Did you ever smash something in temper and regret it later?

Run_to_da_hills

I hopped my Nokia N91 off the ground the other day because it kept on freezing and coming up with stupid errors. It is now totally fu&*ked :mad:

orestes

Put my fist through a window in my house recently when I was wasted and angry

I regretted it about five minutes later when my dad was pulling lumps of glass and skin out of my hand and then poured a bottle of disinfectant over it, stung like a bastid

I shot a PC once. It was broken, but I later remembered that many bits could have been salvaged so regretted it.

Me mate was doing a clutch on a Renault 5 for a customer (Any mechanics nightmare) After spending a whole day fitting it the thing wouldn't select into gear. He threw a hammer through the windscreen. He had to pay for that too :eek:

Haha the best story I heard before the above one was of my friend's dad not knowing how to use his mobile so it threw it out the car window and reversed over it.

I threw my phone on the ground twice once. Was fine the first time, smashed into pieces the second time. I'm ashamed to say it was quite some time after before I realised that the fella I was angry with wasn't worth it.

Another time, encouraged by a few friends who saw I had issues, I smashed a trolley under a bridge. That was fun.

Never threw something at someone though! :eek:

Oh wait, actually one time I threw a dictionary at my dad and he threw a mug of hot coffee over me. Well that showed me

Yep, did the mobile smashing thing aswell, the phone was acting up, I was drunk, smashed the phone off the road and battery,sim card etc scattered everywhere
It's now lying in a field lol

Ruu_Old

I made bits of a few Lexmark printers (see Office Space ) in my time but never smashed anything with any regrets.

Overheal

I smashed by new pteradactyl toy. That thing was awesome the wings were all multi-pieced and there was kung-fu flap... completely into pieces.

Mahatma coat

once wrecked a Jag and a 7 Series in the same afternoon, regretted the 7 series later.

there was this aul Fella lived near us when we were kids and he used to keep chickens in old cars, anyway, he bought these 2 cars to expand his chicken coops, we spotted that they were both runnin so we asked if we could have a bit of fun with them before he parked them up and let them rot.

the Jag was beyond repait, but the BMW could have been salvaged into something quite presentable at the time - well it could have before we started racing.

we raced them around the fields all afternoon until eventualy we fvcked the Jag beyond repair. the BMW could still be turned over last time we checked about 6 months later, tho at that stage it was a full fledged chicken coop

Curran

Smashed a pint glass on my forehead during a drunken arguement with the "better" half - she was going on and on and wouldnt shut up - i felt like slapping my head because of brain numbness or banging my head off the wall!! I opted for the slapping my forehead and the glass happened to be in my hand at the time - not good, 12 hours in Beaumont and 4 stitches later, theres a small scar to show my war wound!!
Also when playing pool in my mates house, i missed a pretty easy shot and i felt like breaking the cue, and did the motions to break it over my knee but stopped short of doing it, redfaced, grrrrrrrrrrrin! - one of the girls piped up - "you wouldnt have done it" - "YEAH i would", i replied - "doubt it!!!!" At this stage the cue was across my shoulders with my arms hanging on each end - SNAP across by shoulder, followed by each half of the cue halved again over my knee and then the fecked out the window!!!! "Ehhhh that was my cue", is all i heard as the splinters flew out the window - mates fav cue in pieces - £90 for the replacement at the time!!
I've calmed down a little since those youthful days

Sherifu

Phones, watches. The usual.

Doctor DooM

SDOOM SMASH!!!


Seriously thought I haven't smashed anything really as an adult. Working (and playing in the case of music) with sensitive electronic equipment quickly makes you respect the limits of physical objects.

So there!

Dave!

The closest thing to me when I was losing at Pro Evo one time was a kind of connection cable, so I smashed that (accidentally) off the window ledge. It wasn't important anyway.

I also punched a hole in the (hollow) wall in my old bedroom.

I also punched a hole in the kitchen door.

I was a silly billy

Never smashed anything myself but this thread reminds me of a lad who i use to play xbox live with. He smashed his xbox (original. Not 360) with a hammer after getting pissed off at a game. He claimed of his home insurance the next day

cormie

Was fighting with my brother and I forget what lead up to it, but he wrecked something of mine, so I picked this up: http://www.czaszabawy.pl/photo/product_info/6/a/c/1_6acc56dcd422.jpg which he spent AGES building back in the day, and just smashed the whole thing off the floor, he then proceeded to go into my room and empty my shelves onto the ground. I think we then both started bawling crying

I also cracked one of these off his head, great shot, went all over him

I also smashed this really valuable Waterford crystal vase when I was a toddler, but that doesn't count!

Doors, cupboards, walls, mugs, plates ..... I dont need to go on.

Rob_l

A friend of mine lets call him ian is forever doing stupid things while annoyed his last one was he got off the phone from his missus and was annoyed so threw his phone at the wall hit a lamp someone who was dead had given to his missus, so he picked up his phone again and threw it once more in anger this time it hit the wall and smashed so he kicked the wall finally breaking his foot.

Oh how I laughed at his pain :cool:

Keano

Smashed my gameboy many many years ago when I couldn't pass a level

Holsten

Yep, I do this all the time.

Tons of electronic crap has been smashed to pieces because I'd get pissed off at it, Game controllers, gameboys, walkmans, mp3 players, remote controls, keyboards, etc..

I have self-control, so I can't remember any smashing incident I've ever had. But there are plenty of incidents from childhood. A house of four brothers, there was inevitably a lot of fights. When one person lost their temper during a fight (as would inevitably happen), protocal dictated that the other person lock themselves in a toilet till it all calmed down.

One particular time, brother A lost his temper and brother B locked himself in the toilet. So brother A runs upstairs to brother B's bedroom, grabs a guitar and smashes it, rock n' roll style, on the ground. Delighted with his handiwork, he summons brother B out of the toilet. Brother B then points out that he had in fact borrowed brother A's (identical) guitar that morning, and brother B's guitar was sitting downstairs, unsmashed. Cue much laughing from brother B and a quick trip to be locked in the toilet again.

I keep my temper under wraps because I like my behaviour when it gets the better of me.
I think ramming the family car into our house until I calmed down. Was probably the worst tantrum I ever had.
In fairness I was a hormonal teenager at the time.

javaboy

Tunnel B1 disc for PS1. Frisbeed for a while with a friend. No regrets.

Another coincidentally frisbee related one was when the same friend and I were rambling through some muddy fields near a building site (ah to be 12 again). We found a hubcap and had a contest to see who could throw it further. I went first. The wind whipped it up and it hit a builder's car as he was leaving work. No damage that I could see. His car was a junker already and I think he knew there was no way I could have done it on purpose so he let it slide. There were no more hubcap frisbee shenanigans that day.

Jigsaw

An old joystick for my Commodore Amiga.

Some phones as well. Mostly Siemens phones which are annoying as f**k.

DanGerMus

Remember way back when was playing transformers with friends in the front garden which was paved concrete, one of the lads said he'd let me play with his megatron if i gave him my galvatron so i went to get it but when i came out he had given the megatron to someone else to play with, i got so angry i smashed my galvatron off the ground. Not quite smidireens but i think an arm and a leg were off either way he was FUBAR went completely mental when i realised what i had done and started screamin and crying freakin out. that must be 20 years ago and i still remember and regret it very clearly.

I still get extremely pissed off when i make plans to do something in a particular way or lay out the way i'm going to do it or organise something and someone changes it without including/consulting me. I just channel the energy better now and smash them instead of feckin up my stuff.

I think i may have mild OCD cos i really really like things done my way and even though other ways will do i get damn frustrated.

stevoman

ye probobly wont beleive me but iv smashed myself through (just let me count) 8 phones in the last year and a half!

johnnyrotten

no

Mossy Monk

I once smashed a Sega Megadrive joypad off the ground. Not done it since.

Terry

Lots when I was a child, but nothing much in recent years.

Last one was a mobile phone thrown at a wall during a bout of nicotine withdrawal.

Stercus Accidit

Ha ha the thread of my life.

Well I do this all the time, my hand has just healed after I broke it and had to pick plastic out of it when I punched through my laptops screen.

I get angry alot.

I never have a phone, I must have smashed dozens, many broken hi-fi's, games controllers, walls whatever I've broken it.

Its a pretty big problem and I'd say its due to stress, that and I hate my father.

Oh well.

I'll get help eventually...

az2wp0sye65487

Managed to throw a snooker ball through the door of the washing machine when i was a child. Don't ask me how, cos i don't know! Can't remember it at all but am reminded from time to time when having reminiscent chats with the folks.

So, did you ram the car into the house, reverse and then ram again? Hope whatever got you into a tantrum was worse than being grounded or something, although I'd find it hard to find what your parents could do that would have someone simultaneously smash together the two most expensive things people own.

I did say I was a teenage redhead.
My dad was taking his time coming out to drive me somewhere.
He got into the car and said nothing.
I didn't actually damage the house, I didn't have much of a run.

When I was a kid I flung one of those "unbreakable" watches at the wall in anger. The screen promptly cracked and filled with black and couldn't have been arsed getting it fixed.

Have broken 1 computer mouse thanks to poker.

I've flung plenty about in anger but most are small and unbreakable.

No way this dude is me a few years ago!! it's due to stress, hate my whoever, yada yada... I'm an a$$hole....

Yeah I broke my hand punching the wall while arguing with my girlfriend, actually smashed it.. I very nearly lost the girl I love over that... also I play drums, and am very, very lucky that I can still play.... regretted it? oh yes...got help? definitely!!! actually I should be thinking of renewing my subscription to anger management classes as I wound up in the hospital again recently with a suspected broken foot after taking to the hoover with great gusto!!!

smashed phones, remote controls, doors cracking off the hinges.... the most recent and regrettable one since the hand breaking was while chucking the remote in a rage - it landed on herself's vintage retro antique lamp, given to her by someone special... smashed idir smidirini....

none since then.. it's not worth it, especially when you wreck someone else's stuff... or your own person.....or when you're that angry and someone else is around...it gets dangerous...

happy smashing!!!

That reminds me, I've snapped quite a few pool cues over the last couple of years. We have a pool table in the house and whenever I'm in a bad mood I play to relax, but occasionally it just p!sses me off more when I miss shots and I've snapped five or six cues by smashing them across the table in frustration in stupid executioner-beheading-a-prisoner style strokes
