Non-living things can’t have manners.
Ever since a Taco Bell garbage can audibly thanked me, I’ve been hypersensitive about inanimate objects being “polite.”
Trash can’t be grateful.

Did you look for a dumpster diver?
Ack! I’m with you there.
Reminds me of the time my wife and I were at Disneyland and she started flirting with a trash can who then proceeded to insult me to my face. I have no honor left!
You evidently have never talked to a jar of Miracle Whip.
A talking and moving trashcan at Disney World once fascinated and scarred my daughter. You just don’t expect it. You expect more of an Oscar the Grouch type sentiment.
As a kid we used to go to this dumpy amusement park that had talking animal trash cans. The trash cans were the highlight for us!!!
I still remember the pig one. She said, “I’m Petunia the Paper Eater!”
…yet!
Perhaps.
More interesting is the idea that we should have good manners towards (some) non-living objects. There are people spending the time to consider and clarify the ethics involved.
