My niece was walking towards my CDs, on Sunday when my sister brought her over to my parents place, for a visit. Everybody was able to see me cringe, before their eyes. :lol:

Absolutely! Especially if it's a novel or not even their own book!

I occasionally do scribble comments in the margins of my own non-fiction books if the author has made a particluarily stupid mistake or comment. It's not mature, but it does make me feel better (plus if it ever gets sold/donated second-hand, the new reader has the correct data at hand).

I hate it when people are deliberately cruel to toys or objects. I mean, a toddler chewing teddy's ear, that's fine, but a teenager who's anthropomorphising it, whilst pretending to eviscerate it- that does upset me. It's stupid I know; people tell me it's just a lump of plastic, but hey, everyone else is just bone and protein.

I think this may be linked to aspergers. if you have aspergers, you have to learn to differentiate emotionally between object and animal, and sometimes the borders can get confused (like an optical hallucination).

I'm sure some go with the view that all things they encounter are objects and treat people the same way, but I like to think most err on the nicer side and just turn objects into people too, and thus get upset when everything is harmed (especially if it looks like an animal and is being made talk or move by the perpetrator).

I agree. I hate it when I check out a book from the Library and it is dog eared and highlighted and such.

Makes me shudder.

My knives, my books, my bokken, my swords, my chair.

I let my dad borrow my new tv(we had a break in, and they took two tvs, mine and the one downstairs, but I bought another right away, I'm so devastated that they took many of my things, and the way they treated my dvd), and I went down last night, and saw that it was on, with everyone upstairs and no one watching it. It made me so mad. I was thinking 'how dare they treat it that way!'. I'm going to have a little chat with him when he gets home from work.

Also when my mom was testing my dvd to see if it worked right, she took one of the movies, and held it wrong. I only touch the discs on the edges. I was like 'don't treat Don Ramon that way!'.

Same with all my stuff. I love and take good care of my things. To me, it's like, almost as if they have feelings. I know it's stupid, but it's how I feel.

I have a Fangoria magazine collection and a roleplaying game collection that I will most likely go to prison over if someone stole or destroyed. Without hesitation. :twisted:
