I try to make allowances for youth with this stuff. When we're young we do all sorts of stupid stuff as we try to get comfy with ourselves. But some people don't grow out of it.
It's right down there with the 'I got so mad I drove my fist half an inch into a brick wall' guys. I've heard that one about four times over the years from various fanboys, some who were old enough to know better than to come out with something so stupid. Having punched a van myself, and having to deal with the sore knuckles and aching hand for a week afterwards (the van was ok, not even a mild dent) I would be more likely to believe the statement if they followed it with, "Broke my bloody hand of course, felt like a total fuckwit."
I have used the, "I'm so crazy!" line, but only sarcastically. I always think of Rik from The Young Ones carrying on about how decadent they are when I use it.
