I remember a customer at Best Buy back in 89’. He had a cassette walkman that was broke and wanted it replaced. With no receipt or proof of purchase he was not happy when the gal at customer service told him “no”. He turned 90 degrees to his right and facing a painted cinderblock exterior wall about 15 feet way wound up and overhand pitched the walkman as hard as he could at the wall exploding it into a hundred pieces.  
I think we were all too awed at how awesome it was to do anything about it as he just proceded to walk calmly out of the store.
