It's been a long, long, long time. Probably my sister when I was a teenager....maybe.

I tend to contain my anger internally. If I do finally end up yelling at someone in anger, I'll probably just explode and probably kill them. ;)

YOU"VE BEEN WARNED!! :D

My wife and I got in an argument a couple of nights ago. Regret it? Yep, I regret marrying her.

Edit: Oh wait, you meant regret yelling...

I yell at people all the time when they piss me off. It's either that or deck 'em, and yelling carries a lesser penalty.

Do you have kids that are keeping the marriage together at the expense of happiness? Why not divorce if you don't? (Unless of course this was sarcasm)

I yelled at my girlfriend about 2 nights ago for making me spill my drink all over the kitchen floor. Probably shouldn't have but I didn't really YELL I guess, I was more or less frustrated. She said the fact that I was quiet most of the rest of the night upset her more though. Women are strange huh? ;)

I yelled at my son last week, and yes, I regret it. I very, very rarely yell at anyone, and I shouldn't have let him tick me off so much that I lost it for about 10 seconds. For the official Anandtech record, I apologized to him about five minutes later for losing control of my temper and he apologized to me for what he did.

I'm thinking about yelling at someone else right now (an adult), but I'm too sick to bother. Damn cold and flu season.

No one besides idiot drivers recently. I never regret it. If I am yelling at you you deserve it. I don't yell much.

I shout at my children fairly often, but it isn't in anger. It is so they will actually pay attention to me. I swear, the older two will just keep doing what it is I am telling them not to do without even registering that I am speaking! I guess it is just normal for kids to be this way. They know I love them and I know they love me, but for some reason they think it is fun to test the limits of my sanity day in and day out. I'll say to the middle one, &quot;Put that down&quot; or &quot;Give your brother his toy back&quot; and she hears me but is somehow hoping that I will forget what I just said. If I have to tell her something more than three times, I end up scolding her and sending her to her room or something. Sometimes I go and turn off the television, which works wonders. Then I hear &quot;Mo-om, why'd you do that?????&quot; Other times, I tell them &quot;Look at me. Yes, look into my eyes! I want you to actually hear what I am saying.&quot; I prefer to do that instead of shout, but when I am cooking something on the stove and I need them to pay attention right away, I end up hollering.

My kids are well behaved in general, they just like to make me work for it. :p

As far as yelling in anger, that doesn't happen too much. My sister taught me long ago that the first person to lose their cool, loses the argument. I have a nasty habit of staying calm and rational to the point of driving the other person mad. :D

Yelled at a friend several days ago. I don't usually do this but with this guy, anything is possible. I don't regret it one bit since he told his friends to yell at him if they feel like he has done something wrong. Go figure. :confused:

If im cruisin with friends and we see stupid people walking along side the road, we will sometimes roll down the window and yell &quot;BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!&quot; out the window at them. Its stupid but its fun. I dont know why we do it. And No, dont think I regret it either.

<Radeon> are you reading this thread? hehe he is one of my friends who probably is the one who started this activity.

I yelled at my husband last week. I was trying to explain the concept of right click, and he kept writing click in the window!! CLICK, there I wrote click but nothings happening. It wasn't in anger, it was complete shock. We had a good laugh about it the next day.

This week I yelled at my now ex-secretary. NEVER hire an ex government employee. They are lazy because they never had to really hustle before , since beaurocracy is intentionally slow as to preserve jobs not to achieve results.

I do not regret it, I wish her well..she is qualified for any low level food service job. But she is not qualified to work for me.

I also yell in the mirror alot..as a perfectionist , I find myself lacking here and there occasionally and it pisses me off.

3 1/2 years ago, I yelled at a worker that call me a racist. I asked him to perform a little better at work because his job is on the line, and he hit me. (he was lazy &amp; was caught drinking &amp; smoking dope at the work site). It was good that I din't retaliate, and he was fired 4 weeks later by his poor performance at work. I was glad that he wasn't fired for hitting me. Latter I found out that he acuse me of being perjudice to my boss, which was painful for me to take. I had wished that he had confronted me with his concern so I could have a rebutal for his accusation. It bothered me for weeks, because I did questioned my behaviour to ward him. All I did was try to be nice to him and encourage him to work harder, I even drive him home most of the time. I got better because my co workers, friends &amp; family reasusre me that the only thing that I did wrong was not firing his ass for hiting me.

I don't want to yell any longer. Is the reason I posted.

It isn't worth it.

My favorite is to yell at stupid drivers.

I didn't yell at a couple of road idiots today.

Let's see how long it lasts.

I can't remember when I actually yelled at someone in person.

Now by myself in the car when an IDIOT cuts me off or almost crashes into me, that would be 4 days ago!!
