What is the maddest/angriest you've ever been?

[CHenry]

Once about 20 years ago when I was as spring chicken, in a dance club walking back to the pool table from the bathroom I walk by this couple and they were arguing. He backhands her and my pissed off matter pegged and I was seeing red! I hit him in the face and knocked him out. The bouncers weren't going to kick me out for hitting a DB but suggested I leave in case the cops showed up. So I left.

I've been know to cuss and throw inanimate objects when trying to repair things, but when it comes to people I usually just walk away

This.

Just last night, putting a new tire on my Cub Cadet. Cut the old tire off, no problem, but trying to get that new one on?

I know there are tools for this, but I have a screwdriver, damn it.

Round 2 tonight.

Everybody post all of that stuff in here that way I can use it against you when you disagree with me in other threads.

Good luck with that. I replaced the fronts on my Zero Turn last summer. Those little smooth POS 8" tires. I ended up clamping a bolt in a bench vice pointed up that I could slide the wheel down on to hold it still. Then coated the crap out of bead on the tire and wheel with dawn dish soap. Then proceeded to get irate with it. One went on in about 5 minutes. The other took about 15 minutes with the use of a rubber mallet. I had bloody knuckles sitting there drinking that beer admiring my work, but damn it felt good. Getting them to bead up was another hassle but it got done. I wish you the best.

Love the new avatarr BTW.

There are lots of anecdotes about people who've been 'blinded by rage' or committed a 'crime of passion', but I can't recall a time I've ever just lost my crap at something/someone.

Maybe my temperament is mellow, or maybe I'm a lover and not a fighter.

The maddest I have ever been was playing football in 6th grade against Monroney. I played tightend. The dude lining up across from me towered over me and had belly button hair. I was 14 years old, he might have been 21.

He physically abused me every snap, play after play of just shoving me down, grabbing my pads and twisting them, or just slapping my earhole until my ears popped.

At the end of the game, I was so mad at that guy I wanted to kill him and quit the team. (Which might have been better anyway, I didn't play more than 20 snaps after that game.)

It was tough, but I don't think I've ever been that mad again.

How about you?

I'm sorry, if I knew you'd still be so upset, I wouldn't have treated you that way.

But in all fairness, you were two or three years older than the rest of the 6th graders, so you had it coming to you.

As an adult, only my sister and girlfriends have made me ridiculously angry. Women, man. And road rage. I've never not been able to control my temper, though.

I once had a newb engineer raise his voice to me and start cursing. He had 8 of a particular length part on my order...call it PN# 100. Two of the 8 measured out to a longer length...the length for PN# 101.He said "we'll just re-nameplate those two to PN# 101, then it'll be right". I had to explain to him that yes, the nameplates would be correct to the item, but the site would get 2 too many of one part and 2 too few of another, going by the lengths on the PO. I **** you not. He may have been lunch drinking or something, but he honestly thought this would work. I initially started laughing because I thought he was kidding. We argued more. I called the guy I was working for and he incredulously asked "wait, are you sure you're talking to the engineer???" I explained yes, yes I was. Engineer and PM in one. That speaker call ended and the engineer got heated. He still thought he was right. I turned around and walked out of his office.

He asked where the hell I was going. I said I don't make a habit of standing around getting yelled at by anyone I'm not blood related to or who isn't sleeping with me, and when you can speak to me like a fukcing adult, I'll come back. And hopefully you'll have my two missing parts built.

He was real nice the next morning. My two parts were on the floor.

Is that after you get the tire on in a celebratory type fashion?

At the age of 13 my daughter was molested by her step-father,,,
In court he testified that she came on to him so it was all her fault.

When the judge declined to jail him I lost it.

My Mom asked the county sheriff deputy to escort me to my car,,,
She was afraid I would kill him,,,
I really wanted to.

That was probably a good thing my Mom did,,,
I was so angry that I would have done something stupid.

If my Dad and brothers hadn't kept a real close 2-week watch on me,,,
I might have done one of the stupid things I contemplated,,,
But fortunately for me (and him) I was in the service,,,
Two weeks later I was in Tae-Jon-Dong, S. Korea.

The story has a somewhat happy ending though,,,
I saw him again about three years later,,,
I goaded him into swinging on me,,,
He's still alive and breathing,,,
But now walks with a limp.

According to the judge who heard my case in late 1970's Oklahoma,,,
When a drunken man comes at you with a broken beer bottle,,,
It is perfectly acceptable to shatter one of his knees.

Aahhh,,,
Good times.
