beat against something

I felt my way across the room and beat against the door.

"All I want to do is beat your head against a wall."

It beat against her face and hands like the summer sun.

I've been beating my head against a wall for three years.

I wonder why, she thought as the water beat against her face.

I wanted to literally beat my head against the wall.

I'll keep beating my head against the wall until I get it right.

It felt as if he were beating his hands against a wall.

I tried to stop that, but to do so was beating my head against a wall.

It was like beating against a wall that I couldn't feel.
