I am furious. Absolutely kick-yer-head-in livid. But I wont rant at you all. There's no point. I'm trying very hard to calm down, but am finding it very difficult. :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:
So simple question. What do you guys do when you feel so mad you think you're gonna explode? :confused:
Shave, of course!
Right now if I did that i'd shave until I had no skin left. Or i'd at least cut myself in several places. Unintentionally you understand. :rant:
smoke (in some countries illigal) herbs
It rarely happens, but in such cases I climb on my exercise bike and pedal with a continuous heart rate of 150 - 160 bpm.
and I find that after half an hour all the anger and frustration is gone.
running would work too, but my knees don't like it much when I do.
All fine suggestions, but I am soon to start work (in a little under an hour) and smoking anything illegal or going on a long walk would be ill-advised.
Edit: If I was still at home I would do some straight razor resto, but thats quite sharp and dangerous. Also, SWMBO is there, and thats who I am mad at.
I'd go and confront my nemesis - since your wife is holding the nemesis card it's something in your gift to do. Otherwise go online and book in for a massage at a topless parlour in Bute (can you imagine a topless parlour in Bute...:D.
(For overseas guests - going topless in Bute has never been carried out for moral and health reasons, except occasionally by council workers cutting grass.)
not at home and still have to work.
anny hot girls working there?
In cases when I'm at work, I typically enjoy some very angry heavy metal. Pantera's Official Live 101 Proof often does the job. I typically keep Pink Floyd in heavy rotation on the PC at work to encourage a light, easy mood.
punching bag for the win. nothing like beating the tar out of something when you are angry, and if it's something inanimate, all the better.
If I'm mad at SWMBO, I like to take long walks and not tell her where I'm going. If that's not available, I warm up Call of Duty 4 and slip on the headphones. There's nothing like killing a bunch of people online. It gives you the satisfaction and release you need without getting into trouble:D
I under no circumstances even look at a razor. Bad bad choice for sure. Good luck with the cool down:)
Rule number 1: Don't sweat the small stuff.
Rule number 2: Rember, It's all small stuff.
Project love and enjoy life.
I know that may sound very trite but it really works for me.
Q_O for me its Guild Wars. In the past it has been Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. But any game of killing stuff does workQuote:

Heavy bag or focus mits, pipe, counter strike, hiking, starting fires (the camp variety, not the arson variety).
I grab my AR-15 or my SKS and pop off a few hundred rounds at Osama Bin Laden :)
You found him??? :bowQuote:

I've had a disagreement with one of our neighbours, who has taken advantage of our good nature and thrown it back in our faces and I'm bloody fuming!!!!!!:mad::rant: I didn't get much sleep last night, on top of the not sleeping much while being away and I'm about ready to take someones head off.
I've tried playing a few games to calm down, I've even tried breathing excercises and meditation but alas all attempts to calm down have failed so far. Herbal remedies are also out as I'm skint, so thats booze out too, HA!:mad:
I can't go near anything sharp as I have a history of occasionally self harming and when I get wound up like this and can't take it out on the person who has upset me, I take it out on myself. Better than than ending up in Jail or the Nuthouse for flipping out. Plus the fact Spike wouldn't be happy with me if I did do a slice job on myself.:rant::cry:
I just feel sooooooooo fracking frustrated, aaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!
Sir Sidney, I hope you're feeling better now. When I hold the nemesis card Spike usually goes out until he's calmed down.:) Oh, and sorry for nicking your thread.
Yes. If my wife is angry I stay out of the way too. :)
Just go out for a walk around the block, always find that clears the head.
Sex is also a good cure, esp if the problem is the SWMBO.
:roflmao
Graham, surely doing the nasty with SWMBO when she is in a fowl mood comes under the classification of dangerous sports... :w
My favourite, although it doesn't always work, is muttering various profanities & curses under my breath. Winds anyone in earshot up. Especially if you refuse to tell them what it is you are muttering :rolleyes:
Similar one to me Spike except I play the tin whistle instead of muttering. Relaxes me and ****es anyone else off within earshot. Most gratifying when annoyed.
When my wife is annoyed I have this strange habit of continuing to annoy till she explodes . I always regret it, really don't know why I do it - it's like a magnet. She is an expert door slammer and pen and pencil snapper.
I go for a long drive and smoke my pipe, if that's not do-able, then I drive down to the lake and watch the water while smoking a pipe.Of course, being single, I don't have to worry about SWMBO.
Well, what finally broke my mood was a nice long chat to Freebird (thank you Capt'!:bow)
Graham, sex? Really?? That is the LAST thing I want when Spike has really annoyed me.:D
go running...
a short fast run to get rid of the energy (30minutes),
or a long slow run to think things over (few hours).
Aggressive music often helps too.

Just joking. I try to be very aware of the anger. I Let it be there and breathe. I also try to pay attention to the physical sensations of anger. I try to respond to the situation rather than react in a habitual way. :D
