What was the worst thing you did when you get mad?

I threw up the remote control of our TV and it broke. Felt guilty afterwards and because of that foolishness, I have to spend my money replacing that remote control. Guess, I need some anger management that time. But, I don't do that now when I get mad. I'm learning to stay calm and control myself. What about you? What was the worst thing you did when you get mad?

Hmm once after drinking too much I got very angry when some pervert tried to put the moves on me at a bar. I'd stepped out for some air, and he followed me out to the street. The bar was closed because it was after hours, and this guy thought he had the right to push me up against a wall and grope me. I freaked out, and was unable to be calmed even when my friend got me back inside safely. I screamed and yelled. Pretty much I threw a very childish fit. I Demanded to be taken home, and walked out of the bar and got in my friends car. I was so upset I forgot to pay my tab. I was so embarrassed that I never went back to pay the bill.

That is so scary, I don't know what to say. But, I guess when you're in that situation you can't really pay much attention to some things like paying the bill. I think the bar owner wouldn't mind, well, unless you owe a lot.

Lol... I hope he didn't mind, because there was no way I was going back there. It gave me the creeps just to drive by the place. Gladly I no longer live in the neighborhood.

I rarely get mad. That is the reason why a lot of my friends tag me as a kind person. I am not that happy though because if I want to get mad I can't do it the way I think about it. The worst thing I did when I get mad is to confront a person and tell her everything I hate about her. I did that with my co-boarder who is 5 years younger than me. She lied by saying she did not used our rice cooker well in fact a lot of other boarders are already telling me that she is the suspect. Yes that is a small issue but I really hate liars. I even asked her politely before if she did used it and she said no. Then when she found out from our fellow lady boarders that I am mad at her, she told that to her mom. I was shocked when her mom confronted me about it and that is the time I told her mom to stop spoiling her kid. That is not good and besides she is not aware of what are the other things that her kid is doing at home. Her daughter is stealing money found in some study tables of the students, getting things not hers and she is even smoking inside the house which is not really allowed. I told that to her mom and then they apologized but I was shaking after getting mad and raising my voice a little bit. That is why I don't want to get mad because I shake and my hands get cold even if I am right. The other incident and this is the last one I got mad was last year during the Christmas holidays. I called my previous employer because they have not released the last pay yet. I have been out of the company for 11 months and I told asked them when will they pay me. The Human Resource Staff I talked to over the phone said the higher management is not yet signing the release of the check. Then I asked her when she kept on telling the same reason she does not know. I asked her is she keeps on making follow up to the higher management and she said yes. But when I asked her how many times in a month she emails them she said twice and then said every week. She is not consistent in her answer and that gets in my nerves! I yelled at her and told her I am going to file a complaint if she will not do her job and she will lose it! She will be included together with the company for being liable because they are already fooling a lot of people who resigned in that company. I find that unfair and so I really shouted at her. All the things I could say to threat her, I told that in the phone. Suddenly she kept quiet. She no longer answered me when I asked if she was still on the other line. Then I dropped the phone and again I found my hands shaking and my lips too. I was really upset and mad. Good thing I don't have the attitude of throwing things because I can still calm myself and I can never think of myself doing that.

the_dutchess! I guess the worst thing I did when I got mad is that when I threw my cellphone on the floor. It was a long time agao and I can't remember why I was mad. I was too young to remember it. I am glad that my phone is still ok but it's not my phone anymore. I regret doing it though and I will never do it again.

I have a bad habit of throwing my phone. If I am in a fight with someone over the phone when I hang up I fling it. Once it landed in the darn fishtank. LOL. That didn't calm me down any!! Lesson learned .. if I am going to throw stuff I need to look at where it's going to land first!! :D

LOL, right! Be sure to throw it off to something soft like in your bed or in the couch so it won't get damaged. :D

The good old hiding in the closet is really one of the most effective ways of making parents worried, LOL. :)

I used to have 5110 a long time ago, it was actually my first cellphone and yeah, it didn't get damage easily when you throw it, LOL. It's like it's shock-resistant or something. :) Hope you're doing great.

The worst I do is to kick something. I've kicked chairs or shoes or some available object. I don't believe in breaking things so I don't do that.
• Philippines
12 Feb 09
That's good for you, you know, that you don't break things and kicking is just a mild violence, I guess. Thanks for responding to my discussion.

Boy, those poor remote controls sure take a beating don't they? I am usually pretty in control when I'm mad but there are times when you just gotta break something. The last time I did this I threw a wall clock frisbee style and it missed the target (my boyfriend) and hit a filing cabinet and a wall vent on it's way. I dented all three things (the clock, the cabinet and the vent). In retrospect it was a really silly thing to do and every time I look at the filing cabinet I am reminded of that. The clock was ugly and the vent bent back to shape but the cabinet was permanently damaged.
• Philippines

Well, I guess you just needed a bit of training to hit the target, LOL, just kidding. I think it's pretty normal that we throw things when we get mad 'cause it's a way of releasing the tension and anger inside. It's a good thing that you hurt nobody even if you intended to hit your BF. I mean, it's still wrong to hurt someone. Thanks for your response. :)

I threw out anything I touched when I got mad before. I also cut my hair real short. I think those were the crazy things I did when I was younger.I have calmed myself and am already in control. I think I am feeling mature now. I have learned my lesson well and I don't do it now.;-)
• Philippines
12 Feb 09
Wow, you cut your hair REAL short when you get mad? Not the hair, girl. Well, I don't know, I just don't think it should suffer. But, glad you're learning your lesson and don't do it now :)

The worst thing that i did when i got mad is when i try to kill myself.Actually im not mad but im really really mad/angry and hurt.That was when i found out that my husband is cheating on me.I did a lot of things before but the worst is when i tried to kill myself...Aside from that,i also throw everything that i touch.I always try control myself.but if im really mad,i have no other choice,i have to throw the anger inside my heart.I even broke our big mirror using my hands..That's why i really dont want to get mad.At first,i'll try be patient and take everything even it hurts.But im just a human,i will explode anytime if im really full.
• Philippines
14 Feb 09
Whoa! Calm down, girl. It's no use trying to kill yourself. I mean, it's not the solution to your problem. If your husband cheated, let him be and leave it all to God. The best thing to do is try to mend things emotionally and there are a lot of good ways, move on and hope for the best things to come. Thanks for sharing and I wish you well and the best of luck

Once when I was still about 12 or so I got so mad with my older brother for annoying me, and I furiously stabbed him with a pencil which tip has been sharpened. The tip was broken and etched in his thigh quite deeply, leaving a bleeding hole. My parents scolded me for that and asked me to apologize lol.
• Philippines
12 Feb 09
Sure your parents would scold you, that's something. I guess we all get a bit violent when we were kids back then, lol.

I love to slam doors when I get mad...helps release a bit of the tension that I'm feeling. The worst thing I felt I did was shout back at the person who made me mad, increasing the tension between us. But I'm learning how to control my emotions and not let small things get to me...just because certain people want it to get to me, :) Princess

Screaming at the person would do no good. It's better to slam doors than do that :) Thanks for responding, princessgar.

Lol I just remembered a month ago I threw a whole pot of water on my BF .. but he asked for it. I was doing the dishes and he was drying them, and he asked me if I could please make them a little less wet so his drying job would be easier. And he was completely serious. And I had a pot of water in my hand. LOL :D :D He hasn't helped me with the dishes since. Guess we each earned a lesson there!! LOL

the worst thing i can remember i did when i get mad was throw a pair of scissors to my brother cause he was like making stupid rants. and boy, he was hit in the temple! i did not mean to hit him there but it went straight to his head, i think near his eyes. i felt guilty too so when he told my father about it, i did not answer back to tell what he did. something that would make my father angry of him, except me. i really felt so guilty. what i did was too much! *sighs*
