Have you ever, out of anger, beaten an inaminate object to death?

Poll question: Have you ever, out of anger, beaten an inaminate object to death?

[MissMarple]

1. Am I missing something here? What would be the point? Why beat anything?

Just go hit a tennis ball or something....

:D
on edit, I like Harriet, but I think I need to change my avatar. I'm feeling a grim smile like Death's from the Disc world. Hmm..

Would this be a good thing?

2. I hate telephones. n/t

3. if it is inanimate, isn't it already dead.

Seriously though - how do you kill something that never lived?

[Rumba]

5. It's a sardonic way to express

breaking it into many pieces

[RPM]

8. in that case - yes...

head once, he was in the middle of kicking my brothers' asses at the time, and i thought i was like a charlies angel or something and i actually jumped up on this guy with my arm around the neck and my legs around his torso... and trried to smash the bottle on his skull like three times! it never broke. that only happens in the movies. treamont fucking avenue! i'll never drink there again!

9. It's all in the wrist

[bettyellen]

11. i smash bottles like a girl... i know..

[MissMarple]

18. And you really want to actually break the bottle. And that could be

a very bad thing. Only do that in a defensive maneuver.

23. I squished a hostess cupcake on the sidewalk

because I was mad at Mrs. Tabon in fifth grade.
I wanted that brown frosting and the white squiggles, oh the squiggles, I almost picked it up and ate it. But I didn't. I've always regretted that.

10. And it was the last time. I had to clean it up.

It was a bottle of milk that I really let go at someone. The glass bottle will tell you how long ago that was.

12. I had a boss once that... oh wait, maybe I shouldn't say that.

13. I murdered my color printer one day

It made me so very, very angry, refusing to print when I was running late, and for no good reason. So I yanked it off the cable and smashed it on the ground.

MAN, did that feel good.

14. Husband throttled a rake one time

After it jumped up and gave him a black eye after stepping on it. The whole cartoon scenario. Had to suppress a laugh. Still have the mutilated rake.

[Rumba]

22. yeah, I've done that once or twice

Not a rake, but in the moment of shooting vicious pain immediately after getting whacked really good by some inanimate object. The fight-or-flight reaction kicks in, but then it's like "Flee? From a f***ing RAKE?? YOU'RE MINE MOTHERF***ER!". Then it's all over for the rake.

15. Not to death...

Just until it was coughing up inanimate blood.

[signmike]

16. I once made an attempt on the life of a soccer ball,

with a hatchet, The ball didn't pop, the hatchet bounced back with at least the force of my swing and damn near took my head off. I ceded the fight.

[Rumba]

19. Quite wise, ceding.

Thanks for the amusing image!

[Kenneth ken]

17. yes

when I was about 20 I had a stereo with built-in cassette deck that I used for taping albums off the radio; sometimes the radio signal would go out, for no reason I could discern. Eventually it went out when I was in the middle of taping Jeff Beck's 'Wired' off the radio. I beat the whole stereo to death with a hammer. Smashed it to pieces.

It gave me a good excue to go out and buy new stereo equipment.

By my mid-twenties, I had a heavy bag that I used to pound on regularly; I eventually got through all my anger, and didn't ned it after that.

Now, I am better able to step back and look at things from a larger perspective, and I rarely stay angry for more than a minute or two.

:D

20. That's impossible!

24. Two floor lamps will never light again

I salvaged them from somewhere, Ank said he hated them, so I smashed them into kindling.
