    Half asleep in the morning I have thanked the ticket machine in the Dart station more than once.

    Always gets a snigger from the person behind me in the que.

    There was an elevator back in Ireland that would always say in a sexy voice "Going down".... but she never did!

    I would have thanked her, that's about as close as I've gotten!

    im always thanking & apologising to things that arent real, just have manners drilled into me somehow so its automatic to say thanks & if im not paying attention ill thank the atm or the ticket machine or the button that opens the dart door or whatever :)

    Cursing at a machine is about as rational as thanking it tbh.

    I curse at the laptop a lot though.
