Resistentialism is a theory in which objects display hostile or negative behavior towards human beings. The term was coined by humorist Paul Jennings in a piece titled "Report on Resistentialism" published in The Spectator in 1948. The movement is a spoof of existentialism in general, and Jean-Paul Sartre in particular (Jennings gives the inventor of Resistentialism as Pierre-Marie Ventre). The slogan of Resistentialism is "Les choses sont contre nous" -- "Things are against us".
