....get really annoyed with something to the point where you destroy it?

I was just now trying to put a composite video -> s-video cable into my graphics card, so i could output to my TV...

However the pins on the s-video end weren't quite straight, and despite having spent the last half hour trying to get them aligned properly it still wouldn't go in.

So what did I do?

I pull the 5ft cable apart into 11 (although I think there's a bit missing) pieces.

Fantastic. Now I can't use it even if I do get the connection sorted.

Yes.

I think so. Don't remember though.

EDIT: Although one of these days, my joystick is gonna wind up broken, cus it keeps recalibrating itself and sending my 200 million dollar airplane into the ground in fligh simulator. :mad:

You're not alone, my friend. I throw around and destroy things when I'm angry. Everybody knows that, and everybody distance themselves away from me when I'm thoroughly pissed off lest they might get hit by flying projectiles.

no, if i get to that point i usually walk away, usually before i get to that point. people sometimes get me angry enough to want to destroy things though, although i'd have to be pretty drunk to actually do any destroying of person or property.

Yes.

why yes I do.

No, which is lucky because I get pissed off at this PoS computer at least 4 times a day.

I think so. Don't remember though.

Oh, don't worry, I shattered a PlayStation 2 controller within a week of getting the console. Breaking a joystick is nothing ;)

Sometimes, if I get really, really, really annoyed & chuck the thing on the ground.

On the rear right corner of my bus is what's called 'the dent of shame,' placed there by my palm after I replaced the fuel pump with a Type I pump instead of a Type II pump. Apparently, one of the only differences between a Type II and a Type I is the pump.

yes if i get really annoyed at somthing for not doing what it should and i know i cant get a refund i'l destroy it beyond reconition, this includes people!:sniper:

If it's something that's very cheap (and I wouldn't want to replace it anyway), then yes, I will smash the hell out of it if I become sufficiently frustrated.

If it's something expensive (or anything that I don't want to break), I'll just grab my aluminum bat and go beat the living shit out of one of my trees... If I'm frustrated enough. And that happens very rarely.

....get really annoyed with something to the point where you destroy it?All the fucking time. At least you didn't tear the rest of the house apart while you were at it.

what's great is that it even works with non-physical entities. like relationships and careers.

Showing up drunk for class & vomiting on one of my pupils... Fond memories.

I have been known to hit my keyboard and throw my mouse around, but have never seriously broken something.

No. I use the whole "get up, pace backwards and forwards for a while shouting expletives in my head until blood pressure lowers" thing, granted it won't work for everyone...

Damn that is awesome.
Sometimes if a batsman annoys me i bounce him.
But i try not to get agravated by things because yes i have a habit of breaking them.

Yeah, my ex-girlfriend was very capable of getting me to destroy some of my stuff... Just got me to the breaking point once though then I shipped her out. Been Single ever since... :p

Destroyed my smoke alarm once. It wouldn't quit beeping..no matter WHAT I did to it. (and no..no smoke around). I threw it across the room at a wall. That shut it up nicely.:p

Did you try taking the battery out of it?

Back when I was a little kid and I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and I kept trying to do the horse challenge or whatever, I kept throwing my controller on the ground, eventually breaking it in two.

Also, more recently, after I got mad due to horrible lag in something, I slammed my monitor against the wall, creating a hole in the wall.

:D

Far, far too sensible a suggestion.

Did you try taking the battery out of it?

Yes I did. I even took the cap off and started poking around the innards. Must have missed something otherwise it would not have shut off when it was thrown.

I just kick random things.

When I'm really frustrated, I drink until I pass out.

i love our monkey brains

Friend of mine once wrecked an Austin Allegro when it wouldn't start. Bit like the scene in Fawlty Towers where Basil Fawlty tries to thrash his car. Except instead of a stressed out hotel owner with a flimsy tree branch, it was a hairy biker with a large club hammer. Completely trashed it, from dashboard to distributor cap.

Of course, it serves him right for owning an Austin All-aggro.

Yes, I do. Frequently.

i get all my rage out at work. its alot less cost to me. infact i get paid while im doing it.
