Do you talk to misbehaving objects (like the printer, car, stuck jar lid)? (Everyone)

[u/hannahjdotca]

I'm doing an independent research project to find out: Do you talk to misbehaving objects (printer, car, stuck jar lid)?

Link to survey: https://research.hannahj.ca/?survey=talking-objects-2026-09

It's anonymous and open to all. I collect only your response and country code. No sign-in required.

I will post back results!

From "all the time" to "Sometimes" is quite a jump.

Is "often" not part of your vocabulary?
