Have you ever felt like breaking glass? (1 Viewer)

[Mark Shannon]

My cousin threw his PSX across the room once. Needless to say it doesn't work anymore (on account of the fact it's in about 15 peices).

I've often wanted to break things to relieve tension; it's a natural instinct for a lot of us, I think. Punching things is a great stress reliever, but when I had the bright idea to punch a steel wall one day at work, my hand was pretty much useless for the next two weeks. I think I fractured a few bones in my hand, but I never went to the doctor because I was too stubborn. Couldn't put any real pressure on it at all for awhile.

Next time I'll just punch something more forgiving.

I have really wanted to throw my PS2 out the window on many occasions. Controllers go flying into the ground frequently, havet broken one so far though.

Hehe, I've been known to throw my dreamcast controllers across the room before. Once while playing a game I got soo frustrated (played the same spot over like 20 times) i threw my controller on the ground and stomped it to pieces. It was a very satisfying crunch and since there only $10 i just bought a new one.

Too many pacifists on this thread...

I have done this 4 times:

1. [sober] Punched out window in college bathroom after getting really upset during pledging. It was a thin window, not too much damage, just some blood.

2. [slight buzz] Punched out door window after key got stuck inside. Not much damage.

3. [extemely drunk] Punched out window at college house party. I have no real recollection of it. I did have a piece of glass that was stuck in my wrist for almost a decade until it worked it self out and I could pull it out. It would hurt when someone shook my hand up high towards the wrist.

4. [very drunk] Punched out plate glass [what exactly does plate glass mean?] store front window. This made the other 3 look like nothing. Luckily, it was during the winter so I had ski gloves on. If I had done it bare fisted, I might have been in trouble. My glove had cuts all over it. Glass flying everywhere.

Luckily, I never got caught for any of these. I would never do it again. There was a story in Dallas where two construction guys got into a heated argument. One of them walked away, punched a window, slashed his vein/artery and bled to death.

Also, if there are any pro wrestling fans out there, years ago Goldberg punched out a few car windows with gloves on, cut himself badly [needed surgery] and was bleeding profusely on TV.

There is a moment, especially the first time, where after you do it - you get a certain rush. It's like doing a backflip correctly for the first time after practicing it forever. A feeling of "Holy @%$#, I just did that!!!"

I also punched a hole in my wall when the Lakers beat the Pistons in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

I have also broken at least a dozen joysticks and other objects over the years.

This is very Fight Club-esque to all of this [Women will never understand]. It is just this boiling need to take action, somehow, someway, instead of just being a pussy.

It does put an end to your anger very quickly, though.

some of my friends think i have anger mgmt issues...

I think a lot of you do.

Serenity now, folks. Serenity now.

Try a fast three-mile run next time. The utter exhaustion and endorphin rush will take all your troubles away.

Lets see...

Put my fist through a glass window once. Like Jason, there was some blood, but not a GREAT deal of damage. I do have a couple of little scars that most folks don't even notice though.

Also put my fist through a wall once. Roommate pissed me off REALLY badly, so I hit the wall instead of hitting the roomie.

I've been thinking of starting a new trend, the next stage of anger management(or de-management). What it is is this; basically there would be places(say a store for example but it would be sterile and not consumer minded) located around your town that you could walk into and in order to relieve stress you can break whatever you wanted. Glass, furnishings, TV's, appliances, computers, phones, various materials like wood, plastic etc. There would be separate rooms filled with these seemingly normal objects that you could obliterate should you feel the need to exert some anger and force.

I really feel the need for human beings to exert force and destroy things is normal and necessary so if it can be done in a supervised location it would be very theraputical.

Sure the insurance side of it might prevent such a concept from ever seeing the light of day, but I wish places like that existed. You walk in, "Hi I'll take the glass room" or "I'll take the living room" or "I'll take the kitchen please", maybe you get dressed up in protective gear, goggles and gloves, they escort you into your room of choice and you fuck up what you want with no fear of reprucussions. Hell, maybe even just have that fake breakaway glass instead of the real deal to minimize injury should you choose not to wear protective gear.

Ok so who wants to be the first to buy into this revolutionary new chain of theraputical centers?

I'd buy that for a dollar!

And if you had a room full of Windows PC's available to stressed out sysadmins (like me), I'd rent the room for a DAY. Do I hafta supply my own hammers?

I got really drunk one night after a fight with the wife, & had the stupid idea of hitting a glass bulb in the garage. To my suprize it was very thick & laid my hand open pretty bad. I ended up cutting a main attery & tendon in my hand,& chipped part of the bone in my nuckel & got 17 stiches out of the deal. Now I have a big funky scar & can't fully straighten my pinky finger without it hurting.

And like others I have destroyed a few playstation remotes, & in fact ripped one console out & slammed it down busting it into several pieces along with the game inside.
I've had some serious anger problems but for the most part have calmed down in the last few years.
