Do you ever talk to your car like its a human?

I know lots of people in the uk do.
I don't mean like full blown conversations like "How was your day Mr. BMW?"....but like...encouragement or whatever?

I did today...i passed the point where my cambelt snapped the other week on the motorway and said "Now lets try this again Car!".....Oh how we did laugh....

Oh and before i forget here is the token

mostly just "wat the fuck u peice of shit!"

thsi belongs in political debate and discussion.

i work delivery
so naturally, i go crazy throughout the night
i probably talk / plead with traffic lights more though

Lol, i point my finger at the traffic lights and say "CHANGE!" all the time!...... Oh how i wish i was Sabrina the Teenage witch!

last year we bought an 1993 buick regal and we named her "auntie carol" and we took her on our honeymoon. Whenever the car started acting up we would say things like "come on auntie carol!" or "atta girl auntie carol".

there u go.

i dont really talk to it. but i do talk to graves if im walking through a graveyard.

just like "hope youre dooing well, mrs butterworth "

to my car... just "you suck" or "shut the hell up" at that noise it makes when i open the door

People who do that are just weird. Talking to your cat or dog is different but to a car..... must be a guy thing and if chics do it to then well.......

Cars, traffic signs, computers, ATMs, vending machines... it's a common phenomenom: I do it all the time myself (except with computers), and I remember reading an article about how Germans used to greet ATMs when they withdraw money, for example. I remember I one time I told a vending machine to stop spitting tin cans, as I didn't want that much soda. Naturally, the vending machine didn't find my words convincing, and kept spitting

One reason behind it is that machines are quite recent, and we're used to talking to others in order to express our thoughts and desires, so we end up extending this feeling to machines as well. Another reason behind it is the same as talking to one's self or making dumb rhetorical questions: it's a cognitive process, a way of talking to your own consciousness.

But with the way technology is going, voice activation will become more common plase as we get lazier and lazier... thats what i believe...But your second theory also makes sense...i mean, alot of people read out loud when reading instructions as this helps you to understand what your doing...and gives you confidence. So maybe thats why...Interesting.

my car IS a human...oooooooooooo

I say 'come on baby, lets go for a ride' when I start my car.

I do believe in that too - that's how we've interected with others during all this time. Body language would be a following step.

I speak with my car. She acts differently based on the weather and the duration of time since my last oil change. I pat the dashboard too, sometimes.

Considering I live in Charlotte, NC rated as one of the worst places for traffic as of late (in the USA), I spend more time cussing out idiotic drivers who don't know how to push the gas pedal instead of the brake.

And traffic lights.

So lights and other drivers are who I talk to.

Road rage is such a wonderful thing.

I believe that ya treat ya car right, it treats you right.

Ok buddy, but your the odd one out...bet it feels scary out there...all alone! *wooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!!*

I've never talked to my car, but most of the time I'm talking to the cars in front of me when they're not going fast enough. Dunno why
