There's no end to the benefits of the common baseball bat.
In Diyarbakır, Hamza Durmaz has transformed his anger problem
into a business opportunity by opening "Öfke Evi" (Anger House),
where people can come to relieve pent-up stress and anger by
smashing things like old TV sets, refrigerators, washing machines,
guitars (!) or whatever else they happen to find.
Hamza bey seen here before he opened "Anger House".
Durmaz related that "most of my customers are couples, who have
problems at work or are fed up with traffic snarls." They act out their
stress-relief in soundproof rooms that are monitored by cameras,
wear protective clothing and use baseball bats for the smashing.
"Öfke" even sounds like an angry word.
However (!), psychologist Hayriye Müjde Erçetin cautioned that
"anger houses can provide temporary stress-relief but not a long-term
solution for someone with anger-management problems."
Stressful neighborhood anyway...
