Why do some people type like they're angry?

[jtvang125]

With "normal" people you hear the soft click of the keys being pressed. With these people it's clack, clack, clack...CLACK as the slam the enter key at the end. It's like they're pissed off or something.

Beats me.

 

[SlitheryDee]

"Normal" people don't notice or worry about that.

Try sitting next to someone who does that for 8 hours a day and I guarantee you that you'll notice.

I'm just mad because I do it and I don't like the idea of people caring about it.

LOL - when I used to post in in P&N, my wife would call from the other room, "You're angry-typing again, I can hear you."

 

[frostedflakes]

Haha, this is a pet peeve of mine as well.

LMAO!

I am so going to use "angry typing".

 

[Newbian]

Maybe they are angry.

I'm fairly heavy handed also, especially with the spacebar. The sound's very satisfying when you really whack it :^)

I DON'T KNOW

These people are generally very rough with all of their stuff. It's not that they're angry; just not very careful with things.

They probably also toss clothes around, slam doors and cupboards and drive the shit out of their cars.

My brother fits this category - he's not an angry person, he just doesn't treat his stuff well, and then he wonders why his things always wear out or break before mine do.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

They're typing with conviction.

I'm one of those heavy typers. It's not that I'm angry, it's just the speed I type at. I can type at close to 120 wpm, and at that speed I just tend to hit the keys hard.
Also, I'm used to firm, desktop keyboards that require you to really press down the keys. I'd imagine if I was used to typing on laptop keyboards then I'd probably type softer.

I hate it when people slam the enter key really hard. Other than that I don't really care.

I used to work with this fucking moron who typed nice and quietly for months, and then, one day, just starts typing so fucking loudly. Didn't get a new keyboard or anything. It was just a "I'm typing this loudly in hopes that somebody will make a remark about how loud or fast I type."

My girlfriend types pretty hard, but she says it's because she plays piano.

Back in the day prior to Electric Typewriters, you really had to put some effort into Typing. Not sure how that applies to this thread though.

 

[BabaBooey]

Pent up aggression,I catch myself doing it all the time.

 

[imported_Imp]

We like people to know that we're typing, there and attention whoring. I only do this at work, and it's mainly cause they gave me a crappy Belkin keyboard with stiff keys.

 

[octopus41092]

It's not because they're angry, it's because they're INTENSE!

I like the sounds of spring-reflex keyboards.

What bothers me about noisy typers is how vigorously they hit the return key and the space bar.
