    my stepdaughter just did the same thing,got pissed off hit a tree and broke her hand. you can't win against a tree. hit something that is going to give. I dated one of those giant girls, she had that disease that made andre the Giant so big. Scottish too, so she used to punch holes in the trailer walls when she was mad,from outside to inside, and hurl pots and pans at me. I ended that relationship quick. 250 pounds and six four,and not fat. what do that call that disease again where it turns people into giants? sad thing is I have no idea if she's alive,it gives the people who have it weak hearts, so combine that with a temper.

    I love this thread!

    Funny story...

    1999 Billetproof in Oakland, I was hanging with the Swanx in Vallejo and since my car wasn't road worthy, Brewsir let me and my brother n law (also in the Swanx) borrow a 23 T-bucket he had recently bought so that we had something to drive to the show in. Brewsir hadn't really gone through the car but it ran fine and since we caravanned to the show, we really werent worried about it. A few of the guys went home after the show and the rest of us went to the after party.

    On the way home my brother n law wanted to go fast and we lost our group. We ended up going home a different way then they did and sure enough we broke down. There was no power going to the wheels so we knew somthing major had broken. We used a freeway phone about 5 minutes away from the Bay Bridge, called a tow truck. The tow truck driver comes hauling ass down the free way and you could tell that he was not in a good mood. As he's hooking us up he tells us that he was about to end his 14 hour shift but he got our call and had to take it. Then I had to break him the news that he had to tow us from San Francisco to Benicia (about 45 minutes).

    Right as we get on the bridge he lookes at his rear view mirror and starts cussing up a storm. The pumpkin on the T-Bucket had gone out and the wheel and axle start sliding out and is starting to take up another lane. He slams on the breaks (on the bridge) gets out and says that we have to help him put the car on a dolly. There are people honking at us and the TT driver is getting even more PISSED, a car full of Oakland skanks start cussing at him and he runs after them with a crow bar on the Bay Bridge. He comes back all winded and gets this 8 foot pry bar thing to leverage the car onto the dolly and it slips and smaks him right in the face. While holding his face, he starts cussing and yelling saying "I BROKE MY F****ing NOSE!!!". As we finish loading the car onto the dolly some wise guy slows down and tells the TT driver that his face is bleeding so the TT driver loses it and grabs the nearest thing to him (a toolbox full of tools) and throws it at the car, misses and his toolbox goes over the bridge, then he starts cussing some more cause he just threw away a bunch of his favorite tools.

    I then had the pleasure of sitting bitch in the tow truck next to this pissed off redneck tow truck driver who i thought was going to drive off the Bay Bridge or cut my throat. Longest ride ever! As soon as the tow truck left we burst out in tears laughing cause we couldn't the whole time it was happening.

    I talked to someone who threw a wrench and it punched a hole in a spray paint can. He was not planning to paint his garage, tools, and car that day but he did. I try to remember that story and not make more of my own.

  4. My internet service was screwing up on me and I was trying to get something done. I type slow, so it takes a while to write out a few paragraphs. Well every time I'd try to go to the next page, the computer would freeze up, and I'd have to restart it. I would lose everything I was doing. After the 5th time of this happening, and over an hour later, I'd had enough.

    I smashed my fist down on the keyboard very hard. Enough to make it hurt my hand. And hard enough to send the keys flying in all different directions all over the room.

    I didn't find a couple of them for a few days. Now certain buttons don't work so good..

    I was working on a hood of a car that I was rebuilding I had several hours invested and it looked worse than when I started. I lost my cool and slammed the air tool in the center of the hood destroying the hood. I did not know my wife was looking out the window as I realest My frustrations on the hood. She yelled out the window and ask now what are you going to do now! Simple I am going to by another hood , dam it made me feel good. Some times it helps to vent!
     
  6. I'm pretty sure this one was drunk at the time. I don't think she had any special diseases, just a great big girl that in a Carhart, jeans and boots looked like a dude with long hair until you got close enough to see no sign of a beard. (learning to be sure to look for shit like that is a story for a whole other thread). What scared me is she'd already had someone's baby. Then again alcohol's been getting ugly people laid pretty much since it was invented, so...


    I used to get mad and throw things or punch things fairly often. Never really injured myself, fortunately, no particular story sticks out, although when I was doing brakes on my truck which still had the rusty wheel arches, I got pissed off of catching my hair on the edges, whipped out the grinder and cut all the rough edges away in a long line. It was like that until I cut the bottom of the quarter off and replaced it entirely with another one. Mostly that's where it goes these days, when I get pissed at something I'm trying to take apart and go overboard at it. But I buy a lot of Harbor Frieght tools, so I have to be careful, because those damned things can break when you're trying to use them the way you're supposed to.

    Our store was located on main street, sharing the building with a groocery store. Just so happened the shop was alongside the meat dept; granted; securely seperated by a brick wall and a few glass block windows...so you would think. While setting up a boring bar a very frustrated person heaved the 3/4in. ratchet in disgust that penetrated the glassblock, into the neighboring meat room and onto the display case. This in itself was bad enough...being the day before Thanksgiving added to the flavor!!

    two days after christmas 2006 i got into a fight with my dad over my car/exgirlfriend/brother. things got heated and i figured that it would hurt less to punch the wall, rather than my dad....... well turns out i found a shear wall (plywood,not drywall) i hit that wall and my ears let me know exactly what happened...... they popped my hand went numb and i look at my hand and i see a near compound fracture of the 4th and 5th medicarpals.( the long bones you see on the top of your hand.) so in the heat of the arguement my mom comes in and sees my hand and flipps out at me and dad, all the while im looking at my hand going "WOW THAT DIDNT GO TO PLAN" so my mom turns back to me and i sit on my bed take a deep breath and grab my pinky and ring finger and give them one hell of a pull. i set em and then my hand twitched and popped back out. THAT WAS THE WORST PAIN IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!! hands down. so while trying to keep my mom from passing out i told her it was time to go to the er. we get there and the drs say oh well we cant do anything for you today you have to wait til tomorrow. fast forward a week and its surgery time. two years two titanium plates and twelve screws later, i still feel the effects of that night. but the cool part was i got the anestesiologist(sp) to take pics of the surgery.

    Oh yeah. Just like everyone else on here I have thrown wrenches and ratchets into the street in a fit of rage. I dont do that much anymore because its freakin embarrasing when I have to walk out in front of the neighbors and pick them up
    Now its mostly verbal. I know words that that can make the most seasoned Vet cringe. And I can make whole sentences out of swear words. When I get on a tear you can hear my next door neighbors windows shutting.
    But the one that everyone here still talks about is the weed eater event. I hate weed eaters and the GD line that is supposed to advance by tapping it on the ground. What a load of BS. It never works right. One day I am in an exceptional mood and this piece of crap just kept testing my patience. I would tap it and it would get jambed up. I'd fix it and all was well for a few feet and then the same thing again. Finally I swung it around like an Olympic hammer thrower and let the SOB fly. It went down the street until it hit the end of the extension cord. It fell in the middle of the street and I let the SOB lay there for a couple of hours. Finally I went and got it listening to the laughs of my friends.
    I am so glad I mellowed with age (yeah right LOL)

    Sometimes I have a really bad disposition when working on something troublesome, but I think I am getting better, I don't have big fits very often, and I usually only destroy stuff that I have just accidentally ruined...

    Was working on my 34 Chevy put a big ol deep skratch into my newly painted running board. Walked off a bit and grabbed an old golf club we had laying around and pounded it once on the floor. It broke in half and the head of the club went flying through the windshield of my Dads motorcycle.
