Not my computer! If I verbally abused my computer, it would say what, Nully?????

Oh I get it, this article is to get us to quit cussing at the NSA; its not about the computer.

A long time ago I used to own a Compaq desktop computer. It would upset me with its frequent stops and crashes, which got me into the habit of smacking it when it would do so. One day, I smacked it, and I heard something from within fall, and the computer was finally dead.

Now I use, primarily, laptops, and none give me the kind of trouble that desktop did. So, I don’t abuse my computers anymore.

Are liberals going to create a special victim status for computers now?

I treat my computer better than a jihadist treats his wife but not as good as he treats his camel...

The only time I have a PC-related urge to kill is when I have a specific PC problem I need help with, and a poofter shows up and helps by saying, "GET A (insert name of fruit here)!!

The only time.
Machines are inanimate objects, and normally behave neutrally.
The immature nut jobs?
Not so much.

Anytime a picture of Obama or that fat bitch Moochelle show up on my computer you can bet your ass I hit my computer!

(I began hitting them after replacing the computers I shot became too expensive.)

Here’s how I feel about my Apple mini mac..

Now the libs are standing up against verbal abuse of computers.

I found that posting a profanity laden memo on Facebook does more to get my message across to the programmers responsible for #@CKing up what formerly worked on that site than shouting out loud. I also get the pleasure of seeing others agree that the changes suck and cause them browser problems as well.

Like politicians, computers need to be threatened from time to time.

In my lifetime I have body slammed two laptops and one blackberry, much to the detriment of my wallet.

[BunnySlippers]

I like my computer.

Heck...you should hear what people say to Siri.

If I would have been aboard the spaceship in the movie “2001 - A Space Odyssey”, the movie would have been only 45 minutes long. As soon as “HAL” started acting up, I would have beat the hell out of him.

I just usually call mine a miserable POS and move on. Unfortunately, it usually doesn’t help.

I’ve worked with computers for years, and everyone knows that if you want your computer to keep working for you, you’ve got to keep a good pimp hand.

I admit that on at least one occasion I ripped the power cord out of the back of a computer that had been extremely uncooperative.

It was very satisfying until I realized that I had destroyed the hard drive.

[Fzob]

Just wait.

All the computers out there are cataloging the abuse for the day they become self aware.

Then......

Retribution. :)

[Georgia Girl 2]

Guilty as charged on the verbal abuse. LOL!!
