I immediately regret this decision... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

So in the spirit of Christmas, I was doing some illegal downloading last night, and I came across a Trojan. And not the good kind of Trojan like the guys who hum in the contraceptive commercials... I'm talkin' viral issues. Well, I suppose condoms can pertain to viral issues as well... BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Anywho... I got some great virus protection to deal with this, right? Wrong. I get this immediate blue screen that's like 'Prepared for Crash Dump" And I have no idea what that means. But I cooperate. However, I can't start it back up. I keep getting that screen. So eventually, I go into safe mode, and run a scan. It tells me my hard drive is clean. No infections. So I'm like, all right cool.... *Restarts* Same friggin blue screen. So I try safe mode one more time... and here's my new approach. System Restore. To a few days ago. It tells me I can't do that unless I scan my infected drive first. So I scan AGAIN... (at this point, I'm hitting hours of this), and it tells me NOTHING IS INFECTED. Now here comes the part I regret.

I let it do a full scan, and take a nap while doing so. When I wake up, everything seems kosher. So I restart... and i get the blue screen again. At this point, it's 9 AM... and I'm a tidbit perturbed. So in a typical raging testosterone-driven male fashion, I decide I'm gonna haul back, and punch it. Now, I've done this before, and never had issues with previous computers. But what happens here? I shatter the liquid inside my laptop screen, and now I got a big splotch of colors that prevents me from seeing anything.

I guess to make this therapy session more of a topic... Have you ever let your childish anger get the best of ya?

I have at times when I have punched a wall or slammed a door in anger

Oh sure...I kick and throw things occasionally. I don't think I've broken anything though.

imo · 12-27-2008, 03:06 AM

I've broken my laptop, which in turn, has broken my heart

Janice · 12-27-2008, 03:13 AM

Oh yeah. You're only human, and it was a frustrating experience. It's just too bad you damaged something.

I punched my friend's car door before when I was angry... not a smart idea.

catlover79 · 12-27-2008, 11:50 AM

I threw a pair of headphones at my bedroom wall when the Indians lost the 1995 World Series...and of course, they broke.

That's really the only time I can remember throwing anything out of anger.

I've often let my anger get the best of me. It happens...

AND SPEAKING OF LAPTOPS...

I had an Acer laptop that was a piece of crap. I had this huge problem with - I can't recall it now - but I got so angry and frustrated (this was my 8th call to customer service - the first 7 did not resolve my issue) I took it out on this poor customer service guy...of course, he hung up on me and I got so angry I threw the laptop all the way across our bedroom!

To this day I have NO idea how my husband fixed it, but he did - and now it's HIS!

I have torn apart hockey cards and broken hockey sticks whenever things go south for my Sabres.

I also have a bit of an anger issue- I can get really loud and volcanic, but not as bad as others.

Hollow · 12-27-2008, 08:52 PM

i've gone out and bought mirrors for the mere sake of breaking them when i'm depressed because it has an intriguing effect when i'm in that kind of mood, but i never break anything out of frustration or short impulse. once every few blue moons i may slam my hand down on a table but that's it. it's pretty weird, since everyone else in my house throws and breaks everything in sight when something goes wrong. it's a good thing i didn't inherit my dad's anger problem.

I've thrown a plate & busted it when I was mad, but not lately. lol!
I'm afraid my son is going to get a virus downloading music to his mp3 player like you did imo.
