Vocabulary: Resistentialism

[ysabetwordsmith]

Resistentialism:

"seemingly spiteful behavior manifested by inanimate objects", where objects that cause problems (like lost keys, printers, or a runaway bouncy ball) are said to exhibit a high degree of malice toward humans. The theory posits a war being fought between humans and inanimate objects, and all the little annoyances that objects cause throughout the day are battles between the two.

There is a maintenance emergency number but last time I tried to use it nobody answered the phone. They're not very smart. I could go into their screwups at some length but I don't feel up to it.

They'll figure out why that's stupid if the keys fell into a gear and the elevator quits working. Fuckwits.

You could always keep a list, in the event you need a record of their nonsense (or alternately, in case you ever need a series of "So you wouldn't believe this happened, but-" stories to entertain people with.)
