I have never gotten angry enough to literally smash something (and I have enough self-control to keep myself from doing so even if I really want to); the most I do is just bang my hand on the desk.
That being said, I can tell you that a string of shit-misses, especially after getting far into a song, are a sure-fire way to rile me up. Even moreso if it's at a difficulty level I think I should easily be SS-ing and for some reason I'm just not.
If I can pinpoint something wrong on my end (I can tell I tapped too early/late, or obviously misread where a note would be), that's one thing, though.
