I have beaten my computer like a red-headed stepchild when it malfunctioned. I have a new one now, and I want it to know that I will do the same to it if it screws up on me!

That means YOU!

Yes. YOU!

Actually, yes - I had a fan that would act up and start making obnoxious noises, and slapping the side of the case would make it stop for a while.

I know a guy like that, but I think it's his fault it does that. He has headbutted it and hit it multiple times.

Nope.

But I have smashed my keyboard into the desk some times.

It's too expensive, though, so if I get mad now, I throw something into the wall... or bang on the wall. It's been a while since I've done that, though : )

I start of by tapping it gently. If no I see no progress, a small kick usually helps.

Not my laptop, but frequently all the tower computers we've had. And yes, I slap/lightly kick the towers, not the monitors. Made me feel better.

Not my own computer, I don't want to damage it further. I do, however, let loose on the school computers, quite recently headbutting one that was being stupid. One of the teachers nearby then said 'A shoddy worksman blames his tools' to which I said 'Fine, I'm a shoddy worksman, the computer is still shit'. Good times.

I used to get so angry at controllers. I now can't afford to keep replacing them and so am more careful. Laptops however are replaced by work and get the thorough beating that they all deserve from me.... regularly!

What I did do was break my mouse and my two controllers... but they were working fine. Maybe I should learn to ragequit more, it might cost less.

Yeah, every time.

However, every time it fixed the problem. On various computers.

Percussive fixing ability for the win.
