I have a rattling airconditioning vent in my office. I got fed up and slid a chair under it. I started hitting it with my ruler and the rattling stopped....
What have you hit to "fix" a problem. (no people please)

Yeah. My 9 month old son got really sick one time. We had taken him to the Doctor that day, but that night his breathing became labored , his fever spiked and he went into convulsions with his eyes rolling back in his head. We rushed him to the hospital where he actually died twice and had to be revived in the emergency room. When they finally got him stable, I went to the break room to get my wife and I something to drink. The drink machine took my money. I had left the house so fast, all I had on was my pants; no shirt, no shoes and only a small amount of change in my pocket. I kind of snapped and said, “Now isn’t this just GREAT!” I reared back and slammed the back of my elbow into the machine. The machine promptly dropped out $3.50 in change. I then got the drinks and some chips. My son by the way is now 21 yrs old and a United States Marine.

I really should get these repaired or looked at: the phone must be lifted and dropped about an inch after picking up the receiver, before a connection is accomplished; one of the TVs has to be smacked on the side to return the red-tone screen to normal.

Seems I hit everything that stops working before buying a new one or getting the old one repaired. Cd Player, DVD Players I ended up breaking the drawers off of both of them. Many other things.

My TV, it's a little old. When I cut it on with the remote sometimes it comes on and goes right back off. So I walk up to it and give it a "good" smack on the side. Then I press power and it works fine.
Have you fixed something you broke( ex. a chair) and when the next person goes to sit in it and it falls you and let them think they broke it. I used to as a kid it brings back memories (lol).

Several months ago I had a crappy little car. I could not get it started and needed to get the kids to school. I left the key in the ignition got out and hit the hood of the car and yelled "Start!" Since the key was in the ignition and the door was open it started making a buzzing sound. I got in and it started! I also asked God to help me out. See people He does exist.

Unless it's gone to that great repair center in the sky, almost anything will respond positively to a good whack. The trick is to know where to whack.

I hit my computer monitor once. It flew right off the stand and broke into three pieces (the base). When I put it back together, it worked great.

Words I live by: "If all else fails, hit it with a hammer."
My car doesn't start sometimes, and I pop the hood and smack the starter with a tire iron, and the thing starts!
