I punish my keyboard almost daily, both at work and at home, and I don't just let my keyboard to the brunt of my anger, but my mouse gets it too. Not only do I punch it, slam it and bash it, I also slam my mouse onto my desk, and went through 3 mice at my last contract, (and I had all 3 hanging from my PC tower as a warning to all future mice!) I get incredibly wound up when a piece of code doesn't work for illogical reasons, (although they always turn out to be logical) and beat my keyboard to teach it a lesson. At home things get worse, not only does it get a beating, but it gets cigarette ash dropped on it, beer and vodka spilt on it, (I now own a waterproof keyboard with special holes for liquids to drip through). I thought that I was bad, but I got up one morning to find that my wife got so wound up at the snails pace that my PC was churning out spotify tunes that she proceeded to punch my monitor, and due to the force of the punch, it just moved the screen back a few inches, so she proceeded to get one arm around the screen, (in the form of a head-lock) and beat the screen so much that her hand was bleeding, and to this date I still have a fine ingrained line of her blood on my screen that won't come out!
