic).

 

[kami]

<< Yes, and it talks back >>


Me: Stupid piece of sh*t!!!!
Computer: Windows has encountered an error, and will now shut down.

 

[CedarTeeth135]

I don't think my computer will appreciate me answering the thread. (It's our little secret)

 

[DnetMHZ]

does blurting out strings of obscenities count?

Ditto!

 

[Maleficus]

STUPID POS MACHINE! other then that, no.

 

[Stiler]

Sometimes, when it messes up. My old computer when it messed up i got psychial with it, that made the hard drive crash now i don't do that no more.

 

[Beau]

Yes, but what i say to it is not appropriate for these forums.
