What personal possessions have you destroyed in anger.

Cell phone... Opened it up, Aimed for the floor and threw it screen first, By doing that it snapped at the hinges, let me put it this way, Front of the phone can now touch the battery :p... It was REALLY COOL, (The thing is a piece of Junk, It shuts of on the hour every hour, The speaker is F'd up and I'm getting a new one TOMORROW:D)
 
Hmm, this is a funny one.

My Dad's PC got a blue screen of death, after running system clean up, it began erasing itself!

So, in anger I went up to my room and kicked the wall, before I knew it there was a hole in my wall the size of my foot and I covered it up with a poster for about 2 years until they remodeled my room and my parents figured out I kicked in the wall. :D

I've also broken my CD player back in the day, I tossed it at the wall and then it stopped working, but luckily I had another one so it was no worry.

I've done lots of **** in the past these are just the memorable ones.
 
i nearly broke the display on my G4 iMac. i got irate and knocked it left, and it hit its limit and bounced back. i think i broke a wire, because at some angles, the display didnt work :(

didn't matter, the logic board carked it a few weeks later.

i also hate my phone, but it will not die! i chucked it across the bank of my school oval (which is about a 20 metre vertical drop, and about 30 metre horizontal), and it still works as well as it used to.
 
1 PSP
2 PS1s
1 Xbox
3 Keyboards
2 Cellphones
1 hp laptop (Will upload video to youtube once I get it off my camera)
1 IBM laptop (Thinkpad)
1 Video camera (Hence the wait on the laptop video)
4 Xbox controllers
1 17" CRT Monitor
1 Car
1 Push bike


Not all of these were in anger. Most of them were because I had used them so much they no longer worked properly and I felt like distroying them :D

The psp didn't work properly anymore and was out of warrenty, that got a 12gage buck shot

The first ps1 I got really pissed off with and jumped up and down on, the second one stopped working properly

The xbox I got pissed off witht he controls for halo and distroyed a couple of controlers then decided to drop the console off the top of my house

The keyboards were the usual pissed off with the computer and slamed my fists down on the keyboard with a nice "crunch" sound.

Both cell phones got throwen at people I was ****** with.

The hp laptop kept giving me little eletric shocks so that got the hammer

The IBM laptop got jumped on when it stopped working

The video camera was actauly dropped but I like to pretend that I smashed it

The xbox controllers were all jumped on, throwen, drowned in water etc

CRT Monitor was dropped (Made an awesome noise when it hit the ground though) because the dump said it would cost more to get rid of it if it was working than broken (rock on expencive recycling programmes)

The car was not the intended target in the car one, I was actauly learning to unicycle at the time and got frustrated and picked up my unicycle and threw it, it hit the car putting a couple of nice dents in it and smashing a couple of windows (I didn't get insurance)

I was about 7 with the push bike, everyone else at school had BMX's but I had this really old red thing with no gears, I threw the bike down the cliff next to our house and said it was an acedent to my parents to get a new bike...problem was my brother saw it and told mum and dad and I got in lots of trouble :eek:

But don't worry, deep down im a nice gental caring guy :D
 
Road rage: I smashed my car stereo's LCD. Later, I glued a photo that I made on illustrator saying "CD PLAY 00:00 TRACK 1" Nobody noticed it.

Angry: An acoustic guitar that my mother broke. I finished the job. I think guitars are the most cool thing to break. Think about it.

I was P***d off: 3 Fried hard drives - I still hate external enclosures. 2 Motherboards - then switched to Mac. Cheap hadphones, cheap speakers.

Britney: Again, I was driving and my friend was playing/singing/dancing britney's "slave for you". I lost my mind. I shut down the stereo, then my friend got upset, he threw his mp3 player to the back of the car. He has a nice iPod 5G now.

Making the word a better place: A cd of "Macarena" remixes mysteriously disappeared. :rolleyes:

Have a smashing weekend.
 
I punched out two large plate glass windows on Kearny street in San Francisco in 1962. Cut my hand badly, but I simply had to express my dismay to the people who thought I was in no condition to drive...didn't I?
 
I've destroyed headphones, but they were cheap and usually one of the ears had stopped working. When I was younger I would throw stuff around my room when I got angry and I'm sure I broke some stuff there, other than that I can't remember anything else.
 
broke cheap stuff like a $20 dollar tv remote and a $40 dollar garage sale guitar, but once i got a cellphone wet over time and the thing died

...then went to cellphone store and got another (for $50 dollars, the cheap model) because the salesperson said when it's wet, "nobody" can fix it...but i had just got back from my first class meeting in a phd computer engineering program and i saw his statement as a challenge to me and all engineers who ever lived ;)

and i fixed the wet cellphone and was mightily proud of myself but the powers that be in the universe put me back into reality...see, i was just lucky that i fixed the cellphone since many wet ones are truly dead forever

well, that same day, i dropped the replacement cellphone, just a few hours old, in the toilet by accident and that thing was dead forever

i still used the self repaired cellphone to this day, but the lcd blinks out every now and then and i have to turn it off and then back on and usually the lcd is revived

and sometimes it won't shut off so i have to pull the battery out to make the darn thing turn off :)

......

and to that poster who tossed their high school class ring into oblivion, i did a similar thing, in stupidity though

i bought my class ring for $150 since it wasn't real white gold, thank god, and not long after i had the ring, i went boating and got wet and the thing slipped off at some point and went to the bottom of the bay

it was a major loss since i really planned the ring to fit me perfectly...stone in red for school color, year of graduation and name of high school, extra option of my first name engraved on it, school band carving on one side, and track team carving on the other

it was my most expensive loss in stupidity or otherwise

i have another class ring but it's generic and not personalized in any way

now if i had one of those 21kt gold rings with a set diamond(s) in it worth a grand (see jostens or artcarved or similar) or so and lost that in the bay, i would have rented scuba gear and went after it ;)
 
I broke my hand on my Step-dads face and in a separate incident I put my fist through a rather expensive speaker.
 
A Madden NFL '06 game disc. Because I realized I was addicted. Which I promptly replaced the following week. And resumed being addicted to.
 
I haven't got too much of a mean streak, when I get pissed off the odd time I usually just thrash around on a bed or couch or outside for a while and hit soft, pillowy things until I feel better.

I did hurl a home phone with immense velocity at the wall in my room and left a sizeable dent in the drywall after an infuriating conversation with my girlfriend at the time. The phone was actually no worse for wear and the dent won't be hard to fix when I get around to doing it.

The only other semi-rageful thing I've done was annihilate the last remnants of a desk in my room. My dad had brought me this big huge old hardwood cubicle-style desk from his work when they moved buildings. This thing was an awesome desk, really huge, lots of room for stuff, but I was redesigning my room layout, and it look up like half the room so it had to go. We tried our best to take this thing apart screw by screw, peice by peice but this was just not one of those things that is meant to be taken apart. We got to the last three or four peices (keep in mind this is like a 7ft tall solid hardwood L-corner desk from the 70s or 80s) but each section weighed probably fifty to a hundred pounds depending on the size. Eventually we just decided to smash the last remaining sections that were holding together with various blunt objects until they all came apart so we could get the damn thing through the doorway.

All in all a pretty fun evening of desk-smashing.
 
I smashed a hammer through a wall once. They were going to remove and rebuild a section of the office building where I once worked. Workmen were starting to take the wall down, so I asked if I could take a swing and the construction guy said ok. It was fun.

Wouldn't it be entertaining to be the operator of the machine with the wrecking ball when they take an apartment building down? :)
 
I don't destroy things like that. If I'm in a destructive mood then I'll usually just stick on a DVD, usually Peep Show :) come to think of it I don't know anybody who destroys things when they're angry!
