Are you quick to anger?

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

Or does it take a lot to cheese you off? I must admit that one bad word could get me mad pretty quick.

[Speedy Boris]

I'm very opinionated about particular topics, such as those discussed on Toonzone, or even in debates with friends. However, I always try to be polite and not start verbal or physical fights. Must be my Swiss background... ;)

[zmanjz]

yes.

Injustice, screwing with true love, and hurting little kids drives me into a rage...

I don't know why.

[Jaguar]

I am very easy to anger. My temper is so short in fact that I normally act loudly and/or violently to anyone that ticks me off. Almost everything makes me angry.

[The Falcon]

i really do try to strive to be a calm, cool, collective person. but, if anybody harms my family or friends, especially my family, i get really, really upset. i've been known to punch holes through doors and blocks of ice with my fists. one time, a kid on the bus (he was 17) was picking on my little sister and i got a little furious when i saw this behavior (i was 17). before i knew it, i gave him two black eyes and kept continuously punching him until the bus driver came back and got me under control. i haven't fought anyone since...

[Speedy Boris]

I've never been in a physical fight in my life. Granted, nobody has hacked my sister or family... I might in that case...

[DianaGohan]

I would say it takes a lot for me to become really "pissed". I've been commented on having a lot of patience, but also not a good person to be around when that patience is lost.

[Sora Takenouchi]

I like to think I have a long fuse. I have blown up a few, but it's pretty rare. I'm actually pretty calm.

The only person who can get my goat in a short amount of time is my b!tch sister.

[BLACKHEART]

In the past if you were like to piss me off I would be really quick to bite off your head but over the course of the past few months I have changed greatly. :)

[Lucky Bob]

It takes a LOT to make me mad. It takes even more to make me carry a grudge. Suffice to say that if you're a chronically willfully obstinate jerk, or you ever attack one of my friends, you have crossed the line.

[Starflyer 58]

Well, it all depends. My two older brothers know exactly what it takes to tick me off. But otherwise it's pretty tough to get under my skin; I don't think I've ever blown up in public before, I'm usually too quiet and reserved. People just know me as "that girl who smiles a lot".

[RogueMartian]

It's fairly easy to get me to blow my stack, but i'm a fairly logical person, so as easily as my temper flares, it goes out equally as easily. Often times even faster.

As for genuine anger? That's difficult if not impossible to do. I don't offend easily and I don't carry a grudge unless you make e genuinely angry. I'd say maybe five or six people in my entire life have caused me to get that angry, and usually all I do is just stop talking to them.

[jeffrey 228]

Yes, and usually it happeneds if I'm teased, threatened, or in any matter somebody should have not done somthing that would break or messup somthing, that is when my kettle in my head gets very upset and blows ( just a little somthing in my head to think about).

[Rune]

It depends on who is winding me up and what the subject/point is. I always have endless patience with children and in the past when I've had various customer-service based jobs I've had to pretend I've had endless patience with members of the public (anyone who works in fast food or customer service/telesales will know what I mean)

On the other hand in everyday life now, I do have 2 distinct modes of operation, if the calm & level-headed half of me is 'in control' then my fuse is pretty long. Unfortunately the calm half defuses all the crap it may have to deal with by shoving it into some ill lit dark backstreet corner of my mind. It follows then that when I'm having a bad day and the 'don't mess with me' half is working the dials then its got all this stored up vitriol as well as just feeling on the edge and it might only take a look or a verbal nudge to start the fireworks. :evil:

[Outlander00]

*hugs Pink Panther Runey* I know exactly how you feel :)

I have a very bad temper... sorry, let me rephrase that... a temper that is very attrocious and it is something I am not too proud of. To give you an idea as to how bad it is, when I was a kid (8 or 9 I believe) I physically bodyslammed a 15 year old who had picked on me constantly (after that day, he never picked on me). From then on my parents immediately tried to get me to not to be so angry when I am pushed, to be laid back, etc. It has worked for the most part, but there still times where I will lose it to the point of being physical... Like I said, I dont like it at all.

It takes a lot to set me off, now, to get me that far. However there are certain buttons that will set me off, if pushed. Basically, people that are incredibly rude and just act like... well.. you know. There are others, but then that be giving my secrets away :p

[Joe Mama]

Unless you're my brother or sister, I'm not gonna get mad at you. I'm not that easy to anger. Granted if someone starts trying to physically hurt me, I might hit back, but I still won't get mad at him.

[Bubblegum Girl]

I get angry when someone(Mostly my parents) nags/yells/scolds at me. I just can't stand being yelled at or being told what I do is wrong.

[jrh31584]

I am very slow to anger at home, but here at college, I get angry much faster.

[Tienshin]

I am pretty even tempered; I tend to get frustrated more than angry. But only a few people or things really get under my skin these days. Blowing your top is too exhausting, and usually not worth the mental anguish.

[Simpler Simon]

I'm very quick to anger, but I can usually keep it under control. However, some days it feels like it's building up, and the next person who pisses me off will spend the rest of their life on a respirator...

[Speedy Boris]

in the past when I've had various customer-service based jobs I've had to pretend I've had endless patience with members of the public (anyone who works in fast food or customer service/telesales will know what I mean) YES! I had a summer job at a fast food-type place and you know what always bugged me? When I'd take someone's order and they'd start with "I need..." You don't NEED anything- you need a thesaurus. :rolleyes: Instead, why not try saying "I'd like..." or "I'll have..." or "Could I get..." or anything else. "I need" makes me feel inferior to them, like I'm their slave. It's like saying "I need a glass of lemonade- fetch, peasant!" (WHIP!)

[supermonkey]

when people attempt to insult some one or make fun of some one in a group like a pack of dogs, it cheezes me off. People seem to get more courage in situations like that and are even more obnoxious then general. This happens all the time especially to some people more than others. At least deal with issues one on one, and as civil as possible of course.

But we are all human.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

I've never punched holes into walls or been THAT physical with people, but the angrier I get, the more sarcastic, condescending and progressively antagonistic I get. In some ways, I get the other guy just as mad as me.

I once knew someone who got so angry he smashed a window with his fist, damaging some of the nerves in his hand permanently. I'm not THAT out of control, but I can make people cry or get upset with my verbal insults, which is almost as bad...

[Nick Biped]

Generally not. The only person that really pushes my buttons at times (and where I obviously get angry) is my brother. And even then, as he's gotten older, it's not as bad as it was (or at least I like to think so).

It's usually more that I get frustrated at times, but I don't really show outright anger. Anyways, I don't usually get upset at things.

[SilverKnight]

The only thing that pisses me off is disrespect.

Of course, that's a very broad explanation...:D

Really, I'd like to think that I have a lot of patience about most things. But, as I said, people acting disrespectfully or questioning my word (I despise being accused of things) really annoys the hell out of me. That also applies to friends and family.

Yeah. I have issues. >smiles<

[Eddy]

Well, usually I can stay polite and keep anger bottled up inside...

...But children just plain piss me off. Sorry, but they do. Not all of them, but many of them do. The litle brats who scream and cry all the time and want everything there way. My baby cousin who can't be entertained by something for more than five seconds and forced us to watch that God-awful Noggin channel.

I can not tolerate most kids. Later today I have to babysit my other cousin. She's a kid, yet I can tolerate her. So it isn't all kids. Just the loud, bratty, hyper ones.

And don't use any "when you were a kid you were like that" stuff. I was not like that when I was a kid.

But I know to never let my anger loose. I keep it inside and just show signs of being pissed off. I can control my rage.

[Damien]

Am I quick to what? What'd you just say to me? Quick to anger? Heck no, I'm not quick to anger! Get outta my face!

Actually, the only things that really get to me are the stupid things at work (servers not stacking the dishes, throwing silverware in with the sauce cups, leaving bread boards with the dishes..) and arguements my grandma tends to start with me.
At work, I just stack plates in front of the servers and arrange the stacks while they're around, just to make it painfully obvious. Bread boards I just take over to this shelf where they keep various things like their drinks (I used to just push them off my counter). Gunky silverware I can't do much about.
