“Stress balls have greater effectiveness when thrown at those who cause you the most stress”

Stress balls are hand exercise balls.

“Stress balls have greater effectiveness when thrown at those who cause you the most stress” was posted on Twitter by Jack Reynard (and others) on June 18, 2015. The joke probably originated on the Sickipedia website. “Stress balls have greater effectiveness when thrown at those who cause you the most stress” was posted on Sickipedia on June 17, 2023.

Wikipedia: Stress ball
A stress ball or hand exercise ball is a malleable toy, usually not more than 7 centimetres (2.8 in) in diameter, which is squeezed in the hand and manipulated by the fingers, ostensibly to relieve stress and muscle tension or to exercise the muscles of the hand. Patrick Hummel is widely understood to have created the stress ball in central Indiana in the mid-1980s.
