Worst thing you have broken via rage?

[BVP246]

i broke my TV once via rage

When my ex was at his gaslighting top pinnacle of existence I threw an entire casserole down on the table and it smashed to pieces.....
those marks are still on my dining table
And it reminds me every day how lucky I am to be separated from him and bring up my children in peace

Sometimes I raise a glass to them

My knee. Stormed off in anger and became a cropper.

Not in a rage, or any anger, but more as an emphasis to a point or a punchline of a joke I was making to my kids one dinner time. I slammed my hands down on the table, palm side down, and at that very second realised I was wearing my beautiful Murano glass ring. I couldn't bear to look at it for a second or two. Still not fixed it [cry]

I threw a Christmas cacti at DH first year of our marriage it sailed through open patio door. He picked it up split in two replanted both. 43 years later we have two enormous cacti. We repotted one this week and laughed about it

@Firstruleofsoupover I was a door biter in my teens, too. My mother was livid when she saw the toothmarks - reminding me that it was her door in her house and not for me to destroy.

Nothing! Not an angry person really.

DH is one of those people who refuse to argue. In our younger days it infuriated me more that he wouldn’t argue back.
One evening after some disagreement I decided that was it and I was off to a hotel. I marched down to my car followed by a bemused DH who watched as I tried desperately every which way to get a suitcase in the boot of my fiat 500.
Eventually the stupidity of it dawned and I just burst out laughing.

My vagina... two hours of rage and hate fuelled fucking after a particularly bitter row and it was sore for a week afterwards. In my defence, it was a long time ago.

That is quite disturbing.

Egg timer, straight through a window.

Was playing Dark Souls 3 on the Xbox (if anybody has played Dark Souls you will know why this happened).

I get the urge to throw my laptop out of the window semi-regularly when I get told that my password is wrong, go through all the rigmarole of answering security questions to reset it only to be told 'password cannot be the same as pervious password' (I'm looking at you, student loans company, particularly). Luckily I can't afford to replace it so I've never actually acted upon the urge.

I smashed the glass door couple times as a teen and then later in my twenties also the wooden one when slamming them to hard full of anger.🤐

I've never broken anything - feel like I need to break something now!

I threw my n95 at the wall. It was a Nokia so of course it didn't break though 😁

I threw a pan of spaghetti at an ex. Luckily for him I'd just drained the boiling water off it.

I broke a cooked Pizza - frisbee'd it across the kitchen where it hit the wall and dribbled it's topping all the way down it. I can't remember exactly why but it was totally out of character for me and sparked by an infuriating (Eeyore-esque) DP at the time.

Oooh I have thrown something in a rage! GameCube controller, while playing Mario Sunshine. Didn’t break though

2 x PlayStations. 1 thrown out of a bedroom window, 1 thrown out of the back door into the garden. In my defence, I was severely provoked and yes, I did feel bad afterwards and replace them .

I have also stamped on or smashed at least of each DC’s phones. Again completely provoked and also replaced.

Provoked, my arse. Don't be such a fool

@PokerFaceGrace God help your kids, you sound unhinged.

That is disgraceful. There is no "defence" for that behaviour. You are setting your children an appalling example. Lets hope they don't mirror your behaviour. You either have serious anger management issues or are not coping generally. Either way you need to address your outbursts and coping mechanisms with someone. I can only imagine what your neighbours think and feel so sorry for your DC's.

I was never an angry person, but towards the end of my marriage to a cheating, lying bastard, I often felt anger, the like of which i had never experienced, surging up through my body, it frightened me, and i thought that I might really hurt him. so i collected a pile of old side plates and saucers, and kept them handy, under the sink, and when I felt the surging anger start, I would go and smash some saucers, until I felt in control again.

I've never broken anything in anger but I am a clumsy oaf and have broken many things by accident 🤣 the worst thing I've ever broken was my foot in 2 places slipping off the bottom step, rushing downstairs with a basket of washing before work

A vintage butter dish. I smashed the lid down so hard the plate broke.
Stressed school and work morning.

Nothing. It doesn't take me that way.

I agree. @PokerFaceGrace’s type of rage (the same objects, twice each, kids’ stuff, possibly provoked by them not listening to instructions because they’re too wrapped up in their gadgets) has to be unhealthy for any children watching. The message it sends is “do as I say or I will break your belongings”, and “I’m so angry with you right now that I’m going to break something you value highly”.

An adult can work out consequences and contextualise that behaviour, and know not to copy it or take it any further. But children might not have that ability. They would just see an adult modelling that kind kind behaviour and risk bringing it into their own lives at an early age. It could lead to worse things as they continue to grow.

Thinking about it, it’s the uncontrolled rage that’s affecting. Anger is a normal human response, I think. But to lose your mind with anger - that’s potentially concerning.

Not to pick on @PokerFaceGrace by this, of course. No idea what the background or context is, and lord knows children know exactly how to push our buttons sometimes. They certainly can be infuriating!

@PokerFaceGrace Provoked in what way?
