At about 5PM yesterday, my left mouse button began playing up. It would stop functioning sometimes, meaning I would have to double or even triple click things to get them to work. As time went by, the issue got worse and worse and my patience grew thinner and thinner. This morning, the mouce ceased to function properly, and would only register clicks when a vast amount of pressure was applied, if at all. At about midday, I had become so frustrated with my mouse that I threw it against a wall and then slammed it on the desk several times in a fit of rage.

This seems to have cured my problem. Anyone else done anything similar?

Whenever my calculator's display dims, I bang it hard on the table and it's sorted out. This also used to work with the older CRT TVs we had

When I bought the computer I use now, it refused to play Ra3 without making loud beeping noises.
After a while, I got so frustrated that I kicked it as hard as I could. This actually stopped the beeping, but only for about 2 hours

My G-shock need a punch when the display dims...

Forcibly "persuading" something to work seems to be a guy thing, though some women have found this useful. Also seems to work to make things fit. Why use the scalpel approach when the hammer's just as easy?

Actually in some cases girls/women will use this approach first even though I sometimes advice agaisnt them (a girl did this to her iPod and had all her data wiped off the HDD not to mention a dent )

I got angry with my downstairs computer. I hit it loads of times and turned it on and it worked

Nid, maybe you had some dirt clogging something and whacking it against a wall cleared it out?

I think misaligned electrical contacts works as a better explanation. Since this isn't particularly spammy I'm moving it

yer my left mouse clicker died on my mouse a month ago so i took it out back and shot it with ab air gun and it exploded into bits it was awesome

CURING hardware issues with rage.

Well, it cured his rage. lol

My calculator dies a lot so I have to hit it repeatedly/slam it on the table/wall/on my palm a lot. I think the battery's loose or something, heh. My acquaintances that borrow my calculator in school also do this, too. I did this while in my end-of-year examination hall, where the bangs echoed so loudly

Meh, rage doesn't solve my pc problems, and I think hitting your pc is a bit stupid. Also, knowing myself, I would have killed the pc with 1 smash

I've had the same thing happen to me with the mouse - I used to have a really old ball mouse and it would stop working sometimes.. At one point I threw it at a wall and tried using it again, and it worked for another half hour or so. So naturally I drew from this situation that throwing things at walls = them working. So my mouse got pretty beat up and eventually I took it apart and fixed it (something had fallen out of place) and then put it back together and it worked. :X
I have anger issues, so when shit breaks my natural reaction is to flip over a desk or throw something at the wall. >_>

It happened me once when the computer in my work stated it doesn't sees the harddisk, then I slammed it and in another restart, it worked , but I generally tend to throw controllers to somewhere when I am extremely hardened on a game , which is another issue
