Do you swear at yours
 

Its ben stated that office workers swear at their computers at least four tmes a day. this makes them the most stressful thing to deal with at work. Staff hate them more thn rude colleagues, deadlines, or mounting workloads. this is according to

CartridgeMonkey.com

Personally I don't work in an office or anything like that, but I still find tme to swear at my laptop four times every hour never mind each day:rolleyes:

I described myself as a luddite when I had to use a computer at work.
This was due to the draconian way they were set up to ensure security and constant use.

A plastic ID card had to be inserted to identify the user. If you lost one or left one in a machine they brought in the Spanish Inquisition. The only way to ensure you never did that , was to have the card on a long chain round your neck -
so you were in effect chained to the thing when using it.

The bleep----- which was a warning of imminent 'time out'. There was never time to lean back and have a serious look at what was on the screen, because it was set to expect the keyboard to be in use constantly. It beeped if you didn't - then threw you off the system soon after -- Spanish Inquisition called in again.

I got a pc of my own a few years after retirement and remember telling my ex boss that I wasn't a reincarnated Luddite after all -- because I had got one that doesn't bleep at me.

I never swear at mine, it's way too much effort.

Though I do get sulky, and fall out of love with it, when it's not working properly.

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

No, never, though I think it might swear at me sometimes when I'm not looking!

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

I think you have a 'PB' instead of a PC
does it whisper 'silly cow'? :D

lol thing is - you cant get sacked for swearing at a PC because it wont make a complaint against you - your colleagues -even the rude ones most likely will

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

Of course I swear at my computer ... I swear at everything mechanical or electrical ... makes them work harder ...

Re: Do you swear at yours

I have used 'percussive maintenance'...that doesn't work either.

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

you're all on the wrong OS, I never have to swear at Linux :D

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

Probably true entwisi, this thing makes me swear. It's sooo slow, freezes, sticks, stops working altogether. Needs windows reinstalling so I'll blame them not the pc.

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

Try using a larger hammer ... maybe a lumberjack's maul;) "I'm a lumberjack .... etc.:dancedog:

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

I never swear at my computer - computers are fantastic. Unlike women, you can turn them off when you like, they generally do what you tell them to do and they dont mind if you play with other computers.

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

Yeah all the time!
It is forever disconnecting from the internet and crashing.
My Fiance got so frustrated with it one night he pushed the moniter on the floor but luckily it didn't break!
He also broke the mouse when it wouldn't work,thought it was a dodgy connection with the wire,fiddled about with it and pulled the wire out and snapped it!
Damn P.C's!

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

Every 30 second.

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

I only swear at my printer, though I swore at my laptop the other day when it just went off, and I was a bit worried as to why and then I realised that I had turned off the power supply instead of my amplifier, so the power had just ran out and the laptop forgot to mention it to me :p

Printer tends to get sworn at every time I use it though.

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

Nope! But then I don’t talk to inanimate objects.

It’s a bad worker who blames his tools.

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

Everybody swears at inanimate objects even if you don't realise it!
It's one of life's little quirks!

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

So I study hard for days and days writing an essay, and I come to printing it and the printer jams, I swear and all of a sudden I'm a bad worker? I'd happily swear at the idiot who invented my inefficient tool but I certainly can't kick him :( so I might as well be nice and just kick my printer :p

Re: Do you swear at yours
 

All the time, the mouse usually flies through the air along with lots of swear words.

Re: Do you swear at yours

iv just stubbed me toe!!!!!!!!!!
