I relate to it a lot, as I have a history of doing that A LOT. Mostly to video game controllers and laptops.
There's really nothing to understand. When someone is in a fit of rage, logic often goes out the window. You just get a knee-jerk desire to break something, and what ever's closest to you is going to get the brunt of it. You don't think about what you've done until you've already done it.
I think my bipolar meds have really helped me stop breaking my things in fits of rage.
This reminds me of one of my favorite Family Guy gags. Peter's trying to watch TV and he goes, "Oh god, I pushed input! Lois, I think we're going to have to throw away the TV!"
Well presumably you would've been far enough away from the lion that people would just think you're taking a picture of a lion in general, because you're at the zoo, and you're like, "Hey cool, a lion!"
Apparently that's a thing with white girls too, making fun of other kids for having off-brand clothing. Don't think it's a thing with boys though. I never witnessed it, anyway.
Sorry Neko, hope I'm not derailing the thread too much.
I knew you were going to say that but how good/hellish could it have been?
Edit: Wait a minute your first account was from 2004 you didn't see prospero.
