I have an enduring fantasy about causing a scene in some public setting, grabbing a bunch of plates and smashing them into pieces. I’m not sure where I might have the occasion to make good on said fantasy, other than maybe a restaurant or a catered event, but fulfilling this dream would be rather cathartic for me.
The wish originates from a friend’s real-life experience. He’s a chef and has frequent access to plates and other dinnerware. He once worked in a restaurant where the rest of the staff and management were schlubby and useless. One day, his frustrations got the best of him, so he smashed some plates before walking out. I’ve been jealous ever since. Just imagine how good that must have felt.
If only I was in San Diego, I could visit Sarah’s Smash Shack. It’s a real, honest-to-goodness business where people can go, select an object for a fee (dishes, glasses, ashtrays and more) and smash away! How awesome is that?! So my plea goes out to Sarah of Sarah’s Smash Shack… Sarah, there’s a lot of folks out here in Michigan who are stressed and could use an outlet. Think you might expand to, say, the Ann Arbor/Detroit market? I think you’d “clean up.”
