If you are a stressed-out woman living in Shenyang, China, you might want to consider a visit to the women only "venting store." This store is located in a local mall and provides women one minute each to smash and break whatever they want.
The mall offers a voucher to the women only venting store if the customer spends a certain amount of money in the mall. Each customer is provided with a motorcycle helmet and a one-minute time limit to smash to their heart’s content.
I like this idea a lot. Letting people take their anger out on inanimate objects is way better than having them take it out on people.
