Anyone else make deals with home appliances?
I’ve struggled with this for years. I’m always making deals with inanimate objects or intangible things like time.
“If I don’t stop the microwave at exactly X time, something bad will happen”
“If I look at the pot of water on the stove and it’s not bubbling yet, something bad will happen”
“I can’t look at my Nespresso machine until it’s stopped making my espresso shot, otherwise something bad will happen”
It’s the most annoying and stupid thing I’ve ever come across. I realise I’m being absolutely irrational when I’m doing it but once the thought pops into my head, it’s manifested and I have to do it.
