Do you talk to your computer, too?
So I have this ACER laptop, that is pretty hip, made a few bad ass upgrades, and primarily use it for work. When I start it up I have a little menu option that allows me to choose which operating system that I want to use...well, sometimes I'll hit the wrong key (ooops, I'm clumsy), but I'll catch myself screaming at it F3! F3! while I desperately try to hit the F3 key in time - so that I don't have to go back and reboot. I hate rebooting...it's a gross expense of my time - seriously. I sometimes worry, too, at work that my co-workers hear me cussing my computer. Typically, it's my own mistakes, but I'll whisper under my breath, 'SHIT' or 'son-of-a-bitch!' Of course, there are those times that I pound my fists on my desk and say 'DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO!'. And days that Illustrator loads so blessedly slow I just can't help but grind my teeth and say 'HURRY (the fuck) UP!' while trying to restrain my fury. Sometimes I threaten to sell her on ebay PIECE BY PIECE or throw her out the fucking window. I tell her how inferior she is to the MAC (which I know is really hurtful) but she needs to know that she better straighten up and act right or she'll be replaced!

I can just hear you saying... JANKY-ASS PIECE OF SHIT!
I talk/yell/scream/curse to my piece of crap... er... computer all the time. There is NO GREATER FRUSTRATION than when the technology of a computer DOES NOT do what you tell it to. GODDAMNIT.
