Has online poker ever caused you to break an expensive object?

[JayLeno]

ehhhhh.......yes!
1) Hard disk in my old laptop
2) Remote control to TV
3) Telephone
4) Several pens
5) My metacarpal bone
6) and several other small items...

Maybe I should have a chat with Doctor Phill.... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Threw my RAZR phone across the room, hitting my TV. Luckily they both survived. One of those moments that as soon as it leaves your hand you're like "no!!!"

Trashed my IBM thinkpad among a few other casualties [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I've recently learned to channel my anger differently though!

I threw a glass into my wall at about the top speed I'm capable of. That was a mess getting all the shards out of the carpet. Rarely to I flip out like this anymore however.

This is hilarious and needs to be revisted...

anyways, I was using a laptop and had an exterrnal mouse hooked up to it, for a few minutes anyways, grabbed the thing, started swining from it's "Tail" and wailed it off the desk/wall and it shattered. Pieces of mouse flew back at me, it was dumb, but, it felt a bit better.

Most people on this board just hurt their cat.
MSsunshine has been trying to kill his for 10 years, and probably would have succeeded if not for the fear of Granny's wrath

I've thrown a couple Dell CRT's which were about $700 a piece at the time off my desk when I was trading stocks for a living.

I used to smash mouses regularly playing poker. I buy these old Logitech Mouseman by the box-there like $10 a piece-for me I havent found a more comfortable mouse.

Dumbest thing I ocassionaly do with poker is I'll wing a Pilot Precise pen and have it explode-which is not too cool.

I've really toned it down thu in the last year or so. I'm getting too old to get that pissed off...and whenever you do usually get that pissed off you cant play afterwards--so you are just setting yourself up for a tougher day then you've already had.

Also forgot to mention that I've ruined more than 2 lcd screens on brand new Dell laptops by winging them across a room. Maybe thats why I never replaced that 2nd laptop I bought 2 years ago -really moronic.

haha I'm reading this thread after posting(bad habit)..another toy that has occasionally been abused is the tv remote-it's currently taped together and works aok.

Also I forgot the one thing I stil do in the last couple years is this ..I smash a calculater every 3-4 months. I went to Staples and bought like a half dozen as backups. The Xerox XRX-230 are great little desktop calculaters.

thats about all I can think of right now.

never broken anything...but i've beaten a few things (mouse, keyboard, etc) I did throw my copy of SSH out of my room and against the wall in the hallway in a fit of joy once awhile back. Thing held up like a champ tho.
