I rage at other drivers all the time. No one knows how to fucking drive.

Last week when my work computer started chugging, and I loudly vocalized "f*ck" with a smack to the table. Supervisor sits next door...

Last summer, almost road raged someone blocking the left lane off the road (totally cut her off by shooting a very small gap).

Best control I have to say was when my coworker just totally pissed me off in the field. Instead of yelling, I just ignored her for the next 3 or 4 hours... Didn't say anything I regretted.

I don't think have an anger problem, or maybe I do after what happened today.

I rarely lose temper, never got violent (haven't gotten into a fight since HS 15 yrs ago), and have incredible patience/level head when it comes to dealing with retards/douchebags/idiots.

BUT I cannot stand when STUPID SHIT that pisses me off out of nowhere that DOESN'T need to happen.

I was doing dishes today with the laptop on countertop playing a TV show (so it's nowhere near as boring). In the middle of it, fucking SUDDENLY out of nowhere the flash player started to freeze. This happened numerous times, then I launched Firefox instead of Chrome. That fucking bitch would suddenly lag forever and would close as soon as it opened.

What. the. FUCK. I had a fucking fit of temper and fucking smacked the laptop to the floor.

The dumb bitch fell, and the display is cracked. A perfectly good 2 yo laptop gone just like that. The repair from manufacturer is $350- 80% price of a laptop.

It's amazing how much patience I exhibit with people. But random fuckshit like this by an inanimate object can set me off..........
I cannot stand when STUPID SHIT either, and this is one of those times. D:

When I was younger, I spent a good bit of time driving around a old piece of crap car. NEVER gotten into an accident with the old car. So after years of saving my money, I got a newer car and I was in love with it. About a couple of months into having this newer car, Im headed to a friends house and stop at a stoplight. Then suddenly, I get hit from the rear. At that very moment, I went into hulk mode. Damn near ripping off my shirt. I literally kicked my door open and ran, like that baboon from Ren and Stimpy, towards the car and opened it......to find a 88 year old man and his handicapped daughter sitting there....I thought I was going to find some piece of shit kid on his or her cellphone. So when I saw that, I calmed down and asked if they were all right and called 911 for help.

But yeah, that was the last time I flipped the fuck out.

Today actually as it happens, it's rare that I let things get me angry, today was an exception.

I had a friend who must have broken 5 or 6 keyboards over the years. He was the type who REALLY got into his games and whenever he get his ass handed to him, he would throw a hissy fit. Sometimes just banging on the keyboard, other times throwing the keyboard...

Anyhow ... He kept getting more and more detached from reality and crazy about his games.

Except you, right?

;)

The "no one" was an exaggeration. I see plenty of people that drive well, and I give props accordingly :p

Everyone who drives slower than you is an idiot right? Everyone who drives faster is a maniac.

Slower people are only idiots if they're taking up the left lane. Faster people never irritate me, as it almost doesn't affect me at all.

When people drift into my lane, or stop when they shouldn't, that's when they get the horn and the finger. I also gave some doucheass a double finger the other day because he was in the middle of the intersection blocking my entire lane from being able to turn or do anything at all.
