Have you heard of a man who has shot his Laptop?

George Doughty a 48-year-old from Lafayette, Colorado, was working in an office when he walked next door into the bar he owned and announced to patrons that he was going to shoot his laptop computer, local newspapers said.
Mr Doughty then reportedly warned customers to cover their ears, before shooting the laptop four times.
He later hung the hapless computer on his bar wall in the style of a hunting trophy, police said.
It was the first time someone had shot a computer because he was upset with it."
Police added that because Mr Doughty put customers and the bartender in danger, he was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing, reckless endangerment and prohibited use of weapons, before being released to appear in court on a later date.
Mr Doughty admitted in police reports that he should not have shot his laptop, but said that at the time it had seemed appropriate.



I guess you all have never had that feeling... lol. Tell us some of the things you have felt like doing to your computer.

A German guy threw his computer out of a window!

I've felt like doing the same many times, though interestingly only with my Windows PC, not with my Macbook
