Print Thread
OP This may confirm what many of you have probably suspected of me, but I'm going to go ahead anyway. When my printer is running--esp. if it's printing something fairly long--my mind often tries to form the sounds it makes into words, or near-words. [gulp] Does anybody else do this, or am I just...NO, I do NOT think my printer is talking! Certainly not to me, anyway! It varies the sounds it makes, but an example is when it repeats a kind of extended whine followed by a ker-chunk, it can sound almost like it's saying hurree-up, hurree-up.
Is this anthropomorphizing, or just me being weird in yet another unique way?
