Stress Fighter: The .99 Stress Reliever App

Here’s a cool little app that will either:

1. Help you secretly take out your pent-up stress and anger indirectly on a boss/co-worker without running the risk of losing your job.

2. Give you something to do when you need to find something that will take your mind off the fact that you are wasting time on the internet while clocked in.

…or both!

The app is called Stress Fighter for the iPod Touch or iPhone and the little app is just that –  a way to relieve your work-day stress. Simply snap a pic of the person that’s causing you stress. The app lets you put that person’s head on one of eight pre-rendered 3D bodies. You can also upload a pic of your office/cubicle and use it as a background. From there, you pick your weapon of choice (golf club, baseball bat, etc.) and relieve your stress by beating up your rendered image to your heart’s content without losing your job.

“I created Stress Fighter, says Abhijeet Wable, the creator of the app, ”to let people beat up their boss or anyone they don’t like in their office without jeopardizing their job. I mean why wait to take out your frustration on a punching bag at home, when you can do it right in the palm of your hands? You can punch, kick, or throw all your frustrations away in your hands. You can throw a stapler or a pie, to dropping a printer on the person that is basically giving you stress It’s all for fun for just a buck!”

Check out the video to get a better idea of how Stress Fighter works:

The idea for Stress Fighter came from Wable’s own experiences on the job and his need for an outlet to relieve some stress:

“I work at a news station. And let’s just say that working at a news station makes the perfect place to have points of friction between people. Especially in a fast paced news environment. No matter where you work, there will always be a person that thinks and acts like they are a boss of everyone else, even though they’re not. I know quite a few people like that. Instead of shouting back and making things difficult at work I thought to myself, What if there was a way to take out your anger without rocking the boat? That’s where I got the idea for Stress Fighter.”

So if you know somebody in your office that gets on your nerves to no end and you wish there was a way to drop a printer on their head and STILL keep your job; download the Stress Fighter app for $0.99 from the iTunes’ App Store and secretly “get it in” on that person from the comfort of your ergonomically correct cubicle!
