"Have you ever given your comp a pasting?"

A recent report has suggested that more and more people have, at some point suffered from what they are calling 'Information rage'.

You know? When your damn 56K modem just isn't fast enough to download that picture of Anna Kournikova before your mum enters the room, you just feel like opening a can of 'Whoop' and indeed some 'Ass' on your tiny little screen.

Now, I've quite often had a fit of impatient ranting. But has anyone else actualy inflicted any serious hurt to anything or anyone due to their computer playing silly Boogers?

yeah, but he's a sucker for those low blows, gets him everytime ....

In fact me and my wall have become quite good sparing partners of late.

He's got to work on his defense though.

yeah, but my wall was plasterboard and a nice knuckle shaped hole now resides there... :)

Thats the thing you see. I don't get stressed at anything, (even though my username suggests otherwise) but when the computer is being particularly slow I can definitely feel the blood pressure rise.

I normaly end up punching the wall. Which I am guessing has even less give than the monitor?

Ho Hum.

I've got one, or should I say I had one ... :)

The best cure for stress is a set of gloves and a punchbag, which sadly came off the wall when me and my friends got together while severely lashed up, and gave it the beating of its life....

Well I can't really judge on anger management but for christmas I would advise "Santa" gets you one of those rubber stress balls lol ;D they may be for mental patients who urinate in thier own clothes but if it works :D

yeah, monitors arent a good thing for punching. you get little reaction from it and usually badly bruised knuckles.

the other week I lost my rag when my PC kept crashing for no reason, so went into the garage, found a croquet stick (I don't play it so don't ask me why it was there), and applied it generously to an old telly. after 2 or 3 hits I caught the top of the screen, and it exploded with the most satisfying sound in the world.
do I have a problem managing my anger? nah....

ohhhhh I remember those days before Broad band but now my computer lives without domestic abuse unless of course I get drunk and grr a ge dm smellly damn (***SMASH***) Oh my god I KILLED HER!!! (Jumps out window and runs...)

I've thrown my controller to the floor a load of times. I've punched this monitor a load in the past, and I often bang my fist on this desk, which is made of glass. Surprised I haven't put it through yet

Yup I suffer from this rage to.

Once my pc crashed on a file what I was donwloading and it took ages! and yer you've got it it crashed and bacily pulled my mouse out of the back and threw it, at teh time I felt good but then after I got grounded and had to but a new mouse. I got a KitKat one :D
