I sincerely hope I never get to that level of frustration. I will quit long before that day.

Is it really worth it?

I slammed the undersides of my fist so many times on my wooden desk that one day the drawers fell apart and made a huge mess on the floor.

I was playing at my parent's farm (dialup only) and lost a HUGE pot holding the nuts on a non-AI protect table when the internet cut out.

My mom's new cordless mouse became a guided missile, not failing to explode on impact...

I think each of you should seriously consider some anger management therapy. Or perhaps drop down in stakes until the money is not as serious to you.

Lol, for me it wasn't the money. It was the frustration of a totally external influence essentially "robbing" me. Even if it was my own stupidity that caused it (not playing on a protected table).

I'd feel the same way if my car was stolen because I failed to lock the doors. I probably wouldn't throw my mom's mouse though... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The parenthetical statement made me laugh out loud. That means you had to be so steamed you went out of your way to find a baseball bat just to smash your keyboard. Why not just do it with your fists?

The worst I've done is I've broken the "f" and "c" keys on my laptop. Oh, and I flung an empty plastic water bottle across the room when my machine decided to die when I had the nut flush and was getting bet into.

Oh, I will also often slap myself really hard on the forehead after making a donk play.
