They're all pretty funny except the one about the lightning strike. That would really break someone's heart considering how mundane the task appeared to be in the first place...

I just can't understand why people are so wreckless with their tech gear when angry. I had a customer (back when I did custom-built PCs) who I saw punching his monitor not a few days after I built the machine for him.. Then there are the people who kick their towers. Ugh. Sure, you are angry, but you aren't going to be any happier when you realize you just trashed 2000+ USD.

when i was younger i used to kick my tower all the time. i cant remember why. i remember it left black marks all over the front of it. good times.
