Last time I walked into a Sears department store, there were these big stickers on the doors: "hi" and "come in" as I walked in, and "bye" and "thanks" as I walked out. It was kinda cute, especially with the lower-case lettering. I was mildly impressed. Mobil gas stations thank you for choosing them, but Citgo stations do not. I prefer friendly to impersonal ... up to a point.
I often talk to my stuff...but I never really expect it to talk back. It kinda creeps me out. The one that REALLY got me was my old TV (which is now my sister's TV). If you put the sleep timer on it...JUST before it turns off, a ten second timer comes up...as it counts down to 5 another message pops up "Good night."
