resistentialism (ri-zis-TEN-shul-iz-um) n.
The theory that inanimate objects demonstrate hostile behavior toward us.

Coined by humorist Paul Jennings as a blend of the Latin res (thing) + French resister (to resist) + existentialism (a branch of philosophy).

Ummmm, yeah. About those TPS reports...
