Last time you lost your temper

    Had this idea today and then realised it had been done before but that was years ago so let's just roll with it. So, when was the last time you lost your temper?

    Happened to me today which sparked this idea. I eat lunch leaning against a locker talking to the people opposite of me. A girl who's locker I was standing in front of asked me to move away which I did, she then continued to push and push the door of the locker against my legs (it's the bottom locker) pinning me kind of against the wall. I told her to cop the f*ck on but didn't lose my temper. I went back into my original place when she left but she soon returned and asked me to move which I did except this time she pulled out a big, fat science exam papers book and slapped me across the chest, started laughing and walked away. I saw red, opened up her locker, grabbed all the books and threw them across the big hallway with sheets and pages flying everywhere and called her a "dumb motherf*cker". :)

    If you lose your temper you lose all respect too.

    By rising above whatever or whoever pisses you off and handling the situation with dignity and a dirty look, you win everything.




    I'm only responding to the thread title by the way. Too late to go trawling through the OP so no idea what's going on in that world.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    I don't think I've ever lost my temper, I'm terrible at expressing emotion like that. I generally bottle it up then bitch about it on the internet.

    So she asks you to move and you did but the door hit against your legs pinning you to the wall. Sounds like you didn't do the best job of moving there.

    this morning, had a crap sleep, woke up on the wrong side of the bed, no milk for tea and burnt my 2 slices of toast, and it was the last of the bread. I nearly feecked the toaster across the room!!

    That's funny because the last time i lost my temper, it happened to me years ago.. I used to eat lunch leaning against a locker talking to the people opposite of me.

    Sounds like a desperate attempt by you to come on here and absorb reassurance you did the right thing - when you know deep down you acted worse than her.

    This has spectacularly backfired for you.

    Backed a horse today and the jockey decided (for reasons only known to himself) to go off like the clappers as if it was a race over 1m4f (it was over 2m6f) thereby exhausting the fcuking horse and ensuring that it had nothing left in the tank at the finish. A seasoned pro and nobody knows why he did it. Cheating a distinct possibility. I got so angry I shouted really bad things at my laptop. Things such as how I'll never back another horse he has his boney little arse up on again, etc etc. I'm not proud.

    I don't think a guy should lose his temper too often.

    The OP lost his temper too quickly, but he's probably like 17 years of age.

    At that age, losing your temper once in a while is fair enough

    That sounds like passive aggression tbh.

    Conveying emotions with a "dirty look" is unlikely to resolve much.

    Not cool for adults.

    17th march 1998. I've served my time and completed my rehabilitation. Won't ever let my temper get the better of me again. Out 6 years now and love everyday of my freedom.
    In my defense she should never have pushed that locker against my leg the dumb mother****er

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭Saralee4


    Was making my husband and myself some nice coddle since its cold out for dinner yesterday and realised he had given all the veg that I planned on using to the pet rabbit.

    I am pregnant and I felt this huge surge of emotion mainly anger because I told him I was using that veg for the dinner. Then I started crying.

    Later he rang me and I told him about it and we both started laughing at how irrational i was being. Now in writing this Im starting to feel a little bit angry about it again. :):):)

    I was getting my stuff out of my locker there and this twit wouldn't move, the door kept bumping off him he was standing so close, the second time it happened I just clattered him with a big science book. He started screaming like a maniac and threw all my stuff on the floor. Ohhhh, I was so angry...and he smells.

    I work in a high-pressure and time sensitive career here in Frankfurt. Other people's mistakes or humming and hawing can have a direct influence on how well I do for my client portfolio. So I'll admit to losing my temper with interns, IT staff, back office team from time-to-time. It's the nature of the role. It blows over quickly and I don't hold onto grudges. I just expect a level of professionalism and dedication from others like I expect from myself. I don't think this is unreasonable.

    Listen, losing your temper might be seen as inappropriate if you work in the public service, or in a shop selling trinkets, dream catchers and patchouli oil. It’s an unfortunate reality of working in the career I’m in. We work as a closely-coupled team of financial professionals. Certain standards are expected. If someone is making mistakes or not pulling their weight then they are going to hear about it. That could be a new intern, someone on the other end of the phone in one of our back office teams, the IT guy asked to call down immediately to fix an issue. It’s the environment we work in. I made mistakes myself when I started out in the career. I got a bollocking from other team members. I took it as of-the-moment feedback and learned from it. It was nothing personal. If someone is so thin skinned that they take it personally then I’d suggest they find a slightly more relaxed career. It mightn’t pay as well, but I’m sure they can attend classes on conflict resolution and body language dynamics as part of it.

    Last weekend. Spilled soup. I get more angry at food and things for playing tricks on me than people.

    I shout at myself when I manage to spill coffee, which is a lot. Stuff is damn precious.

    I was in the shopping centre the other week and had got myself a green tea and I know walking around with a hot drink in your hand is risky, but going down the escalator some tiny people were runnning up and down and managed to bump into me and make me spill it all over my hand. I nearly lost my temper and wanted to turn around and give their mother/father the death eyes to control their little horrors, but I kept my cool.
