You ever just get so mad at your tech that you...

You ever get so mad at your tech that you.... (Insert answer)

 

For example...

I just got so mad at my malfunctioning Bluetooth speaker that while on a ladder fixing a router I threw my RJ45 crimpers at it..... THEN IT ACTUALLY WORKED.

a computer wouldnt post, so i kicked it, and it posted.

 

ever since i've been kicking the thing to make it post (worked reliably) until i swapped out some parts with a friend.

Stick your dick in a toaster?

well, we all knew the motherboard was stone dead, so i traded my core2quad, the broken motherboard, and 4 broken dimms for a P4, overclocking motherboard, and 2 working dimms.

 

upon me tossing in an old keyboard into the deal, he offered 2 functional and 1 broken jade loon fans, and a 250GB hard drive.

 

i honestly didnt even bother testing the core2quad, for all i know thats stone dead as well. the entire thing was a disaster.

I got so mad at my S4 Mini that I threw it at a wall across my house.  I thought the phone was invincible, it was not.

i did that with my nokia once, it damaged the house.

then a bit later i did it with an alcatel cheapo smartphone, and it fixed a dent in the phone...

I got so mad at my DualShock 3 controller spazzing out for inexplicable reasons that I threw it on the bed at an odd angle.

 

It fixed the issue...temporarily. Now I just straight up dismantle and reassemble it when it freaks out.

My very first computer was a Vectra VE 8/DT desktop that I got for free from my school when they were upgrading the Ag lab computers, and it had this quirk where it would freeze up sometimes and the only way to fix it (besides a hard shut down back when those were not a great idea) was to smack the case as hard as possible on the right side. It would then grind for about a second and start working perfectly like nothing happened. I loved that computer.

Then my dad decided to throw it away while I was gone to college without asking me about it. :angry:  :angry: :angry:  Needless to say, I'm still a little pissed at him about it.

I was losing in virtual fighter (my thumbstick's were stiff) and I raged and broke the controller in 2 with MEH BEAR HANDS! 

 

it was one of those nice LED Star Wars EP3 limited edition controllers they sold when the Ep3 game came out. Fitting since it was the sith red edition :3

back in high school the vending machines used to sometimes lock up when returning money, hitting them in a specific spot worked, and it made the teachers SUPER pissed off, i made one purple from anger because i hit it as she was telling me not to because it wouldnt help, and as she finished her sentence the money dropped out.

Do you ever get so mad at your tech that you hit your computer, it falls out of the window near a cat, the cat then jumps and runs away, cat gets run over by a car, the car crashes into your house, and finally the cars brand new windshield is *gently* holding your pc with its case torn open and a fan gently spinning. Don't hit your computer, get Linustechtips.

[byalexandr]

Gently ask it to not do that because shit's expensive.

I have a dead pixel that goes away when I look angry at it.

Thus where the word "boot" comes from.

thats how you properly boot a pc from medion...

 

if you can repair a computer by spinning back the system clock to jan 1 1980 you know something fishy is up...

[SilicateWielder]

Do you ever get so angry with your computer's faulty ram that you purposely short it to all hell just to have an excuse to buy a new stick?

 

(True story, unfortunately the store didnt have any DDR2 ram in back... Those wonderful days of ignorance to computer hardware were bliss)

[mider]

Lost in FIFA 15 and threw my brother's controller at the wall and broke.   

[Misanthrope]

I talk to Excel daily, like "Stop thinking you fucking bitch I wanna go home" and "I TOLD YOU I need a general cell why do you keep fucking switching it to TEXT!" and so no.

[KemoKa]

I rarely get angry, and when I vent, it's fast and quite violent. I try and minimize damage, so it's only ever usually my arm or hand that gets injured, but one time I threw my phone.

I had my nokia N73 at the time.

uhhh, the damn thing still works to this day, like 5 years later.

[techswede]

The only piece of sh*erm* tech i get mad at is my awful phone

Its been thrown clear across the room repeatedly. Still works though

[DRGSaber]

I got so mad at a build i was working on since it would not post. I took the CPU out and broke it in half with two pairs of pliers, then took a hammer to the motherboard

[Kobathor]

I once got so mad at my mouse for becoming unplugged during a CS:GO competitive match that I threw it at the wall. 

 

That's when I bought my new mouse. 

[TheKDub]

I got really pissed off at my old laptop's power brick because it stopped working, so I took it and swung it around, smacked it into the floor a few times, tried it again, and it worked

 

 

And my old phone killed itself somehow, and would freeze when turning on, more specifically when the phone vibrates; the damn thing was vibrating non stop, so I took it outside, threw it maybe 30 feet into the air towards my car (needed to get my screwdriver that's small enough to rip the phone apart), it came down, hit the dirt and stones and such below it, not a single scratch, and the piece of shit was still vibrating....

[Ddave]

My phone's alarm went on and I threw it on the wall while half-asleep. Then I jumped out of the bed when realized what I have done.

Best alarm ever.
