Some things you've done in fits of rage

iamstop

I can get a bit short tempered now and again, usually at small things that are not going as planned like; my phone freezing up right when I need it, when I'm going in circles on an automated customer service call or some kitchen appliance annoys me.
When this happens I usually hit something with something else, not my own fist. Usually in a controlled enough manner and nothing breaks but I was talking to a friend of mine who recently put his hand through his laptop screen out of rage. Pretty extreme. Lucky for him he has a bit of cash from a recent job and I helped him transfer the stuff off the old one but still, pretty extreme right?

Any stories of destroying something in a fit of rage and regretting it after?

Punched a few holes in doors

I haven't done this yet, but came close a few times.

was in a fight last week with an arab french dude who spat in my face for asking him a question in english.The red mist immediatly descended and i hit him in the face. he head butted me repeatedly so i hit him agin and he fell, then I kicked him in the face twice. Feel like a complete scumbag but he bounced right back up after it and backed away from the situation. Dude must have been made of steel to take the kicks he did.

I was coming back from holidays and I had arranged to meet my mother and aunt in the lobby of a hotel. I got there broke, hungry and tired.

Waited for maybe 20 minutes before ringing them, they were having lunch on the other side of Dublin so I was going to have to wait for at least 1.5 hours.

I storm out of the hotel, and slam the glass door behind me.............turning back to see a massive crack appear the whole way up the entire front door.

Safe to say my rage subsided fairly quickly!!

Wow some of you guys have pretty serious problems with anger, I think I'm a fairley calm person with a long fuse except when I'm in the Car or on the bike sometimes and I'm not happy with the carry on of other road users but even then I dont resort to violence, I just tend to mutter to myself in annoyance.

I find that if I get out for a run or a cycle once a day then the frustration of other areas of my life are left out and I don't need to get all psycho at inanimate objects that will cost me money to replace when the rage recedes...

There was this time last year where I had a terrible day. My girlfriend of 2 years told me she was breaking up with me to go off with my best friend. I then had to go to work and annoyingly I left my bag on the bus which had the keys to open the shop in. I got to work and explained I'd left the keys on the bus and the manager had a massive go at me and sacked me there and then.

On my way back in the pouring rain to bus stop. I was wet through and I took refuge in the post office. It was there in that post office I did the most unforgivable thing.

I preceded to blank a friend of a friend who passed me and nodded at me.

I was driving my beloved chopper over a busy highway bridge when some guy throw what I think was a burrito out his front window, which hit me in the face and knocked me off my bike, scraping it up into ****e. Anyway, after a brief exchanges of words with him, I kicked his pet dog over the side of the bridge into the river below.

This burrito is delicious, but it is filling. Whoa ! Antony and Cleopatra !
What the hell, bro' ?
Hello, neighbour.
Did you just throw a burrito out your window ?
I believe I did.

Are you high or something ? Did you see what happened ?
I did. That was a terrific spill. That's quite a raspberry.
That's my chopper you just thrashed, Broseph.

Easy, compadre. I'm your friend out here, all right ?
I want you to fix my chopper before I stomp your goofy ass !

If you want to throw down, fine. I've got Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary waiting for you.
You destroyed the only thing I love. All right ? There it is.
What do you love ?
I love poetry.
And a glass of Scotch.
And, of course, my friend Baxter here.

Well, guess what. Now this is happenin'.
Excuse me. Excuse me. What are you doing ?

That's how I roll.

Baxter !!!! NNooooooooo ... !!!!

Threw a 5kg dumbell at my wall when my neighbour's son had yet another one of his all night, mental, drug fuelled parties.. Every weekend for 3 days straight he did it.. I only wish the wall was his face

The wall is still wrecked!

maybe instead of those back n chest exercises you should focus on the legs! No getting up off the ground after a proper bog toe to the body(never the head...lowest of the low)

throwing my ps3 controller around due to Fifa is something I can relate to!

Throwing controllers is a habit broken quite quickly when one has an Xbox 360 when one sees the carnage they can create.

Punched through a glass door, hand has alot of scars

candy-gal1

Punching pillows/walls etc is usually as far as I go tbh, Ive never broke anything in a fit of rage as far as i remember unless maybe a plate after a row or ripping up a parcel pack into tiny bits etc, Ive been tempted to but then think why would I want to break something of mine over someone/something stupid! Sounds excessively rational I know, Believe me it takes a while to get to thinking like that!

i dont lose it that often- well in regards to breaking things but got stuck in a lift once on my way to work. i was dying of a hangover, battery in phone was nearing empty and i was already in the bad books at work for being late the week before.....and i was due to open this morning. I was stuck in there for three hours. shop never got opened. they customers and other staff would not let it go- ended up breaking the mouse and heater in shop. least they shut up for a while. i was called into the office though.... needless to say they didnt believe me about the lift!

But Rage leads to hatred. Hatred leads to the dark side.

I have learned to control and challange my anger issues

i only get really angry when i make a costly mistake.

i usually just kick the wall that time and scream. the screaming helps for some reason.:D

Knew a guy who used to get so frustrated playing games that he would gnaw on his controllers in fit of rage.

Was funny as hell seeing him go pink in the head and start chomping on his controller, was like seeing him revert back to an ape for a few seconds. He would bite the hell out of them and had the 2 controllers destroyed in teeth marks.

I have broken many playstation controllers with fifa and COD

Broke a couple of phones, PSP, PS1, Xbox 360, laptop, TV all in frustration

They do have that extra bit of weight resulting in extra damage!

Last night I was eating a chicken curry and EVERY SINGLE ****ING FORKFUL had peas in it! :mad: Lost it big time and threw the plate into the sink. Fortunately it didn't shatter but I was extremely pissed off. Why must everything I like be tainted with bloody peas?!

Asked for a burger with no mayo in the chipper one night.

Got outside, had mayo on it. Threw it at their window and ran.

Was young and drunk...I like mayo now!

With all these broken electronics I'm starting to wonder if they design in rage causing factors in order to sell more.

I mean we've all heard of built in obsolescence but built in rage-solescence? You think?

Please Kill Me

About 7 years ago, my marriage was rapidly going downhill. I have a short fuse and a bad temper anyway, but I was drinking heavily too. One evening I came home and the ex started on at me (as she did most days) and I just flipped!! The side gate was kicked down, the living room door was ripped off the hinges, I punched through God knows how many walls in the house, I kicked through other doors, presses pulled off walls etc. After about half an hour of a rampage, I just collapsed, exhausted and bleeding. The house was wrecked. It's nothing to be proud of and I had the sense to give up the drinking and my wife and I broke up.

Thankfully nothing even close to that has happened since, although I throw the head now and again, I'm able to calm myself down before I go into a rage again.

Confronted travelers with my shotgun when they drove around the back of my house. They thought no one was home.

In the dark side's defence, they make an excellent cookie.

And the worst thing is that you made that curry yourself.

I have closed numerous boards accounts in fits of rage and hatred. I always come crawling back though.
