Do you break things when you are angry?

We have a new hole in the wall at work. One of my co-workers has a temper by the looks. My friend says when her and her husband fight they throw things and break things. I wonder to myself what could possibly make one so mad they would break things? I am an anti-breaker, how about you?

I am an anti-breaker too. I am not an incredible hulk but i sure can be the worst enemy you'll ever have when you make me angry.(^^,)

Not really, i am more of the "at peace type" But when worse comes to worst especially when someone that i love is getting hurt, then they better watch out.(^^,)

When adults throw things when they're angry then they have a serious mental problem. It's NOT normal. They need some counseling to learn how to deal with their anger.

Whywiki when I was younger I was likely to pick up the nearest thing to me and give it a throw at the persons head I was yelling at. i think mine is from growing up with 2 bothers. I do not do it to often anymore and if I do throw something it is a pillow or something non breakable.

I used to smash my stuff when I was in a rage over boyfriend sh!t. One time I slammed the tv off the shelf it was on and broke my favorite record besides. Plus the window. I've had a lot of boyfriends that broke out windows and punched holes in walls too. I am so glad those days are behind me!

Unfortunately for me, I have broken things in the midst of anger. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people hang up the phone in my ear (mainly during an argument). I broke a phone behind that once.

I don't throw or break things when I am angry. I feel if I break something I will have to replace it. But I have thought about it but the having to replace it always stops me....lol

Not me, I don't want to break my valuables when I'm angry. But I have a friend who did. when she and her husband had an argument, and she wants that her husband should listen to her, she will throw everything that are breakable that she could see just to let her husband keep quiet. she told me that her husband would usually get nervous when she is doing this.
But then, the valuables things are not suppose to be damaged by that nonsense idea. Maybe there is another way of solving the problem. I don't want to do that no matter how angry I am.

I'm shocked that your coworker was allowed to engage in such behavior. I can't see that being acceptable in a workplace situation.
I can understand wanting to break something, but I limit myself to slamming doors and stomping. If I ever gave in to the urge to do more than that, I'd probably see about getting therapy or counseling to help me deal with my anger. That amount of anger can't be healthy for you, in general, and I'd fear that it could get out of control and actually do damage to more than things.
I'm too 'sensitive' to tolerate yelling and screaming, though.
