how come they do that?

― Hans Jonson, Friday, 19 March 2004 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Better than punching her, really

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 19 March 2004 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

that was my reasoning anyway.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

except it was actually a brick wall and then i turned green and well, you know the rest.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Hulk smash Outkast!

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 19 March 2004 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm picturing jess with his jacket over his shoulder, leaving yet another town he's upset with his opinions

Punching walls instead of punching someone is very classic, as it makes you go "Ah shit", and shake your knuckles for the next fifteen minutes, which tends to diffuse the situation.

Punching windows is TERRIBLY dramatic, she'll look after yr bleeding fist and then you look all intense and sexy

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

you dont wanna get mixed up with a guy like me

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I punched a window once, I have a scar on my wrist that looks like a plug socket as a result.

That was stupid.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

It kind of reminds me of the "Take on Me" video, even though he was slamming into the wall instead of really hitting it.

As in 'All the Real Girls'...?

i think punching anything in the middle of an argument is a sign of probable mental instability

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

did i just kill fun?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I'm inclined to agree.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, duh.

ha ha

ironing, etc

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

i do admit once in college i got so mad during an argument i threw a can of chunky new england clam chowder soup against a wall so hard it exploded

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I would never have thought you had it in you.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Where does smashing video console controllers into the wall figure into all this?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

depends on yr age at the time, i think.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

when my nintendo finally, completely stopped working i drop kicked it across the lawn, but i was 14.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I got so mad once, about three months ago, that I actually ripped my t-shirt off, hulk-style. more hulkamaniac style, really. but i felt really stupid afterward. it wasn't a fight with anyone though, it was work-related. I wasn't at work though. And I was really struggling with not smoking.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Classic if you're playing against your girlfriend, I guess.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:14 (twenty-two years ago)

So you ripped your own shirt?

Someone post that picture of Pink, I can't be bothered to find it.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, just grabbed with both hands at the collar and pulled. Not so coincidentally, it had the workplace I was so upset with's logo on it. But it was still pretty infantile.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

God I hope no-one thinks I'm being SERIOUS, like EVER

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone post that picture of Pink, I can't be bothered to find it.

Tho that window thing can work

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

i think punching anything in the middle of an argument is a sign of probable mental instability

If both sides of the argument would follow standard rule of logic and rational debate, the above statement would be true.

― Stuart (Stuart), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not like everything can't be perfectly well explained w/words!Silly old men.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Surely it was Hucklemania, Huck?

I once knocked a door of it's hinges rather than hit my girfriend. I also slapped, not hit, the wall. It really really stung.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Nearly two months ago, I also (in a fit of Hucklemania, thanks S/Nick) kicked a garbage can outside the laundromat. Turns out it was made of stone. I'm pretty sure I broke my foot, but it's mostly okay now.
But I realized shortly after that I probably need to handle my anger better.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Friday, 19 March 2004 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I once punched up a wall *because of* my girlfriend, but not during an argument as such. It was during the weeks following the release of 'Fight Club'...

― Strachey, Friday, 19 March 2004 15:58 (twenty-two years ago)

what about guys fighting walls when having punch with girlfriends?

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

(bad acid parties, basically)

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

what about just punching Pink Floyd?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

'Guys Punching Walls When Fighting With Girlfriends' actually sounds like one of those 'wittily' titled mash-ups, this time featuring Brian Setzer, D12, N Sync and Radiohead

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

my old roommate punched a locker at work after getting into an argument with some crackhead customer he thought was stealing stuff.

gave himself a nice boxer fracture doing that, and began to clue him in to the fact that he had problems managing aggression.

he also found out that taking one of his vicodin with a glass of wine let you "melt into a puddle on the couch for about 6-12 hours".

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I read that as Brian Sewell, stevem, which I think would be much better.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

oh i've done the punch the wall thing AFTER the argument was over and i was alone. i wonder if the hole is stil there, actually...

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

A friend of mine punched through a glass shower door when he had driven to another city for a recording session and it got cancelled. Messed up his hand pretty bad.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought you were supposed to punch pillows in this situation, and then cry and sob into them quietly while listening to Dan Hill records (this is what I imagine all 70s educational films 'for troubled teens' to be like).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Fighting with pillows?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

in highschool my girlfriend used to punch trees or walls or whatever was around till her knuckles were all bloody and pulpy. i picked up the habit for a few months. it's really embarrassing going back home to my mom's house. there's a 3knuckle dent in my bedroom wall.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

one good thing about entanglements with musicians is that you can smash their shitty bands' records/cds when you're mad (make sure that shards are all cleaned up though before you walk around barefoot, ouch).

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i ruffled some clothes roughly once, when i couldnt find my book

Didn't Tom Petty punch a wall and fuck up his hand? No more free-falling.

― andy, Friday, 19 March 2004 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

well clearly this is dud.

however, punching a wall in a bowling alley because your piss drunk is classic.

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Friday, 19 March 2004 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)

My brothers have punched plenty of walls in their time.

Even more impressive is the fact that one of them was thrown into a bedroom wall by his girlfriend in the middle of an argument, damaging not one but both sides of dry wall. Another time the same brother fell out of a window (a ground floor window, but still).

STATESBORO, Georgia (AP) -- A couple who got into a dispute over a theological point after watching "The Passion of the Christ" were arrested after the argument turned violent.

The two left the movie theater debating whether God the Father in the Holy Trinity was human or symbolic, and the argument heated up when they got home, Melissa Davidson said.

"It was the dumbest thing we've ever done," she said.

Davidson, 34, and her husband, Sean Davidson, 33, were charged with simple battery on March 11 after the two called police on each other. They were released on $1,000 bail.

According to a police report, Melissa Davidson suffered injuries on her arm and face, while her husband had a scissors stab wound on his hand and his shirt was ripped off. He also allegedly punched a hole in a wall.(!!!!)

"Really, it was kind of a pitiful thing, to go to a movie like that and fight about it. I think they missed the point," said Gene McDaniel, chief sheriff's deputy.

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 19 March 2004 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

haha a couple turning violent after two hours of watching a film about a crazy man in a beard getting tortured to death, imagine

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 19 March 2004 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I was friends with this real unstable kid growing up and whenever he'd get into arguments, he'd smash his head against a fence or something and say "STUPID STUPID STUPID"

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Friday, 19 March 2004 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

How about punching a window when you intended to punch a wall, and ending up with ten stitches laterally down your wrist so everyone ever after thinks it was some failed suicide attempt?

(Incidentally, I once worked with a street kid who punched his anger management counselor, haha... rage is a funny thing.)

― David A. (Davant), Friday, 19 March 2004 23:20 (twenty-two years ago)

my hubby bunched a window too and and the glass ript his tendons

― Emma williams (Emma williams), Friday, 19 March 2004 23:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Does this really happen outside of the movies?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 19 March 2004 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes. I remember one evening at university which I spent plucking shards of glass out of a wanker's hand as he bled all over my kitchen.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex, I'm not exactly proud of it, so... yeah, it happens.

― David A. (Davant), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

The one time I did this, we had a really terrible row, I mean a real screamer, and I got so angry, I punched the living room door, and my hand went right through it! (it wasn't - actually isn't, I should say, b/c I fixed it - a very strong door, I'm not like mighty hercules or s.th.) Never again. If we get horrible w/each other, I'll leave the house for a couple of hours.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

my hubby did it cos he was drunk he used 2 do that sort of thing alot mm he dont drink no more as far as i know and hope

― Emma williams (Emma williams), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Emma, I don't know if this is better or worse, but I wasn't drunk at the time. Probably should've gotten drunk instead (long story short -- we'd just heard we were being evicted and I was a) mad at the landlord and b) mad at my g/f for not being mad enough, which is... well, mad).

― David A. (Davant), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I think what it's really saying is:

"You make me so mad but look - I'm hurting myself punching the wall instead of you. But if itWERE YOUR PRETTY HEAD then you'd probably be in hospital right now, so you should be nice to me."

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not sure I really think that, but I like to get all hardcore feminist about gender relations sometimes.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

mt gf kicked in my practice amp and threw it out the window when we were fighting once

― kephm, Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Were there musical differences?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:02 (twenty-two years ago)

N, what if the girl wasn't even aware of the wall punching? My friend in HS got enraged during a phone conversation w/his gf, went outside, punched a tree, and busted his hand. She never knew about it.

"You make me so mad but look - I'm hurting myself punching the wall instead of you. But if itWERE YOUR PRETTY HEAD then you'd probably be in hospital right now, so you should be nice to me."

But there's not enough time to formulate all that, it's just an instant. It's probably just testosterone or something. But also, everyone's different, and I can imagine some guys wanting that message to get across. Being honest, that kind of coded message just didn't occur to me. And I've never hit a girl/woman since I outgrew sibling rivalry with my sister! Hitting (other than windows, or in self defence) is not really something I do.

― David A. (Davant), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

One of my exes punched his fist through a glass front bar cabinet while we were fighting. He sliced his hand up proper and passed out while I was trying to administer first aid. He's a drummer and was on the disabled list for awhile afterwards. dumb.

Same guy also shattered a vintage lamp and punched a hole through our bedroom door. Like was said upthread, at least it wasn't me.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

"windows"?

― David A. (Davant), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

haha i did that once, i'm a girl! except it wasn't a wall, it was a window. i didn't even get cut! i'd say lame. if they piss you off that much cut em loose.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, dumb. Embarrassing. I remember the hospital staff walking very carefully around us (my g/f was kind enough to drive me to Emergency), checking to see if we smelled of alcohol, asking questions that pointed toward suicide attempts, etc. Totally embarrassing.

― David A. (Davant), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha, never underestimate estrogen and progesterone: Girls get mad, too! That testosterone comment of mine was stupid and simplistic now that I think about it.

― David A. (Davant), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Punching/throwing things at walls is classic except when one lives in a shitty apartment with cheap walls. I plan to use the "all these holes were here when I moved in, motherfucker!" argument.

― adam (adam), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i put a hole in a wall trying to move my piano. that fucking piano! i coulda wrung its scrawny neck!

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Men use testosterone as an excuse for their aggression and socially construct myths about estrogen and progesterone to cast women in the role of hysterical, irrational creatures.

Hmm.. I think maybe I can only have one of these.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 20 March 2004 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Pity, both very nearly make sense.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 20 March 2004 02:12 (twenty-two years ago)

During a phone argument I once threw the phone against a brick wall. Problem solved.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Saturday, 20 March 2004 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I've so wanted to do that many times.

I used to hit walls; i once put my hand through a door (it was cheap student house door). I used to think I was being 'good' (ie, violence against inanimate objects is OK, cos they're inanimate) but this was a lie i told myself. The truth was, getting so made that i needed to cathartically release througha physical expression was the basic problem, and the subtext of my violent reaction to the other person was as N. intimates; it was a violent act against them as they felt that I was kind of saying 'you'd be next'. I never drew the link between feeling disturbed by violence in a pub or in the street (ie, not on my, but in front of me). I've chilled out now though. This was the key.

In short - cos we're have major wanker tendencies.

― Dave B (daveb), Saturday, 20 March 2004 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I punched some astroturf once because I let in a goal.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 20 March 2004 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

buckled my hand.

my dad punched through a wall in my house when my mum told him his XR2 had been stolen. ha!
