was a grad student for a professor who is a big name in our field. We're both chemists, btw. So when things would get stressful, they had a back room that was a graveyard of old equipment that was broken or defunct, mostly old computers and printers. And a hammer. When things got stressful, it was normal and acceptable in that group to go into the back room and take the hammer to an old printer or something.
