throw a brick at the door

When someone, some thing, or some place offends you enough or is so poor by comparison to another such person, thing or place that the most logical reciprocation, sometimes ironically, is to smash the door with a blunt, heavy, nearby projectile such as a mason's brick, creating an inconvenience (and, if the door was glass, a safety hazard) such that the interested parties are coerced into correcting said problem.
My Aunt's eggs and grits are so good that it makes you want to drive by IHOP and throw a brick at the door.
