Id be mad too beave losing $4g.

I start out happy each day but it never takes long for some idiot to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) me off.

I think it’s what you do with the anger that makes the difference. Being angry motivates me, always has.

I might be considered an angry person. But I am a very helpful person. I get angry quick when I deal with people at work that are supervisors that keep coming down on me for not doing my job fast enough or good enough. But never have done my job or even witnessed me doing my job. So I hand them my wrench and tell them to do it and the wrench gets set down and they walk away. Maybe its time for a new job.....

An angry person would coldcock him with the wrench.

I used to be an angry fella.
Then I quit watching the " news".

It's one thing to be disgusted at injustice and the lies of the media, it's another to dwell on the bad and let it take over your life.

See that's the problem. No one else actually has the power to ruin your day. You can decide to just get mad for a moment when someone cuts you off or whatever and then let it go.

Excellent thread. Thanks for the positivity.

People who are insecure talk badly about successful people to make themselves feel better.
If you let another person make you angry, they have beat you

One of my favorite shows-Anger management with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson.LOL

Worked with a guy for 25 years. Not a bad guy, but each time you spoke to him, and I'm dead serious, the first thing that came out of his mouth was. "You know what really pizzes me off" Sure as the sun rises, that's the way he started every conversation. Funny thing is, he usually had a legitimate beef.

There is a difference between anger and no self control.

I’m good until someone peees in my Cheerios…..

I'm afraid that once the sun goes down on our wrath then we have married her and the honeymoon is miserable. Too bad we can't be like the chickens and when we go to roost during an eclipse its only for a short season and then its a brand new day !

What sets you off? I don't get angry driving really... at all... until someone does something stupid and then acts like I'm the one that is in the wrong and proceeds to road rage me b/c they were an idiot. Golly that get me going.

i.e. i was pulling into a gas station one day in my 3/4 ton and some BMW leaves the pump and must have hit 50mph to get to the exit of the station to pull out and almost hit me as I was pulling in. Then he looks up at me and starts waiving his arms and cussing me b/c I'm in his way. That guy got an ear full and anyone at the gas station got a pretty good show.

Try having had someone screw up and kill your son as a result of said screw up. Then see how you react when you see stupid on the road. There have been some not very pretty times in my past. Nothing like sitting in a cort room after changing the shape of a guys face that ran youoff the road then took a swing at you to get you to slow down on your reactions after that. I figured I wouldn't get lucky and everything get dropped a 2nd time.

Usually angry people are negative people. When dealing with people of this sort I point out the simple positives.

One of my favorite ways is to ask them, "Isn't it great to live in a country with air conditioning, hot water, sewage disposal, and food everywhere you go?"

If everyone had two choices out of high school this nation would be much more patriotic. Two years in the military or six months in a third world country. I think the six months would be more effective. First choice of country would be Haiti. I worked with a guy from Haiti and suggested this to him. He laughed and said it would only take one month in Haiti. He was the most relaxed and down to earth guy I have met in a long time. Nothing bothered him.

Anger is concentrated frustration about something that, when looked back on, is usually embarrassing. I speak while pointing at myself.

I have a female friend who is mad at the world all the time successful yes but relationships never and it’s always been her fault for the downhill slides in relationships. She’s a control and clean freak that’s the problem I always told her but it’s a terrible way to go through life
