A couple of weeks before corona, a place opened up at Sirbb Circuit called Smash Hub where you could go and smash things to relieve stress and just have fun. Sadly that place closed down and has been replaced by Padel Courts, but another place similar opened up called Smashing Point.
For 12KD you can put on protective gear and using one of the different tools available, smash 10 glasses (or plates) and one electronic item. They also have a group package where you and a couple of friends can smash things together for 45KD. When I tried this at Smash Hub I had a blast, but haven’t tried Smashing Point yet.
Smashing Point do have a few videos in their Instagram highlight to give you an idea of what the experience looks like. They’re located in Al Tilal Complex in Shuwaikh and are open from 5PM to 10PM. Check them out on Instagram @smashingpointkw

too costly ….
Smashing glasses and plates? weak.
What a waste of resources.
An experiment in community psychiatry: world’s most expensive therapy. I blame it on the inclement weather in Kuwaiti summers that this has become necessary. There may even be an unmet need for precisely this kind of thing. At least, it will be an effective antidote to juvenile delinquency. Middle and senior public schools in Kuwait ought to send their charges here on weekend fellowships and scholarships.
I found restoring old things to be a good therapy for stress relief. I purchased 50s foldable 120 mm film camera for 15$ and without any experience restored clockwork shutter and recalibrated focusing mechanism. I was so proud when developed film looked sharper than hasselblad.
I also restored old vhs player that had its rubber drive belts gunked over years .
Is this normal? I see kids smashing glass bottles in front of the bakalas and its distressing
Yes it’s a normal part of a childhood that’s free from social media and wokeness.
So its normal to smash glass bottles on a public walking path ?
As a kid yeah, who hasn’t smashed a bottle on a wall as a kid
Shocking to see how such things are normalized.. RIP good old manners and civic ettiquettes
