Do you have a "short fuse" with inanimate objects?

Can uncooperative inanimate objects irritate you easily?

Yes. It's like some inanimate things are alive and put up a struggle against me. Also I become furious with anything i bang my shin or stub my toe on. One day I'm going to violently murder the coffee table.

Sometimes they annoy me, usually it's when they are not working the way they are supposed/designed to work. Like when my phone starts freezing or responding like I clicked on things I did NOT click on.

I get annoyed when my computer acts up on me.

Yep....It's really a friggin' pain in the butt!

I can't tell you how many times I've had to restrain the urge to tear the damned puter out by the wires and hurl it out the back window, or take a sledgehammer to the infernally balky thing. then I remind myself that it is not my poor puter's fault that it runs like crap but is part of designed obsolescence on the part of bill gates and company, to try to force me to pony up a small fortune for a new and improved puter which will become balky in just a few months, ad infinitum.

Do commercials count as inanimate objects?

political ads?

No, not really.

Absolutely, at times.

I once punched out the motherboard of a VCR for failing to comply. It was dumpstered immediately.

Since many autists invent "social" connections with inanimate objects, it is unusual for me to do that. But, I did and still do when needed. Most of the time, I am angry with how NTs design furniture, appliances and even civil engineering.

Why aren't utility-service holes located on or near the sidewalks where traffic is unimpeded, and the workers are safer? I mean, humanity has experienced the engineering everyone loathes for what ... four or five centuries?!?

Awwwwwww.... I would hug puter and forgive it then I think there'd be a bit fewer puters moldering in landfills and recycling places if they put that sign on puters when they bug up.
