Which inanimate object....

[TyrannasaurusJex]

....makes you scream with frustration?

Computer is the obvious answer but for me it's the MOTHERFUCKUNG HOOVER.
It seems to deliberately get stuck on corners, fall over it's own wire and then smirk at me with its STUPID FACE (guess you can tell the make!).
I know it's irrational but maybe it's a cathartic outlet??
So tell me - what inanimate object would you like to punch, metaphorically?

🤣 exactly the same here. My DH still uses Henry but I refuse 😊

Omg im reading through this thread like yep I agree with it all cling film, printers etc. I'm currently about to throw alexa out a top floor window for not connecting to my tv.

He's so bloody heavy and clattery, and his hose extension bit drops off. Henry, that is, not dh

Printers ,self checkouts

Packets which you’re meant to be able to peel open from a corner so you can reseal them, but they won’t budge - if you can even get a grip on the tiny amount of plastic.

I can help with the pasta sauce jars at least! Have a look at your tin opener - there are little sticky out hooked bits on the sides and you can hook under the lid and prise it off (I'm not sure if this is what they're meant for, but it works). If course if you're one of those poncy sods with an electric opener you'll just have to get the butler to do it.

Can openers. We have a busted old one that works a bit and a fancy new one that doesn't work at all.

I accidentally set mine on fire (vacuuming near a woodburner) and he's still going strong. They still work if they've fallen over so I just leave mine on its side to teach it a lesson.

I will add my vote to printers. Never mind working and not working, mine gives me snarky little messages. It tells me I didn't turn it off properly but does not provide any information on what should be done other than press the on/off button ffs. The message annoys me so much, I look away as I turn it on so it doesn't get the satisfaction.

Clingfilm is my Kryptonite. My other annoyance is my phone. If you hold it the way everyone holds their phone in their hand it is almost impossible to lock it without muting it at the same time so I miss calls/notifications.

this is it. He doesn't even TRY.

oooo self-checkouts are a good one. I like to think i generally hold it together but I have definitely made some insane noises in Asda after the 7th "unidentified item in packing area"
