That's what I did yesterday as well. I have scars on my knuckles right now.

Better than metal screws holding your bones together.

One of these days the wall punchers might hit a stud where the screw/nail is and end up with broken knuckles.

What if you're angry....at the drywall?

In that case, you should punch a person, preferably someone living in the household.

Ummmm....don't fix any holes until you finish your anger management course...then you can fix 'em all at once.

It's a shame you didn't end up breaking your hand by punching the wall beams.

Durabond 90 Joint Compound

• Sandable in 90 minutes, so you can apply a few coats in one day.
  
• Use what you need and save the rest for later... you'll probably be needing it.

you must have been a pussy just to put a dent in the drywall instead of a hole.

I suppose. But of course this raises the issue of anger management

duct tape a pillow to the wall for punching

Funny story about this--buddy of mine in college used to always yell at me for getting drunk and knocking holes in his walls, so one day he comes to my house and decides to get really drunk and punch one of his own. He asks permission first, and I could care less (my housemates and I used to knock the **** outta that wall, so it needed to be repaired anyway).

He backs up, takes a running start, and BAM! He goes silent. Kinda turns around, looks a little pale, and runs out the door. We're all too drunk to think much of it, so no biggie.

Next morning I wake up to a phone call from him asking me to drive him to the local xray technician. He apparently caught a stud with his pinky and ring-finger knuckles, and his hand was so swollen when he woke up that he could hardly move it. Attempts to touch his pinky to his thumb resulted in excruciating pain and the sound of bones grinding.

He wound up needing two surgeries and pins to hold the bones together long enough to heal. He literally shattered his hand.

poor bastard...i punched a doorframe several months ago cause i was pissed at my now ex-gf and cracked my pinky knuckle on my right hand...what sucked is i was driving my Z cause my buick was down...and it's a 5 speed...so i was reminded of my stupidity every time i couldn't take my left hand off the wheel to shift
