Not quite, but I have been known to curse at computers or other devices that keep throwing nonsense or otherwise troublesome errors…

“Quit bitching at me motherfucker!”

The final solution was often locating and replacing a faulty capacitor or 5…

I haven’t personally, but I’ve seen my husband apologize to an ATM before

What did he do to the ATM to feel the need to apologize?

It was a long time ago so my memory is hazy, but I want to say he just got a card read error.

No but Im very short with the self checkout.

Yeah! I stepped backwards onto what I thought was someone’s foot, apologised, but it turned out it was actually the prong of a swivel chair.

I apologize all the time to my car. Sorry for the ziptie I used to hold up the debris shield, sorry I gunned on that lug instead of spec torquing it, sorry I didn’t clean up that dog hair quicker.

But I do put oil in you every 3-4k miles and make sure your parts are replaced when they need to be. I care for you tho, I treat you right where it matters. Just last one more year, don’t you go dying on me.

Undershields are the worst designed pieces of shit. I usually leave them off because they just break. And removing it and getting a ton of dirt in my eyes every time I need to work on something isnt worth it

All the time

Yes, of course.

My robot vacuum when I get in its way. It’s working hard, it shouldn’t have to deal with my shit.

I’ve done more cursing and bitching than I do an apology to objects I use.

I was once running on very little sleep and said thank you to a self service checkout

Many times, it’s just automatic sometimes when I bump into something.
