Do you ever say "excuse me" to furniture or inanimate objects?

[undeterred]

[Ptah]

1. It sounds more like "get the f**k out of my way."

[SPKrazy]

2. No its usually

ouch, dammit, grrrr :grr:

[Crazy Dave]

3. No...I make up excuses

"The chair was in my way", "The hall is too narrow", "That tree branch hit me", etc.

[some guy]

4. does 'sorry' count?

I apologize to my car sometimes - like when I fail to avoid a pothole that is deeper than I expected.

:hi:

5. "Pardonnez-moi" "Je suis desole" -- I'm practicing French in anticipation of our European trip.

I have said it to the side of a car.

Also to an empty cart in the supermarket. I also usually say it when I'm closed in a women's room stall and making a BIG doo-doo -- and they haven't got any air freshener anywhere within reach.

Sometimes I give it a Steve Martin twist if I'm really angry "Well, EXXXCCCUUUUUSSSSEEEE MMMEEEEE."

6. No, but I do say, "Stay" and other things to them.

Sometimes, it must look like I am having a cantankerous, contemptuous conversation with inanimate objects.

7. Occasionally.

Why? Is that strange? I don't want my furniture to hold grudges.

13. I think its overly polite.

But maybe its just a good habit.

8. I bumped into a mannequin once

and said excuse me. I laughed at myself after that!

[ccinamon]

9. Sometimes!

Ususally happens on "klutz" days and I've spent a good share of time apologizing to co-workers for nearly running them over or bumping into them ....I have a tendency to "barge" when I'm in a hurry/under pressure to complete an assignment.

10. Yep.

Old habit from childhood when I believed they were alive.
I am weeeeeeeeird.

[Zoigal]

11. No, but

i often say "thank you" or "excuse me" to our dogs.

[Skittles]

12. need an ass-kicking, undeterred?

I am fairly certain you do

[RedCappedBandit]

14. When i'm home alone

I talk to myself, and everything else I come into contact with.

[Breeze54]

15. I used to but then I got glasses!

@@ :rofl: Seriously!

I used to say excuse me to cement lamp posts and walk right into full length mirrors.

But that was in 4th grade ... now I don't say excuse me at all. :sarcasm: :P
