I was gonna word it as “flip off” but I think that might’ve been confusing.
My answer would generally be a few times a week for various reasons.
I middle finger many objects (and a few people) throughout the day.
When YouTube flips to a loud ad and I’m too slow to the mute button, I for sure tell the TV to fuck off and give it the finger.
For sure a few times a week.
lol this is almost my exact reason for posting this…
Install SmartTube if your TV / streaming device supports it. It comes with adblock and sponsorblock.
lol, watching ads
I work in IT…i would be a millionair for every time i did it in the last 5 years. Because somehow its always the same. I finish something and it works. Then come back the next day and it suddenly no longer works!
I have to use Windows 11, New Outlook and Excel for work, so… frequently.
… never?? is this something people do, first time i’m hearing of it
I don’t think I’ve flipped the bird since grade school. It feels really juvenile and awkward for me. I do swear a lot though.
Never. I can control my emotions against an inanimate object.
???
In IT it’s a requirement to flip off machinery that refuses to work. It’s therapeutic and only offends clankers.
It’s not. Source: sys admin lol
More like Cis admin you poser
That’s a joke I’d expect a user to make.
Flipped off my Mac two days ago and texted it to a friend who shares my annoyance with forced updates
Mac doesn’t do forced updates. You definitely accepted to pop-up to update.
Yeah I think there was a pop the day before to update now, tonight, to remind me later, or to skip. Just kidding, no skip.
Yup exactly. If you pick the right option, you’ll never have to wait for an update again.
At least every week
Rarely, and never to the machine itself, but some asshole who shows up.
I don’t get mad at machines. That’s like getting mad at a fork for not being a spoon.
I usually just mutter “fuckin’ piece of shit” but sometimes I yell that.
never. Im not much of a middle finger guy.
zero times.
Usually never… I did a tablet last night.
Been doing a network change, have setup multiple vLAN’s and WiFi SSID’s that connect to specific vLAN’s. This tablet is still connected to the same AP and SSID but kept saying it couldn’t authenticate. It was powered down during the switch and rebooted a couple times. Put in the password again and still couldn’t authenticate… after 3 tries finally got pissed, gave the tablet the finger, and walked away.
It was connected and working fine this morning, go figure.
Will probably be pissed at it again when I make a bunch of firewall rule changes today.
I proposed a long time ago a mandatory “fuck you” button for all software…
I worked in steel shops and we would always walk by each other and be like "hey mike"and already have the middle finger up. Drop something? Flip it off. Welder stops mid weld because someone flipped your breaker? Flip off the welder and the guy. etc. All day every day. I miss those fuckers.
