We have this DVD player at home that my dad bought a couple years ago. It's supposed to be this expensive, top-of-the-line player...but it does. not. work. Seriously, like, halfway through the film (and always on the good spots) it will stop and freeze and then play and then freeze and then play and freeze until finally it just completely freaks out and you can't even turn it off. You have to unplug it. And it's the dvd player hooked up to the big screen TV, so its the one we use the most, especially when we have company over.
My dad refuses to get rid of it and buy another, even though everybody in the house hates this thing. We all call it that "Stupid piece of shit DVD player."
I've always had this daydream of taking a sledgehammer and completely destroying the thing, and then tossing it into the pool and watch water sink into its every oriface, destroying every piece of machinery in it.
But a crowbar would work just as well.
