    Dalek Dave's post below reminded me of the movie Office Space which famously had the scene where they took a nasty laser printer out to a field and smashed it to pieces with baseball bats, but in some ways I think it would be more satisfying to throw something into a big wood chipper and watch the bits blow out the other end. What would be the most satisfying way to get out some aggression on a despised piece of office equipment?

    Either something agonizingly slow. That way it can see just how I felt every day waiting for a document to print. Some weak acid or other corrosive, a nice beer... perhaps an IPA or APA, a warm sunny day that I could just sit out, watch, and relax. If not slow then quick, beat of the heart quick. You know, how fast it SHOULD be when I want to get things done and am in a hurry. Like dropping it off a cliff, that way it can continue to get faster and faster until its terminal end. But with my luck it would bounce.

      I can see it all now: the printer slowly melting as it spews out page after page with increasingly larger font: "I'm not a witch, I'm not a witch!"

              I prefer to haul it into the desert and unload about 6 magazines into it with an AK-47. Very satisfying, though admittedly tedious to clean up.

                                  I just thought of the perfect way: Recreate the Office Space base ball bats in a field and stomping method but hire some smokin hot professional adult entertainers to do the smashing and stomping while I sit back with a beer and watch the mayhem ensue.

                                        Dalek Dave's post below reminded me of the movie Office Space which famously had the scene where they took a nasty laser printer out to a field and smashed it to pieces with baseball bats, but in some ways I think it would be more satisfying to throw something into a big wood chipper and watch the bits blow out the other end. What would be the most satisfying way to get out some aggression on a despised piece of office equipment?

                                        Either instant vaporization with super heated plasma or swinging it around centrifugal style then releasing into a solid titanium-steel-stone wall after which the pieces are gathered, stomped on, excreted on (in that order) then burned.

                                          Myself and a colleage did once replicate the Office Space scene with a vile laser printer. We added baseball bats to the mix. Very refreshing.

                                          After a while they all bug me :doh:
