Inanimate objects you feel sorry for

[YouWerePrettyIWasLonely]

I always feel bad for the unpopular pots in the drawer that only get used maybe twice a year.

Anything that has been trapped in a drawer so is partly hanging out where it wont shut.

I feel sorry for the shoes I wore once that hurt my feet but were too late to take back to the shop. They just sit there......hopeful.

If I see a single shoe on the side of the road (a surprisingly common occurrence!) I feel sorry for it. It's not what it signed up for!

The bottles of AstraZeneca going unused after giving people fatal blood clots...

Toilet brushes

One glove. Not only is it lost but its partner is now useless too.

The mugs on the back row of the shelf.

The cuddly toys that DD abandons when she gets a new one.

Chained up bikes that have fallen over or been neglected.

My sons much loved stuffed monkey. It looks like it's necks been broken. I've bought more stuffing to refliff him but haven't done it yet.

Oh thank god I'm not the only weirdo who gives objects feelings. When dc were little I would rotate the toys on the shelf so they all got a chance at the front.

The iron. Unused for ages and must feel unloved. I did a shirt last week and haven't put it away yet (iron I mean) so it can have a bit of a break from being in the cupboard

If I have to throw inanimate objects away I feel terribly guilty! Ridiculous isn't it !!

Alexa

She literally takes abuse all day and she remains calm, rational and dignified, always.

The plant we tried to transplant last year, most of which died. But there was a tiny branch that limped on and had a few leaves this spring, but the rest of it was so dead it looked awful. So we had to dig it up, despite trying so hard to stay alive 🙁

Seeing natural flowers growing in the wild & then within a few days of there bloom they've been trampled for social media pics, truly brings a tear to me eye.

I remember when I was young and growing to be a young tween (so wise) I lined up my favourite soft toys and gave them a grown up talking to about how I might not be playing with them so much now but it didn't mean I didn't love them just as much and they should look to playing amongst themselves more.

I remember doing it clearly. I hope they appreciated it.

Sex dolls

I feel sorry for my beloved car which has got me through blizzards, good times and bad times he's never let me down.... he's been sat there for months now and I do apologise every time I walk past

All my jazzy kitchen appliances that get used once then moved to the back of the cupboard for ever more. All the equally jazzy electrical hair gadgets I bought as lockdown stretched on and my hair got longer and longer, but sit generally unused as I default back to my ghds…

The last baked bean in the tin that you spot when the rest are all heated up.

Dd and I take photos of odd shoes and send them to each other.
It's from a 1D song.
"Walking round with just one shoe, I'm half a heart without you"
Naf I know, but we've done it for years.

For me it's vegetables. If I'm cutting cherry tomatoes to go in a salad, I arrange a tea towel to cover those who haven't been cut up yet, so they don't have to "see" what's in store for them. I'm sure they can sense it, though.

Unloved bikes with filthy/rusty chains.
Lost children's toys that you sometimes see propped up on walls etc hoping that their owner will return and find them.

Trees when a car crashes into them.

Neglected toys, Pixar certainly knew what they knew they were doing when they made all the Toy Story films
