Berlin (Germany) - A German man became so frustrated at his computer that he threw it out of his window, and the police reaction was essentially "we understand".

A classic comedic antic was brought to life when the 51-year-old man said he became "annoyed" with his computer.  He hurled it out his window in the middle of the night on Saturday, waking up his next door neighbors.

The neighbors called the police to report the man for disturbing the peace.  Upon arrival, they heard what happened and did not serve him with any charges.

A spokesperson for the German police summed it up by saying, "Who hasn't felt like doing that?"

The angered PC user did have to clean up about a half block's worth of shattered computer parts, but no police report was filed.

"Who hasn't felt like doing that?"

I'd like to be rich and do things like that. Just get pissed, throw the f***er out the window and go buy a new one. That would make me smile....

I can't count how many times I've wanted to hurl one of the @#($* things out the window - especially when dealing with failing hardware. Alas, I've never *quite* been able to bring myself to actually do it.

I've seen a guy bring a laptop in before with a broken screen, he'd punched it in a fit of rage. Then asked us to repair it. LOL

Loved that pun. I have been known to take pictures of my computers or servers to the gun range. I am thinking about taking a bunch of old windows disks on Monday.
