Do you yell at your computer?

I usually yell at my husband. Okay, I yell FOR him. He's the computer expert and, as long as he's around, he'll usually come a-running to fix whatever problem I'm having. But, back in the day when I was on my own, yep, I yelled at my computer plenty! I try to be fair and always say "Thank you!" when it works properly, though. We shouldn't forget to praise for a job well-done as much as we rant and rave when things aren't going so well. Have you ever noticed that it seems sometimes as though our computers intentionally like to mess with our heads?

hehe i tried yelling at my computer, but didn't helped me, hehe so i just tapped my computer and say "please cooperate, i wont sell you to the junk shop", then it runs smoothly again.. hehehe i think i just need a registry fix to solve that problem...

Dear friend, I had not yet yelled but I do feel bit sad when something wrong or unpleasant is got from my computer.

I don't yell at it, but I curse. You don't want to hear what I say to it, I can be really mad at it sometimes Have a nice day

thats kinda like saying do you yell at your tv? if your favorite team is playing badly and you yell at the tv do you think they can hear you? not sure if i ever yelled at the computer but i have gotten frustrated dealing with the computer at times. if you are playing something on the computer and you mess up you might get mad but is it really the computers fault?

I not just yell, i smack it in the head(a little tap on the side of the monitor), a kick in the ribs(i.e the tower under my desk)..just to justify my impatience..

Every once in awhile if it is messing up I will yell at it. Not that it does any good at all, but it helps me get my frustrations with it out.

Not really yell but say the F word out of nowhere if i am so in a hurry and my computer isnt cooperating with the rush..

I constantly do when I refill my ink cartridge and the computer is having probs recognizing I replaced a cartridge, or when i am trying to load something, or anything in general..... I love to yell at something that cannot yell back...electornic wise I should emphasize this point LOL

Never! I used to get angry at my system, that's before I took a course in computer maintenance and installation. I now do everything myself and I understand my computer completely, we have a great relationship! I think it's a good thing if you can do your own fixing and so forth. I understand though that there are times when something is happening and you seem to be getting nowhere fast. Andrew

Yeah I start cursing as well and banging the mouse. I can't stand it when the pc gets slower or stalls, this happens mostly with my pc at work.

No im not yelling at my computer. Yelling at computer does not make any sense, try to be patient.

I yell and beat on my computer. I mean really, sure it can't respond but yelling at people or beating on people is very very very bad. So yeah if my computer decides to be dumb and I've had a bad day I'll take it out on it. After all it's an it, I'm not going to hurt anyone's feelings or have any consequences from treating my computer badly, and even if the worst happens and it breaks, well it can be replaced.
