Customers carry their anger to Sarah's Smash Shack in San Diego. She provides dishware, protective gear & the felt-tipped pens that people use to write on the plates they then fling at the walls.

The Smash Shack was the result of a low-point in Sarah's life, when her husband of 12 years left her....She turned to the only way she knew how to relieve her anger....Every morning, she would go out her front door and smash his belongings.

When she moved back to California, she missed that release of anger & she realized that other people might need that form of "therapy" too. The Smash Shack has now become a refuge for frustrated people old & young who wanted an outlet for their aggression.

Ceramic white dinner plates are her biggest seller, because they require a strong toss and break violently against the wall.

"But that's why they came, to throw their frustrations against a wall & walk out the door feeling good."
