This was me just a couple hours ago. My piece of crap printer was giving me nothing but trouble as it always does and I just couldn't take it anymore. This guy in the photo appears to be using a sledgehammer to fix his printer trouble, but I opted for a simple household hammer. It worked just as well and I feel sooo much better! Our shit for brains printer would drive both Tom and I crazy and something as simple as printing boarding passes for a flight could take up to an hour of fiddling to get one stupid page to print. But not anymore. I'm tempted to take what's left of this printer out to the middle of an open field and whack away with a baseball bat. It worked for these fellas....

I remember a similar incident in college involving a cordless phone. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Must have been a 'roid rage but I don't remember a hammer being involved. I threw a phone down the garbage chute. Is that the incident?
I finally lost it with my DVD player, which couldn't play a single DVD without, at some point, freezing up randomly and not continuing. (Testing the DVD's on my laptop revealed nothing wrong with them. Back into DVD player, they froze up again.) I took a pair of sheet metal scissors, and went to town with them. They cut through more than just sheet metal. Then I just pounded the crap out of it with the handle. I felt much better afterward.
You were able to cut through your dvd PLAYER??? Was it thin?? I'm with ya on the pounding it with the handle. Why does that make us feel sooo much better??
So Tom came home from a trip and tells me last night that he needed to print something out for a work conference call for this morning. I was like, "Well...that can't exactly happen." I showed him the beat to hell printer (still sitting on the floor in the office) and he says, "WHY? WHY?? WHY MUST YOU DO THESE THINGS???" But he also said he can understand because we both had nothing but problems with the darn thing. So today we're heading out to get a new one!
I didn't really demolish it, but I turned the casing on the top into confetti... much of it is plastic. Some of it is sheet metal. These are serious hardware scissors, like what you would cut through thick rolled steel with. They are pretty strong, and heavy enough to pound things. I figured, okay, you aren't going to play a single movie from beginning to end, and I've had you too long to return you... it's curtains for you, buddy.
Girlfriend. You look AWFUL in that picture. ;)
