Almost a quarter of impatient UK computer users confessed that they would buy a new computer rather than fixing an IT trouble.

A survey that had been conducted by Virgin Media's Digital Home Support Service found that 63% of impatient British people shout at their computer screens out of frustration if they encounter any kind of IT problem. If the computer freezes or crashes, they are unable to control their temper and shout at the screens.

Could it get any worse than that? Well yes. A 58% of crazy computer users confessed by swearing on their machines, that they abuse their computers with the most negative and abusive words, and 27% have even punched their machines.

The survey also established that women are more prone to search for advice regarding their computer woes, while men are much more inclined to lash out in fury or rage.

It is not just the computers which bear the rage of these crazy people, almost a quarter of them, who had been polled, blamed some relative or friend for the troubles they had been facing with their computer.
