Have you ever hated a tool or appliance so much that you physically destroyed it?
I'll post the grisly yet fun details later. Hint: It was from Sears.

Yes.
It's particularly gratifying with computer equipment too.

One time my weedeater quit me and I blew a gasket. Louisville slugger'd that mo-fo against a tree a couple of times engine first. It felt great and I got a new weedeater..
I've gotten much better self control the past few years but I've actually busted the hell out of a few things in the past.

I've destroyed a Sony cordless phone and a Dell tower computer. (The Dell was more of a complete loss of temper and I put my steel-toe through the side. Ooops.)
Oh, and a ritualistic setting fire of and subsequent destruction of a couple crappy acoustic guitars. Not tools or appliances, but still...

I pretty much destroy everything I touch sooner or later just because I'm hard on tools, but I do have a tendency to destroy my portable radios. everytime I get a new one, someone working for me breaks the antenna off sometime that day, sometimes a week or two later. such poor reception around here all you can catch is religion and country. hard to catch anything different even with the antenna. I buy a lot of cheap radios to replace the ones destroyed with shovels, sledge hammers and excavators. there is that one time my refridgerator was shot several times at close range, beat senseless with a sledge hammer and somehow caught on fire in my kitchen one night, but that's a story I would rather forget.

I kicked a motorcycle off it's center stand before and threw a few tools denting the walls. Most of that occurred when I was a bit younger, but I still on occasion will slam something down on a workbench or something.

Sony TV failed after 14 years...I had to shoot it.
It was out of my hands.

My wife reminds me of one from a long time ago. I had one of these stupid bachelor party light that responds to sound thingies in my pad. It stopped working because of one stupid little copper contact. Then I can't get the g'damn thing back together, it was basically able to be assembled but never repaired....
So I placed it on the floor by the couch, calmly walked over the closet and laced up my military issue combat boots, climbed up onto the couch and did my best Jimmy "Superfly" Snooka (he was a pro wrastler for you youngins) on the unit. VERY SATISFYING. (oh, and like Red Baron, I went Babe Ruth on a weedeater once too)

I chucked a 19" television out a sixth-story window back in college.
Yes, I checked to make sure there wasn't anyone below first, but GOD it felt good. It was catharsis.

I threw a Sony cordless telephone against a woodstove so hard I was vacuuming up pieces of it for 6 months. Not really proud of it, but that was one damn annoying phone!

Yes, a Roybi cordless drill. It chuck was constantly letting loose and the batteries were lousy. One day it slowed to a crawl so I went out back and threw it against a large rock. I left it there for a couple days in disgrace before tossing the entire kit (drill, circular saw, charger, case) into the dumpster. Man that felt good - worth every penny of that $99 I spent on it. DeWalt 18v back in the house.

Leaf Blower, it was ugly. Probably would have been charged with murder in some states.

About 10 years old. Riding a wooden sled down the little hill behind our house. For some reason I kept going into the same tree time after time, bumping my head. Finally had enough. Went in the garage and fetched the axe. Went about hacking the sled to pieces, until my grandpa happened to see me. I did lose some hair in front of my ears that afternoon.
