I broke my old laptop out of rage :oops:
Then I got an Optima desktop to replace it. I haven't smashed it yet, but I've hit my fist on the keyboard a few times.

My laptop was an old IBM thinkpad, so it was dead easy to get spares cheap, even TFT screens werent too expensive. Plus IBMs are dead easy to dismantle. It eventually died in October where me thumping the key board in rage meant I broke the main board and got admitted to hospital shortly thereafter. Bloody cleaner threw away half the bits!! !

I have broke one laptop by throwing it on the ground when angry at it. I have also broke an xbox 360 and television at the same time while I was playing video games. I suck real bad at video games and they tend to make me mad. So, I picked up the xbox360 and threw it towards my tv, didn't mean to hit the tv screen, but it did.

While reading this thread, I can't help but think about this youtube clip. It's funny, but old. I have a pillow that I "beat up" instead of things of value, or people. I also meditate and practice cognitive behavioural therapy. It helps!

Good God, about the ibuprofen. Cannabinoids are chemically similar or identical to neurotransmitters in the brain. Ibuprofen is a designer drug that is based on the same tricyclic molecular structure as cannabinoids. When I leave through the Physician's Desk Reference I see this structure repeated with many variations.

Designer drugs are infamous for unpredictable psychotropic effects. I'm not surprised that an artificial cannabinoid can cause rage in some people.

I have rages that are usually related to someone's willful stupidity. Like, when someone's car's electrical system has problems, she wants me to fix them and lets me fix them, but when I inform her that her battery needs to spend time on the charger she suddenly knows a whole lot more about the subject than I do.

I hope this is not too off-topic, although it does deal with people getting mad at computers that are not working:
