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.

    Flipped off my Mac two days ago and texted it to a friend who shares my annoyance with forced updates

    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.

    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!

    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 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.

    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.
