Ever been trolled by an inanimate object?

[Crazy_Dude]

I used to always shut down my computer with the power button. But my cousin said that is could be very bad for my computer. Got a few bluescreens a few hours later and thought it was broken. But suddenly it could correctly reboot.

I just was.

My laptop fan stopped working a few days ago, and after an extensive talk with support at HP, they said they'd send out a package for me to ship my computer back to them for repairs. Not even an hour ago, I received that package, and realized the last thing I had to do was remove my Windows login password. After I had done that, I started to shut down the computer and set it down, then heard a motor lurch, something rattle, and then after a few seconds I heard the soft blow of my laptop fan coming from the computer right as it shut down. Right as it was going in the box.

Trolled. Hard.

HP laptops are apparently notorious for being poorly-designed, I learned that the hard way.

The ventilation system on mine stopped functioning after only a year. Guess that counts as "Trolled".

My father checked his phone was in his pocket, and put it back.
It rang, he went to his pocket. It wasn't there.

He looked everywhere, it wasn't there.
He looked back in the pocket, it was there.
Derp.

Well, for about a year I had a laptop that started dying in its last months. It would lag maybe every 5-10 minutes to where trying to open MS Paint would take a full minute or longer, and it was impossible to play any game (when I first had it it could run UT04 at a solid framerate).

So in August, one of my friends got a gaming laptop and sold me their old desktop.

I spent two nights trying to get it to start at all. It would keep crashing while I was trying to install Windows, and when it would install all the way it just wouldn't go any further, and after some research and experimenting, I got it to work by doing some shit with the motherboard's battery.

It started up, I transferred all my files, and as soon as I sat down to do things with it, the motherboard and processor melted.

i was playing rounders (cross between baseball and cricket) once in p.e and i went to pick up the ball that was right in front of me and for some reason i reached too far down to go pick it up and broke my thumb.

it was really annoying because rounders is one of the sports im best at

Mainly cords that I have in my pocket, such as earplugs for my iPod. I swear they are not inanimate, because they seem to move unnaturally much. Obviously in a bad way, getting all tangled up.

My Freesat (satellite TV) box likes to turn itself on and open the menu at about 3AM. Then I get up to turn it off and it goes off by itself. And the bathroom mirror in my house has lights around it which like to turn on by themselves.

You should check your tv settings, could very well be that it has a scheduled sync timer set at 3 AM. My computer had that with windows update, waking it up from Sleep mode in the middle of the night.

Thanks. I keep meaning to check the settings and you've just reminded me to do so

Stairs, and doors always get me, DAMN THEM!
I don't know why I keep tripping on every staircase I ever step on, the glass doors always get me and there's always that door that says push when you need pull, damn that stupid door!
Also fences, they always appear out of nowhere when I'm driving, seriously where do they come from?!
[sub] It's totally the fence's fault I swear I'm never di- oooooooh pretty butterfly![/sub]

I've turned on the radio at morning once and Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up was on.

What a start of a day, Rickrolled by a machine.

My ipod.

I had to sleep in a garden shed one night (long story) and was scared shitless - I had some my little pony vids that could distract me for the night, but when I turned on my ipod it was blank.

I gave up on it and a couple of months later I needed to use it as a storage device and somehow all my songs/vids were on it again.

(I switched computers, my new laptop didn't have anything on it at the time so it did not synch back or anything)

My last AVR kept on making a clicking sound, and my current AVR keeps on making a high-pitched whining sound whenever I turn on the CPU too quickly. Needless to say, it took great restraint to resist the temptation of reducing both to scrap metal using my arnis stick.

Thank God I bought a laptop for Christmas, though.

The only thing I will say here is USB cables.

If you possess more than one USB cable, drive, ANYTHING, or have to switch anything like that out even occasionally, then you know what I'm talking about.

I hear you.

I would have to say my internet browser. What's that? You want to open up another tab? WELL TOO DAMN BAD!!!!

 

[SextusMaximus]

My chair at work is in cahoots with the door handles. My sleeves keep getting caught on the latter and the former just spins around as and when it wishes to.

Also this.

Oh you cheeky guy!

Might need a new picture though, cause the YT layout has changed

Once, by my motorcycle... I was going out and when I wanted to go home at around 3 in the morning, the damn thing would not start. I tried for half an hour and it wouldn't work. So I call my brother to pick me up and he brings the truck so we can take the motorcycle home with us.

We start loading it up after trying one more time to start it. Whilste loading, two cops pull up. They think we are trying to steal the bike. I said: no, it's mine but it won't start. Here look. I try and start it... And it starts.

I was standing there stunned at first and then yelling: you dirty MOFO!

It's funny afterwards but then I was really pissed off
