I slammed a bedroom door so hard the other day it came off its bloody hinges. And all because i couldn't get the cat in his basket to take him to the vets.

The o/h is none the wiser though as I quickly screwed the hinges back in to place.

Terrible business.

All the time.

I got so fked off with the stupid bloody clothes airers falling over I threw them down the stairs. Of course they are now bent and broken, and they took big gouges out of the plaster which I have had to fill and sand. Then couldn't get a shirthanger off the curtain rail and got cross with it, marking the wall I only painted a few months ago and will now need repainting. Still, got my own back by snapping the plastic coathanger into small pieces and throwing in the bin.

Then there was the time I broke a vase and in my anger threw my watch on the sofa, catching one of the dining chairs and leaving a big gash in it.

Or the time when I got cross with the ironing board and forced it into position, bending a bit of metal on the back. Of course, I couldn't admit defeat and throw it out so I then spent a good hour trying to fix it. It's still a bit knackered to this day.

Me, anger management problem? fk off!

Full tilt poker.

Runner runner to do me out of a few hundred quid. Laptop at the wall = £400.

My mate lost his temper with the welder (was an SIP one and the wire feed kept randomly slipping so the weld looked like bird st) whilst trying to finish a car for MOT booked for the next day.
Took the mask off and chucked it on the floor.
Broken. At 10pm.

"Turn your head and squint a bit?" didn't go down well.

Never actually seen the rage smiley (hardly 'smiley' but 'ragey' doesn't really work) used before - I thought mad was as furious as we could get. Thanks for the tip!

irked - you lost me.
In a fit of anger, you took your watch off and threw it? WYF

Where was your handbag?
WYF? Does that stand for 'Were you fked'?

Surly something that could only be done in alcohol fuelled rage!

Yep. I couldn't get signal on my phone or O2 server was down or something, and I was so annoyed! So I went to sit down on some steps and completely smashed the screen full force on purpose and it's now completely useless!!

Bruised and cut knuckles, smashed light switches and holes in the bedroom wall.
Bugger.

Anger management issues? Quite possibly.

Smash a phone on the kitchen floor...not mine, so not so bad really.

But never been so angry in my life....it was either the phone, or his balls!

When I were a lad...

Kicked the front wing in on my Fiat Uno because it had the audacity to run out of petrol on me.

Yes.

Home phone was thrown against the wall a couple of weeks ago after the battery died on me whilst I had been on hold for 10 minutes. Trip to John Lewis for replacement the next day cost a Saturday morning and £120

Frying pan was launched, still smoking, down the garden the other night after the bacon lardons I was frying stuck to it.

Washing basket was launched down the stairs the other night after I tripped over it on the landing in the dark. It broke and the annoying thing is that I bought it in John Lewis when I replaced the phone.

I seem to have less and less patience with things that don't work or get in my way as I get older.
