How do you take your anger out?

[GenMarshall]

Just out of curiosity. How do you take your anger out when you are feeling POed or stressed?

When I get mad, I normly would load up a 1st persion shoter game. But if I have no game with me, Ill pop in some music.

When I'm really stressed or angry, I try to do something healthy. I work out, maybe play my guitar or a little Civ. Sometimes I like to take my doggies on a walk. That always cheers me up. If all else fails, I just yell at someone or tell them they suck. But that doesn't happen very often.

Physical abuse to mice, keyboards and monitors. Muttering curses. Majority is bottled up and swallowed where it curls away into nothing and makes me a healthy happy person.

Chain-smoking is my first option. Exercise is my second option. If the weather is inclement and my indoor backup is closed, then I go for a first person shooter or CivIII.

If I'm out and about, then good music in the car will have to do.

Somedays, I just have to bottle it up inside until I can go home and spit on the cat. She hates that...

 

[WillJ]

I kill people.
Er, I mean, I stroll through meadows and pick wildflowers

If it's something minor, I usually just mutter something, and if it's something major, I have a tendency to break things... Sometimes I go play basketball or jog or lift weights or something; that always helps.

Invading Poland seems to be popular among my ilk.

 

[TrailblazingScot]

Growl.

Drive very dangerously.

 

[Perfection]

I usually plot agianst the cause of it and cause them to humiliate themselves.

Either that or I log onto CFC and spam up the OT forum.

 

[ComradeDavo]

I rant and get even more angry.

 

[BorgeoisBuffoon]

Rant, work out, bash person who made me angry, or play a fighting game. I can't take anger too calmly.

 

[Akka]

Martial arts.
It's really good, both for venting anger and for controling it

If it's a short frustration, like loosing a moden armor to a spearman, then I just call my computer some names and reload

 

[omichyron]

usually I listen to music. once I stabbed a knife into a tree and couldn't get it out again, so I just left it there

 

[Japanrocks12]

I do positive things when I am angry. At a lesser scale, I yell at people. One or two times, whoever provokes me gets a black eye.

 

[Norlamand]

Rant and vent immediately if possible. Second choice is to listen to VERY loud music until the anger passes. (Current favorite is Godsmack)

 

[Skullbones]

I black out when I get angry and can't be held responsible for my actions. At least, that's what my lawyer told me to say.

 

[Knowze Gungk]

I don't get angry. It's a pointless emotion that does nothing but cloud judgment, reason & logic.

But it does amuse me to witness anger engulf an easilly susceptible individual or, as I like to call them, "anger junkies", because they seem to need a regular anger fix. I've also noticed that the average anger junkies top pet hates include politeness & disagreement from others. Therefore, I feel it my duty to politely disagree with anyone having a hissy fit (they really hate the use of that word to discribe their behavour, so I make it a point to use it every now & then).

Keep up the anger fits people, and ye shall amuse all with your clownish antics.

I just calmly take my sword and find my way downtown and see what happens if I start running around with the sword out of its sheath....

Seriously, sometimes it's relaxing through a game. Sometimes I might go find a good old punching bag (too bad I don't have the huge body bags so I could kick as well) and knock it out. If it's a person, I might yell. But, no violence unless provoked/struck first.

And cursing...I don't curse that much, though.

 

[cgannon64]

I internalize it. The anger just disappears without any consequences! I suggest you all try it!

Seriously though, I don't get angry very often. I'd like to think of myself as very calm person. I can't remember the last time I got angry about something. I don't have many things in my life that can make me angry...

 

[CenturionV]

I generally don't get very angry that often, when I do I usually forget so quick that it does'nt really matter, if its bad enough that i am really REALLY angry i will just go for a walk or lay down for a while and think about something else. but seriously its hard to make me really angry.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

I pin all my rage on someone else. Then I vent over the girl I've been persuing for the last two months, who everyone thinks we should be together, even her sister, then I yell at people and I type up why I'm angry on forums.
