A very good friend of mine drove, in one stint, from Orlando, FL to Manchester, NH (approx 30 hours). At about Connecticut, the passenger seat started squeaking uncontrollably and he started yelling at it. It was hilarious!!!

When it comes to losing a game the yes, it is normal when yelling at the tv or even my computer. Just not random things like a lamp...

I do all sorts of talking to inanimate objects. Normally I try and cox them in a soothing voice to work, calling them "baby" and such. I think that creeps people out more than when I yell at and insult them.

I think its totally normal. When the seatbelt locks up right when you pull it, your phone, the tv, football and basketball teams, etc.

We've been 'screaming at the TV' for decades, and we're all normal human beings,... *(Except for maybe an occasional snack too many and not shutting the thing off before we fall off to sleep,... Snore!)

It's not a coincidence that "mad" and "insane" are synonymous. It's really not that difficult to reduce our anger and associated behaviors. The evidence that yelling and swearing are cathartic is pretty weak and these behaviors serve little purpose.

I may get upset at my computer or something but I never actually scream at it. I might think it but screaming at things like a tv or computer or whatever doesn't do any good.

Well in my life, everyone yells at something. When I was little my dad yelled at a red light calling it a "red whore". He also yells at his gps calling it a bitch because its a female voice giving him the wrong directions. I even yell at inanimate objects so....it IS normal. Lol. (:

Your relationship with inanimate objects is really your relationship with yourself. Being impatient with them is really being impatient with yourself. If your anger causes you to break an object, what you have actually done is attacked yourself. Being patient and treating your possessions with care is being kind to yourself.

Only the inanimate objects that cause my irritation. Computers, cell phones... the TV.
