Angriest you've ever been?

Jared Lash · #1 05-06-2009, 03:53 PM

I had a clear top 5 angry moment earlier today, but it made me wonder what the angriest I've ever been was.

Let's hear some stories.

1) The day I found out my ex (wasnt my ex at the time) was pregnant, though not over the pregnancy thing. Minutes after I found out she was pregnant I also found out she had been doing illegal drugs all the whilst telling me how much she couldnt stand people who did that.

2) The day I left my ex once and for all. We were at a friends wedding when she started tearing into me because I spoke to another woman. This situation alone didnt piss me off so much, but the all the anger from #3 manifested itself in me at that time. We broke out into a huge fight, and I walked home, drunk, 10 miles alone at night.

3) Pretty much every day between numbers 1) & 2).

Probably when I decided to build a computer with no previous no-how.

One time a business I worked for made a controversial political statement, and I was involved in doing that. We had a PR team, but one time they got fed up with the hassle caused by this event, and they had me take a call from a reporter. Turns out the reporter was an arch political-extremist character assassin whose specific intent was to ruin us. During the interview I had to explain some choices made by the company which I myself did not agree with, but where I felt I had to say what "our" reasoning was for those choices.

First anger: discovering that the interview was a hit job.
Second anger: receiving hate mail and death threats from extremists on the other side.
Third anger (the worst): the person responsible for the company choices that I did not agree with yelled at me for misrepresenting her choices, though I had spoken the utter truth. Making her a lying backstabbing hypocrite. It was bad enough being attacked by extremists on the outside, but my anger at her backstabbing and lying was pretty intense. In fact I'm still mad at her, and this was a few years ago.
Fourth anger: Dozens (if not hundreds) of bloggers picked up and reposted the hit-job article, including my full name, painting me in a terrible light. Those blog articles are still all over the web.

Any chance, bongo, that you can tell us what said controversial political statement was? Hmm, maybe via PM so as to not rouse the mods?

That's kinda scary.

Were you for using puppies as fuel for ICBMs? Because I can see how people could ge worked up over that.

The day I found out my sisters husband beat her up in front of their kids. Even as I type this, my blood is beginning to boil.

I had my truck keys in my hand, and it took four adults to stop me from driving over there and destroying him.

I've been curious about that as well, since bongo has alluded to this story before.

Personally, I've been sucker punched by an idiot drunk who thought I was hitting on his ex-girlfriend (she was a coworker), I've been stabbed while breaking up a fight, I've had some horrendous breakups - but I think I was most angry when I had a failing student fabricate allegations about me when I was teaching. Nasty ones too. That I was a racist. That I sexually harassed students. Things that people who know me know I would never do.

I remember a meeting with my principal where I was so angry afterward that my hands wouldn't stop shaking for hours.

I can understand. Not quite the same as she wasn't family, but I found out that one of my best friend's boyfriend was beating her even as she was pregnant with his child. Murderous rage.

Yeah, that about sums it up. I scared myself that day with how worked up I got. I hope I never, ever, get that angry again in my life.

I forgot about this one:

When I went to private high school, my interest in Secret German Aircraft of WWII gave rise to allegations that I was a Nazi. That made me rage beyond normalicy, to the point where I told a 7th grader that I was going to skin his face and eat it in front of him.

MatticusMania · #16 05-06-2009, 05:14 PM

SO... youre saying you are a nazi?

No, but they did enjoy eating the skin off of 7th graders faces as a battlefield snack.

For that school, I may as well have been. the rich kids who went there who grew up the rarefied air of the Country Club weren't ready for me. Neither was the school administration, for that matter. Or the IT people...

I don't think anyone is ready for a kid who threatens to eat other kids' faces
