Random peeve

(I have those too, though I try not to boast about it)

If a ghost is the spirit of a deceased person, then it does not live anywhere. It resides, dwells, or possibly haunts a place but - and this is somewhat inherent in the definition of the words "ghost" and "live" - it does not live anywhere.

However, knives and shirts and sheets all do live in their respective drawers or cabinets or closets. No, I will not justify this.

I am the queen of personifying inanimate objects. The other day when I was fixing the printer at work for one of my coworkers, I did a few things, and then asked the printer, "How are you doing?" My coworker answered as if I was asking her, and I had to awkwardly tell her I wasn't asking her, but then to be polite I did ask how she was doing.

I always judge people who berate their tech when it fails them but never praise it when it doesn't.

I talk to the elevator at work every day. I call him Otis and thank him for every ride. If he isn't working right I blame the people who are supposed to take care of him and give him my sympathy for not feeling well.
