Which is sadder/scarier?

Which is worse?

That my go-to solution when technological things aren't working in my house is "thump it"?

Or that it tends to work?

Yes.
They are not equally scary; each is scarier than the other.

Neither seems either to me. My excuse explanation is that there's probably a loose connection or an accidental connection, and thumping the thing restores the original state of connectedness or lack thereof.

Or it's knocking out loose dust.

Nothing wrong with percussive maintenance.

Now, when you say thump it, are you wearing protection?

[jehanna.livejournal.com]

That does actually work way more often than it probably should.

Do you say, "Ayyy" after they start working again?

Well, if it didn't work, it wouldn't be your go-to solution...
