Silly story where aliens cause everything inanimate (even shoes) to become intelligent and talk

This is another story I read in a science fiction magazine in the mid-to-late 1980s, probably published that decade. The premise is silly: Aliens arrive at Earth and disapprove of the way humans interact with their environment. They say something like "Everything has life." and depart.

From that moment on, every distinct object is alive, and at least most have intelligence and can talk. The narrator describes what a trial it is to try to get through a day with everything you use having an opinion. One thing that stands out is that he mentions the complaints of his shoes.
