Teaspoons have a life of their own https://www.newscientist.com/letter/mg18925420-900-where-teaspoons-go/

Pens are another thing, although that is often down to pen thieves

My whole house used to troll me...Im a big 6ft 5 inches and when if I was wearing boots, the top of my head would catch on the upper doorframes if I was in a hurry and momentarily forgot to duck slightly...knocked meself out cold a few times and this was back in the day when I had some...anger issues...

Forget the gym and the biking, gimme a sledgehammer and a few walls that need to be re educated...ye thats good fer anger issues but no, the house trolled me again when I got tore into a supporting wall one morning and by lunchtime Id managed to make sure the house was unsafe fer human habitation.

In the end I had to have a half tonne steel brace set into the place where my back kitchen wall used to be. It was houses plan all along...what a way to get a far more expensive facelift when the original plan was a few nips and tucks here and there to make the doorways higher.

+1 for giving a good laugh!
I see some of me in these vengeful bursts.

But I'm much smaller & keep my sledgehammer in the toolshed, so far my tally is lots of bruised knuckles & couple of replaced cupboard and bedroom doors & plaster badges on the walls.

I keep a heavyweight crowbar handy to threaten my house.
It's...well actually I can't find it again.

Show it a photo of your ex-chair to ensure years of gaming happiness.

Ye talk to yer chair?

Wow...and I thought I was weird cos I only talk to meself...but talking to yer chair? Yer not sharing my cell ye can bunk up with Harry...hes the one sitting in the corner rocking and chewing the curtains ^

Edit...ok so there was that time when my doctor changed my pain meds and gave me lyrica instead of gabapentin...oh man ye wanna see what happens to yer brain when ye double up the dosage, cant believe this is actually legal cos its stronger than some class A stuff and 100% legal. I may have had an in depth discussion with my cat about not trying to get into the fish tank, and that was before lunchtime...

My doctor trolled me cos he said there wouldnt be any side effects...he lied...there were major life altering side effects. Shows ye how much doctors think they know, they not happy killing my wife now they trying to kill me too ^

Ha ha ha : "No side effects from Lyrica" !
That is some class A trolling right there! Of course it sort of counts, as the pills are technically inanimate, right?

I remember being trolled by a scalpel during an amputation.
I was holding up the leg with both hands, for the operator to get down to the bone. He rested the knife on the fat belly, and reached back to get the saw. Well the bloodstained scalpel began to tilt slowly, and then slide gradually off, picking up speed, towards me. That never ends well, and you can't really dodge while holding the leg up.

It fell off the table, and I used one hand to reflexively catch it below eye level. It made a chuk sound, and everybody in the theatre froze.
"Let me see" said the chief, with trepidation.

I reluctantly held up the impaled gloved hand, which had been crucified. The handle stuck out at right angles.

Trolled by objects with no apparent intelligence? It is more convenient to have something to blame, especially if you can accuse it of evil intentions, like a human (who is more often than not just a scapegoat as well in similar situations).

It is interesting that there are all the time new stories or thought experiments of alien or artificial intelligences that could subjugate or destroy humanity. I suspect a need to feeling clever and prepaired for a time this might be suddenly relevant, while gradually getting used to the comfortable features of these so called intelligent devices and services. The most probable thing I see happening is that humanity will be even more stratified (which is a failure of humanity and not some evil intelligence with a plan).
