Need a Break?

If creative frustrations are getting the better of you, Sarah's Smash Shack in San Diego has the solution for your aggravation.

And it's a smashing success.

In specially designed "break rooms," you can demolish plates and glasses--wearing safety gear, of course--and someone else cleans up mess. Then you can donate the broken bits to artists for use in mosaics. Responding to customer demand, the entrepeneurs even offer mobile smashing sessions.

The beauty of destruction? Satisfied smashers say letting loose with breakables releases stress and anger and leaves them feeling free.

Don't knock it 'til you've broken it.
