On appliances greeting me...

Postby RICoder » Dec 5, 2005 @ 9:14pm

Perhaps it is just today or my mood...but I realized that almost every electronic component in my house now greets me when I turn it on. Sometimes it is "Hello" sometimes it is "Welcome to <insert technology> World!"

Seriously, does my tv or coffee pot need to say hello to me?

This is insanely sad, but my toaster came pre-programmed with clips from One Foot in the Grave.

No, I've never seen that, I've never seen anyone drive their garbage out to the curb and bang the hell out of it with a stick. No, I've never seen that.

Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

My doors sigh with delight whenever I open them, usually saying something about how great it was to open for me..

How awful..
