    Do you do it?

    Ten minutes ago I was just about to tuck into a nice hot Pizza (bacon and pineapple) and as I reached for the box I heard myself saying 'C'mere you you cheeky monkey' :confused:

    Talking to a pizza? WTF?

    Y'all?

    I'm bad enough talking to myself without hitting on the toaster. I only swear at inanimate objects, the bastards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,459 ✭✭✭Chucken


    I constantly talk to inanimate objects..it makes me seem less demented than talking to myself :D

    Yeah I usually get a bit of sweetcorn instead but went with pineapple for a change and it was a bit hard so won't be doing it again until the next time I make the same mistake.

    If I bump into a table or a chair, I always apologize to it :o

    I had a chat with a Barbary Ape yesterday until he got bored and wandered off :(.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    I talk to my cat all the time.
    Fairly sure that's it.
    The tv - sometimes I'd talk to that actually - like "you stupid man, don't do it" and that kind of thing.

    Also, pineapple on pizza is imperative.
    It's also nice in club sandwiches :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    Just after a poo and before I flush I look down into the bowl and say "god speed lil fella".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭ArtyM


    I like to gather my kitchen appliances together from time to time for performance evals. Let them know what I expect from them and remind them of the consequences of disappointing me.
    Between you and me, the toaster is not going to like what I have to say on Monday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,459 ✭✭✭Chucken


    ...and what about if you clip your head/hand/leg on something and you let out an "OWWWWWWWWWWWW" like you've just had something amputated. :o

    I shushed a self checkout machine in Tesco yesterday, and then hoped nobody had heard me.

    But they're hardly going to hear me :p

    Technically yeah but your actually talking to the telly :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,389 ✭✭✭mattjack


    Mrs Mattjack and myself were out for a pint without the parasites kids recently , when just as I sat down , I heard a voice say 'howya'... I looked across from where we were sitting , about to say 'howya' back to this 'ol fella when he said 'grand thanks'.

    He was talking to his pint, he even winked at the fcukin' thing.

    I find myself talking a lot to golf balls but they're fairly thick, tbh, ......they never listen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭Vicar in a tutu


    Only when I hurt myself, as in stub my toe on the door etc! like today, I called it a fcuking bitch etc. asshole:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭Salt001


    Oh I do it all the time to kitchen appliances and pots and pans and plants and ironing and oh loads of stuff.
    Should I worry ??? :D.
    And I talk to the furry baby of course but she thinks I'm cracked in the head anyway. :D:D;)

    The dog, the cats, the car and I shout at my laptop all the time :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,081 ✭✭✭sheesh


    dogs cats and once a horse (it was huge!)

    fish, my car, the adobe flash player when it crashes - which it does all the time and for no good reason.

    My phone not to the people in the phone the phone itself

    non working pens, any item just out of reach

    my computer , locks


    why do you ask?:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 653 ✭✭✭girl in the striped socks


    I'm always chatting to the dog. Sometimes he answers back, other times he just sits there listening away. He's some dude.
    It can get awkward when Im out walking him & I forget myself & start chatting away or commenting on something. In fairness he takes it in his stride, he just rolls with it.
    Kinda difficult to embarrass him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I talk to my dog and cats daily, they always listen.

    I do this too when I'm out walking with the dog. I point out the cows and the sheep etc.
    Seriously folks sometimes I think I'm losing the plot :D

    Ah yes the moo moos & the wooly dogs. I do that too.
    I often bring him up to the gate so he can sniff noses with the moo moos. Fcuking hilarious so it is :)

    I do that as well, same with the B&q self service yoke - I catch myself telling it to feck off out loud - or feck you and your unexpected item. This may be interpreted as madness, but i'm convinced there's a female dwarf from milton keynes hidden in the box with a voice changer.

    We call the moo-moos the big dogs in our house, as in " can you see the big dogs over there? " :D

    they Tesco voice is quite sexy though, I reckon for that one they recruited a load of petite women with severe hairstyles wearing tight turtlenecks - strict but foxy.
