Ever been trolled by an inanimate object?

[TheTygerfire]

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.

My car does that all the time.

Cold winter morning
Goes to crank car
Won't turn over, keeps sputtering
Angrily get out of car, open hood, freeze to death
Get back in car to stay warm, call for advice
Car starts fine

Jerkass car.

My keyring is an epic level rogue/shadowdancer with max ranks in Hide and Move Silently, and it's constantly abusing Hide in Plain Sight.

The fact that my moblie phone (Sony Erisson) date reset back to the year 2000 every now and then is quite annoying (but not enough to get it fix) since I wonder why my latest text message had dissapear.

Anything in existence that is heavy and is impossible to get a firm grip on.

After moving furniture to rid my house of a Christmas tree, I have a current gripe with couches. Fuck them.

My iPod Touch clock has a bad habit of going back in the 70s. Whenever the Youtube app doesn't work correctly, that's how I know it's not working right.

Cinema 4D by Maxon is either a troll or designed by trolls. When a technical challenge arises while I'm making an animation, I can usually think of somewhere between 3 and 5 tools in C4D that ought to solve the problem with little or no configuration needed. Almost invariably, all of those turn out to have limitations in key areas that cause the tool to almost do what I need, but be completely unsuitable for the purpose. Many of these are omissions of features or options that would have been obvious things to include, and are missing in favor of other, less clearly useful options. And if there is a tool with exactly the features I need, it usually turns out to have bizarre behavior. Googling this usually leads to the discovery that the behavior is due to a bug that Maxon has acknowledged but won't fix.

C4D has fractally poor quality: No matter how many flaws you find, and how extensive your library of workarounds becomes, each day spent with the program uncovers about the same amount of new flaws as any day before it. And I bought it in 2006.

If you watched me during the course of my workdays when I use this program extensively, you'd probably conclude that I was losing or had lost my sanity. I always find myself, within a few hours, giving a Reason You Suck Speech to the monitor, as if I'm trying to make the program feel bad enough about itself to commit suicide or something. When I'm away from the computer I know this is pointless and somewhat crazy, but that doesn't stop it from happening every time.

My PS3 keep getting an error every time I turned it on so I took it back to Best Buy and it worked perfectly, when I plugged it in back home it got the error again

My keyboard.
Occasionally just refuses to work until i hit it hard enough.

My car sometimes. Set cruise control, look at road, look back down at speedo and i've dropped 10kph because the cruise control decided to trololol. Set it again and it works fine.

Also, Windows. All of Windows.

Recently when I bought a new TV and got a digital tv-box card for it.
Pushed the damn thing in as far as it seemed possible. No channels appeared. Waited a day to see if it was just slow, but still nothing. Decided to call the support and after like half an hour of solutions that didnt work he asked if I had pushed the card in all the way.
Went to the TV and pushed really hard.
*click*
All channels appearing.

yeah my bloody chair *exageration but basiclly the same thing*

 

[devotedsniper]

Got to be my car...damn thing had decided to destroy is clutch and headgasket in the same month, get it back after the head gaskets sorted, every things fine, go to go to uni and the EML light starts flashing at me, call the RAC out because i thought it needed towing only to have it stop pissing me about when i go to show him. The next day go to go to uni again only to have it overheat on me (well the dials claiming it), get out check pipes fine, start car and the temps are fine now... and finally at the end of the week i finally made it to uni, do my work go to go home only to have my fuel line pop of and spray petrol everywhere 5 miles down the road...put it back on 10 miles later it pops off again, ended up calling the RAC man again.

The car seems to be behaving itself now though, although it's MOT is Thursday probably will fail just to troll me more.

My internet connection and computer. The connection is down, but the computer says it's up, thus fucking my mind completely and making me wish for a small thermo-nuclear device as a way to treat my frustration.

I finally got a PS3 so I could play all those sexy exclusives. I grabbed R&C a Crack in Time, God of War III, and Uncharted. Beat the first two and Uncharted freezes on chapter four. The worst part is, Everytime I try to get past it, I get about two seconds further. Also there is not a single scratch on the disc >.<

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Windows decides sometimes it wants to play hide and seek and greys out a bunch of shit. Next time I log in it's fine, but while it's greyed out I can't find their registry values.

 

[Shockolate]

Currently, Skyrim for my PS3.

Keeps freezing during the tutorial. The disk looks perfectly fine, and the PS3 runs everything else fine.

Oh well. I guess I'll spend those hours wishing I had money for Demon+Dark Souls.

EDIT: Apparently, Skyrim on the PS3 was already an issue. HERP DERP.

This. I have had my house key attached to my car keys when I go to a friends house, only to get home and find out that I only have my car keys on me...

My phone is highly guilty of this too. I have picked up my wallet to check if my phone is underneath, then shifted everything on my desk, checked my laundry, living room, bathroom, car... Then when I ask my brother to call my phone, it goes off on my desk and I pick up my wallet and there it is...

 

[thespyisdead]

all the effin time: i have a set of 3 siblings, the oldest being 10 years younger than me, the youngest being 2. these siblings tend to leave their toys all around the house, so it's inevitable, that i step on on of them, or, when they are asleep, i stumble on one of them and make a shitload of noise.


having said that, these inanimate objects that are trolling me also leads to my siblings trolling me... a double troll

My pc turned on after 20-ish tries this morning, it kept giving me a message that some part is malfunctioning, but when i finally got it online everything works fine. Im afraid to turn it off. :|

 

[Blunderboy]

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.
