Short temperedness

Post Reply New Topic

I tend to have a short fuse- was nicknamed 'The Hulk' when I was young due to my ability to go from calm to explosive in one second.

I admittedly have a short temper on a select few things. Exceedingly long grocery checkout aisles often throw me into a full on vicious rant about the inefficiency of humans (not screaming) on a bad day. People telling me to do obvious things as if they might see me as a blind brain dead dimwit is a mild irritant as well. Having any routine greatly disturbed of which I may religiously follow just as well seems to drive me up the wall. I do not take medicines though as the side effects are for me often more of a hardship than the beneficial effects so I medicate my irritability with liquor instead.

I just wish I could control myself well........ I can never seem to do so.

Depends. If I know that something is going to tick me off, I can go through strategies to distract myself/ rationalize whatever the hell the person is going to do that will irritate me. If I'm caught off guard, I will probably yell a lot / be really biting and harsh.

Over the last decade I have learned to control my anger, but there are still holes in the wall at my dad's place that I put there.

Even as an adult, I find it amazing that I can be a full-on volcano at times.

We had our company Christmas party yesterday. One of the topics that came up was the only time nearly anyone here heard me get mad enough to yell.

Several months ago I was sitting in my office one day when I heard some minor noises from behind the office (the office itself, not the building). Behind my office is two floors of storage area. I figured that someone was moving some boxes around.

All of a sudden the noises got real strange and I turned around. There was a dog coming through the ceiling. It had broken a ceiling panel and was holding on with its front legs while its back legs dangled below.

I started yelling at the dog (in rather strong language), but that was only making the dog panic even worse. It was flopping around trying to pull itself up by its front legs, but every time it pulled itself up, it came down on another ceiling panel and broke it as well. After a number of broken ceiling panels as well as the structure that holds the panels in place, it finally fell through and landed half on my main office desk (I have five desks) and half in a trash can.

It didn't take long for everyone in the building to come back and see my office. One coworker told her husband about it and said that he had trouble going to sleep that night because he kept breaking out in laughter as he thought about it.
