The Rage ?

    A few years ago I was running up the stairs and when I got to the top I hit my hip bone on the bannister.

    I was in so much pain that after I had got it together I repeatedly kicked the bannister until the whole thing came crashing down and landed at the bottom of the stairs in a heap.

    needless to say my old mum was not best pleased.

    Has anybody else had a moment of temper / madness that you just couldnt control ??

    tell me the tales of rage.

    'black anger/rage' ive heard it been called by loads of people, yes i think most people have had it. Typical being a total moment of madness in which you immediately look back and regret (least i did a split second after realising what i had done mosta the time anyway)

    When I in first/second year in secondary school I had an awful temper used to lose the rag and get into scraps. Realised that I was being a pyco prick and since then I've always made an effort to control it. Haven't been in a fight for years. Although I will admit to a fair amount of keyboard smashing during counter strike sessions.

    Yeah.. i used to have more rage than i do now.. but when i was younger i would loose momentary control and break something.. Like one night my brother was playing his electric guitar and i was trying to sleep.. no need for it at that time of night.. i got out of bed and banged the wall.. put a small dent in it.. i also banged his door then and i deard it splinter... Eventually he came out of his room and i grabbed him by the throat and was about to throw him down the stairs..... i stopped myself at that point.. funny though in a way.. when he was a baby and me a little todler, we were in bewleys in town.. the toilets were upstairs and my mom went in. I was outside the door with my brother in the pram.. Then she had a premonition i was going to push him down the stairs.. i was, she got to me just in time to grab the pram :D Close one.. i was about 3 and an Attempted Murderer :ninja:

    These days im calm.. closest to rage i had was a few days ago.. we are getting the attic converted so my room is off limits.. the works done now so just decorating now.. anyway i went into my room to get my hub and test my network cabling.. someone had put some of the wire coat hangers in there and when i pulled out my hub they were cought and everything came out.. hub fell on floow.. so i grabbed the coat hangers and flung them across the woom hitting the wall and windows and everything.. :mad:

    I often get it, but I wouldn't describe the feeling as one of a loss of control. I quite calmly and deliberately go about punishing inanimate objects for their perceived disloyalty or disobedience. Immediately after I tend to get an overwhelming urge to beat the excrement out of the Me who just trashed my bike/wardrobe/printer or whatever I'm trying to fix, followed again by a moment where a third Me pisses myself laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation.

    Then we all go get chips and are friends again.

    Put my hand thru a window cause i was drunk and was in a tick mood :rolleyes: ,anyhows barely a scratch on me the next day :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭Wolf


    I have this clinicly bad.

    As far as computers go iv gone thro/smashed

    15/20 Keyboards
    15/20 Mice
    4/5 Head phones
    30 Joypads numerous platforms
    3 sets of speakers
    1 PC
    2 PS1's
    3 SNES
    1 Megadrive
    2 Gameboys
    1 Game Gear
    1 Spectrum 3+ and many of the tape recorders that go with.
    1 BBC Micro
    Tons of joysticks
    1 21" sony trinitron monitor worth about £500 at the time.
    3 TV's
    Games in gerneral by the plenty



    However, over the years because my temp was so bad Iv learnt to controll it to rediculous lenghts. If some starts a fight with me they can knock lumps out me now before Ill take any action. Although once they have hurt me badly enuf again the "red mist" comes.

    The last guy tried it was with two friends and was a total scum bag from black water town and well bigger than me. He just start punching me outa the blue. I did even fight back till after 4/5 slaps he caught me a goodin on the nose. Long story short he had to wear a face mask for 4 months because his cheek bones had collapsed.

    I should also point out I did hit him whiel he was down. Once I got im off me I ran.

    Yesterday my stupid phone wouldnt dial so i ripped it off the wall. Made up some bullsh*t excuse to "me ma". Also ripped the door off a cubard. I do have some rage issues me thinks.

    Now grimes must go to stupid anger stupid management class. I hate it soooooo MUCH!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,826 ✭✭✭Calibos


    I never feel like hitting equipment or people that annoy me, I just leave their/its presence, go into another room and punch a wall reasonably hard. The anger subsides, its like the stress just flooding out of me and then I'm as right as rain. :D


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 3,290 ✭✭✭TomTom


    I'm a very calm and placid person, but one as far as I remember i was working and this kid kept running through our pub around into the shop out the door onto the street and back into the bar to repat the process. He was alway watching me so I could never catch him. At one stage i just lost it and ran towards the shop door as he was about to open it and put my fist though the glass and hit the kid in the forehead. amoung all the glass, he only recieved a small cut and i ony got a small one on my wrist for some reason. could have been a lot worse.

    Similar to Saruman, I've lost a lot of the steam in me in the last year or two. Doesn't mean to say that I can't throw a wobbly anymore, just means that I'm not as prone to it. But in the past, sheeesh, I've gone off a fair few times. Some examples:

    - When I was about 14, there was this younger kid around where I lived that used to just mouth off for no reason at me and my mates. Me and one of the other guys found his bike one day, unguarded, and proceeded to highjack it. Not content with that, we absolutely throttled the bike. I can barely recall what I was doing, but there was absolute f*cking bedlam until the bike had been reduced to nuts and bolts and a few ambulatory spokes. We had to hide the remnants, of which there was very little, in case his Ma found them. To this day, they have never found the remains of that bike - lucky me!
    - Got drunk at home one night with a friend and got really surly and pi$$ed off (not with him, with stuff in general). Went around my room in a red fog and just yozzered the door completely off a cabinet in one go. The door on the cabinet is about 2 feet high and about a foot and a bit wide, double hinged to the frame. One massive headbutt later and the door was one the floor. Sore head the next morning for that, but the unit looks better without it now.
    - Nearly killed my sister in a blind rage about 3 years ago. Was supposed to go to town to meet some people, but just wasn't bothered so sat down to watch TV. One of the people I was supposed to meet kept texting my sister asking her where I was (cuz I didn't have a phone back then) and she threw a wobbly at me for not going. Just like that, I ignited and chased her upstairs to her room. She locked the door but I kicked it right off its hinges and dragged her out onto the landing where I threw her around like a sack of potatoes (and she's not a small girlie). Was going to fling her down the stairs (feeling very justified to do so at the time) but then thought about what my parents would say if I killed her (seriously!!!!). So I didn't. Just pounded on her a bit more until she was literally twitching on the ground. Although we're cool nowadays, I know she has NEVER EVER forgiven me for that beatdown. To tell the truth, I'm ashamed of it myself, but I seriously lost the plot that day.
    - Punched a few holes in my wardrobe door from time to time.
    - About 8 or 9 years ago, I was mowing the grass when I branch or something got picked up by the blades and was flung against my shin, nearly dropping me in pain. When I 'regained my senses' I grabbed the mower by the handles and started to spin it until it was being spun like a kid around me and flung it into the ditch. Da was not impressed!
    - In secondary school, in history in 2nd year I was sitting beside this little ar$ehole who loved taunting me. I never gave in until one day he did something (I forget what) and the teacher made me stand at the front of the class. The little ar$ehole starts riffling through my pencilcase whilst grinning at me, and I just lost the plot. Went over and buried him with a punch that nearly knocked him ar$e over tit off his seat. I was sent out of the classroom for doing that. Friggin' teachers eh?

    acouple of deep breaths wouldent go astray after that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 219 ✭✭YoungNastyMan


    I lost the rag about 2 months ago.
    I had, had a pretty stressfull day at work,
    When i was leaving i was walking down the street, embarking on my journey home.

    When, suddenly 2 little punk kids, no older than 10, in a parked car, Jumpped out swiftly and hurled a pen at me ( this was no ordinary pen, This was a heavy duty BIC ) Hit me, SMACK,BAM in the back of the head.

    At first i was dazed, Then i saw the 2 culPRATS, s******ing away, in their daddy's parked Land Rover.
    I bravely marched over and stood up too these 10yr olds.
    I smacked the the window, harder than intended, and cracked the glass. They were still laughing away, mocking me.

    But i was'nt finished, my rage was so intence i took their heavy duty BIC bold point pen and use it against them. This is the part i really regret.

    I poised the pen horivontal to the car, and proceeded to key (scratch) the paint job.

    Right in the middle of doing this, i suddenly stopped, looked around me, only to see the pure shock of stander by's, i looked in the car and saw the fear these 2 children had painted on their faces.

    So i did what any man would.

    I ran out of there like a little sissy boy.

    Foolishly i left the pen behind, i would of been a good reminder, A reminder of the raw fear in those children's faces.

    :eek: :eek:

    I'm usually well tempered, but one time something had pissed me off bad, but I was walking around trying to calm down, and just as I was about to make that breakthrough, I tripped on the stairs. Now, usually I could've taken that, but the carpet was up and I tore my hand open on the rusty carpet tacks.
    I lost it and hit the wall, and there's still a huge blood stain there to this day.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    i rarly loose the plot but this one time....

    i was drinking in a parki ngermany and one of my friends pissed me off ver very badry so i ripped a small tree out of the ground with my vodka strength and chaced him with it.

    and this other time on the Arran islands, a combination of just being dumped, being 15 with too much cider + w$$d taken and the fact that i was on the Arran islands, made me start violently dismantling one of those dry-stone walls and start ****ing the stones at my friend (the same guy as last time), i was so pissed off, i think i actually wanted to kill him. thankfully i have never had the rage since.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 444 ✭✭s0l


    when i was 8 or 10, i was at home on my own with my granny, i cant remember what it was about but i threw a tantrum and knocked her off her chair, she nearly broke her hip =/

    I'm not an angry person usually, but when i snap i really snap. Nothing big, just school punch ups but everyone knows that feeling of Red Rage, when you're being controlled by anger and adrenalin. I think it's even been accepted by a few courts around the world and has caused reduces in sentences for crimes of passion and the like.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Hmm...

    Might have a few of these old things here... Stories and all...


    Most recently, tonite...
    Just watching a movie here on my PC, and I just kept being interupted. Especially seeing as I was told 'You can watch that any time' when it has to go back tomorrow. D'oh! ****ing hell, I just wanted to fire the monitor at the next person who came a knockin' on my door. **** OFFF YA LANGERS!!!

    Another time, year or two ago...
    Dunno, was very, very drunk. Arrive home pretty late, like 4 or 5 in the morning. All well and good until me ma bursts in at 7 screaming at me!!! Now I had some ****ing unreal hangover and my head was nearly really to explode, and I simply wasn't in any state or mood to give any abuse, never mind taking it. Pint glass on the dresser (Water, that was, not beers)... And I ****ed it at her. Most of it hit the wall, destroyed a few posters and all, but the most shocking thing was that the storage heater which was on the wall that got most of my limp attack didn't blow up, or anything!!! :eek:
    It still works to this day.


    Cant claim to have beaten up any grannies though, but apparantly I gave my ma a black eye when I was 2 or something. Story goes that I was having nightmares, couldn't sleep and crawled into Mommy's bed and went to sleep, only to turn around and give her a fist into the face. How cute? :D

    I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town.

    My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

    apart from that pretty tame, bottling up for later use like a spree or something similar...

    kick a wall one in a fit of rage, couldnt walk on the foot for 3 days, wont be doing that again too soon, it hurt alot.

    Damn straight. :ninja:

    I have, in latter years, managed to control my awful temper. (Mister 120Minutes, you've seen a good few of them..!!)

    My kid sister once came battering into my room at 11am on a Saturday, I threw my alarm clock at her and split her lip.

    My dad called me for school once. I stress once. I had a big antique alarm clock and he called me from the driveway. I fecked the alarm clock in the general direction of the voice, smashing the window and subsequently, the bonnet of my dad's car.

    But these are just angry moments, my rages tend to last for one to several hours, and I cause more damage than your average hurricane. Posters, glasses, windows, ornaments.....

    But I did once clock my sister so hard she couldn't breathe, and when she did finally inhale, she puked. I never, ever hit anyone again.

    My other kid sister however could take me with both hands behind her back. I wouldn't mess with her.

    Riiiiight. :p


    Anyways, one of the worst things I've done was I flung my mobile to the floor in my bedroom with great force :mad: I did it at such an angle that on impact it split into about 7 or 8 parts which each went their own ways high into the air. It was a beautiful site and I felt great for it.

    Put the bits back together and the thing worked perfectly. Good old 5110s :D.

    I nearly always think of the consequences before I do something in a rage. However, I'm worried that my pent-up agression will erupt suddenly and without warning one of these days :(

    It is what it's.

    I once caught a guy by the neck and lifted him up and over banisters to drop him down a flight of stairs, it was a gas look on his face.
