Ok, so I read a bunch of posts to day and it seems like many of you are angry and are enjoying calling people assholes (haha I love it). People seem to think that it’s not ok to get angry… that it’s not ok to express your frustration at a situation or at some dickhead who is ruining your day for no apparent reason other than his dickheadedness. So, lemme say this: if you have a justafiable reason to be angry, LET IT OUT. Don’t try and suffocate your true feelings with rainbows and carebears; grab your bat, swing at some trees, scream some fantabulous string of curse words to the heavens and just let it out. One day or another, you ARE going to explode. It is just a matter of time. And when you blow up at the wrong person, guess what- you’re now the asshole.
I just want you all to know that it’s ok to be angry, because that is part of being human 🙂 So go ahead, take that old pillow that you hate or that ugly ass f-ing vase that some estranged cousin gave you for Christmas or your birthday and smash it. You can’t heal when you are tearing yourself up from the inside out.

Sounds like some good wisdom to me; though we should all try to avoid situations that cause us to be angry in the first place because anger is not good for your heart. But you are absolutely right, I believe, about letting it out somehow — in a healthy manner.
Is this where I check in to the rubber room to open up a can of fucking crazy on the white walls?
Do you even have to ask lol?
No you of course…I’ll take a room way up high please. With a chandelier to hand from.
Ah the chandelier is a nice touch. Quite elegant really- hanging from a chandelier
Actually people think it’s perfectly right to be angry about things if it’s them being angry. Whenever they see someone else get angry OMG, WHAT A NEANDERTHAL LIKE PERSON!. If it’s them… WHAT! I’M ALLOWED TO BE UPSET! I’M A HUMAN BEING!.
Fucking people.
(yeah i know that’s too much but… jesus, i’ve seen it a gazillion times and i always either get a kick out of it, or it makes me sick to my stomach).
No that’s so true- people are fucking hypocrites. And it drives me nuts
I almost willed my hand through the phone this morning to put a Force Hold Grip on the person on the other end who was not listening to me at all. (I might have been an asshole) but she was an asshole first…plus…..I thought they fucked up my paycheck and she was just not listening to me. If she said Mam…one more time…I was going to Darth Vader her ass.
“I find your lack of faith disturbing”. It’s funny because they think talking to you calmer fixes the fact that they’re screwing you up. No ma’m, that makes me even angrier.
And you know what? screw it: someone messaged me to ask me how i was (someone that i know uses me) in a pretty good mannered way, only to ask me how to do something on powerpoint less than 10 lines later, plus they went to sleep right after i replied (they did say thank you in a hurry) because “i have to wake up early tomorrow”. That plus saying hello why smiling today like i didn’t even notice that i’m being used… just sent me into boiling mode. I would have kicked her ass if she had any, flat as pancakes.
@Mf: I knew more about what was going on in t he payroll system than she did, and she was the fucking expert…so she gives me another number to call and I still know more about what is going on…The end result was that the payroll website is so poorly written that it was misleading and only appeared that my paycheck was wrong. I taught the fucking expert how to use her own website. In the end I was so amped up that I needed to just go wander the halls lest I snap at some poor person who needed to talk to me about something that was actually work related. GAH I hate badly designed websites!!!
@Mf: have you ever considered just giving them the wrong answer….. Not that I have ever done that or anything.
@HDS: Geeze… i just had the most awkward deja-vu from when i designed/created websites for some guy that had a webpage creation mini-business. I was asked to use cmses all the time. “They’re easier to update” … sure, but they’re a freaking mess if you want to add new functionalities without breaking FREAKING EVERYTHING. I preferred plain old coding every single time (at least when i used to code, lol). So yeah, i can see why you’re so upset, i tend to get upset too when people keep telling me how to do something that i know how to do better than them.
And… you know? i actually skipped the last two periods of class and shut off my phone in the meantime. Even if giving the wrong answer sounds like a pretty tempting thing, most likely i’ll start saying that i don’t know the answer when asked. Last week i even considered dropping my scores so that particular person lost all interest in using me, but it’s my fault as well, i just didn’t want to see her and someone else get a bad grade so i said “i’ll help them one more time”… and sure, you give them a hand and they take the whole arm.
They sure will. But I’m lame a lot of the time and just help out. I’ve become the resident expert for a system I don’t even work in simply because I can wrap my mind around how they work. My boss told me not to offer my assistance any longer because she is tired of the people who are paid to work on the damn system calling me to find out how to do work around for the bugs in their own systems…what really pisses me off is these clowns make twice what I do an hour. shesh. This thread is really cathartic.
Haven’t you just considered applying for one of their jobs? i mean, if you do it better and your boss can vouch for it. That way you’d make twice the pay an hour and wouldn’t have to deal with them. And… heck, i guess i’m not the only soft hearted idiot (sorry) then… i’m pretty sure that after this if i see them in trouble again i’m going to feel bad and re-consider helping one “last” more time.
Last as in = three million times left. You know what’s sad? i wouldn’t even mind being used if they weren’t so freaking obvious about it, i mean, at least try to mask it up a little. In the end i don’t know if i get angry because of being used, or just because they are sort of insulting my intelligence.
Nah I don’t want their job. My boss works around my fucked up schedule and my need to haul out of work at a moments notice due to some emergency bullshit at my kids school, like “Hello Ms Hazy, the cops are here, can you come talk your son into coming out of the locker he locked himself in”. She totally understands, which is way worth taking a paycut for. Actually it makes me feel pretty good some days being an expert where there is such an obvious vacuum. I’m the resident tech help for the entire department, so I feel needed, which I know is lame. But it makes up for the days like today, where I feel like force choking people through the phone. (tmi IK)
Nah, totally get that. The feeling important part too. Who doesn’t like to feel needed? specially when dealing with the sort of stuff most people around here deal with.
Baby 5 comes to mind: youtube.com/watch?v=DvvE69UoHjU
@Mf, wow that clip is really dark. The Japanese culture has a bit of a love affair with suicide being the ultimate gift. But still dayam.
Yeah, that’s one of the things that got me hooked on one piece. Out of nowhere: bam! dark moment. Baby 5 in particular is a pretty screwed up character (girl that no one wanted so now will fall for anyone who makes her feel like she’s needed), but almost every character has a heartfelt story line that got them where they are (even secondary characters).
@Mf, after I’m done with Durara I might start back up One Piece.
