You're allowed to completely destroy one inanimate object at work, home, or your place of study...
It can belong to yourself, a family member, a coworker, or a friend.

What object gets the crap beaten out of it and why?

For me, it would an absolutely hideous Disney coffee mug that my wife insists gets a place of honor on our dining room table. I am not a big fan of the Dinsey corporation to start with, but glitter circles around a smiling Mickey Mouse face on a purple and pink background is just too much "pep" first thing in the morning.

3. at one place I worked
....my coworkers and I were assigned the duty of clearing out the obsolete and broken electronics from the store room, including things like printers. They were just going to the dumpster, so we destroyed them in the parking lot. It was one of the greatest things I've ever done.

5. At a stereo shop I worked at
We had to destroy TVs that were being disposed to make sure the dangerous crap had time to smoke out before being put in the dumpster.

The leadership approved method?

Put the TV on a big wooden stand in the parking lot, take about 20 steps backwards, and throw a sledgehammer through the screen.

Most fun part of my day on that job.

11. oh, that's great
I remember one drunken new year's my friends dropped an old TV out of the window.... no sledge hammer though - that's the best part.

6. Fuck, I love that movie.
The scene after the printer destruction, when Samir does the windmill while they're dancing, kills me every time.

4. The big plastic Bush/Cheney cup on the desk of the co-worker in the next cube.
I also want to squish her creepy little silver fetus feet that are pinned to the cube wall.

10. Alarm here, as well
The one that signals the end of one class, the start of the next. Every 50 minutes it screams at us. If you're in the hall near it when it goes off, it induces panic, and I can't help ducking and scrunching up my face in agony.
