Had a proper get out the car and scream road rage event a couple of weeks ago. There is a road I need to drive down to get out to the main road - cars park on both sides meaning two cars can’t pass. In a year of living here I’ve never had a problem as everyone is very good at taking their turn to get through the narrow bit. I was almost at the end of this bit and some nob decided to try to push through anyway, blocking my way out. I stopped and flashed my lights for him to reverse back (he was only 1 car length in). He refused, gesturing that I could squeeze through (I could not). I waited, more gesticulating and eventually he reversed back a metre, but not actually out of the narrow bit. More flashing, gesticulating and still he refused to move. At this point I was late, hormonal and very angry. Got out the car and properly lost it, to the point passers by stopped and stared. He called me crazy and eventually moved the car. Was a deliveroo driver :woman_shrugging:

Probably had one in the last 2 weeks. My parents are very argumentative and they’re the only people I will lose my cool with (because I know it’ll blow over quickly and everyone will forget about it immediately after the yelling stops). I haven’t lost my temper with anyone else for about 15 years.

I wish I could have never spoken to this guy again, left it a year to try and get the money he owed me back because I couldnt face dealing with him, and it was predictably a total ordeal getting it back, now I have to deal with him again as I have been involuntarily storing his stuff he left in my storage space, he is somehow leveraging this a way to be abusive towards me and called me an incel. hopefully shot of him for good come march

Yeah I have seen some of your posts about him. He seems like a massive dick and I may not have been able to keep up my blanking technique with someone like that.

My dad, a few days after the referendum result.

I shouted the immortal line: I’M GOING FOR A WALK… AND A SMOKE!!!

and stormed off.

Just yesterday morning with my mum at about half six in the morning, because breakfast when I have been up since five am so not really with it and am half way through playing out a Clangers story with R is the perfect time to bring up painful and messy subjects.

This. Hold all of my feelings back and invariably it makes things worse and everyone ends up unhappy. WORKING ON IT.

I don’t think I’ve had a proper shouting match with someone since I was a teenager. Might start on one of my housemates tomorrow.

I’m not sure I ever have and this is likely v. bad.

With my stupid in-laws the weekend before last. Didn’t go well. I am generally extremely conflict averse.

31st January. Colleague was being a wally of humungous proportions. I think he’s quit now. :slight_smile:

You’ve won when they call you crazy

When you’re a woman as soon as you get angry or raise your voice you inevitably get called crazy :woman_shrugging:

This. I don’t think I’ve ever really had a major argument with anyone.

I avoid confrontation at all costs, it helps I’m generally laid back, but when I do get annoyed I just bottle it up and stew on it.

Zoso, m8.

I’m done with you

Never. Not bothered at all about anything to be shaking with rage I don’t …

Is this a good thing 🤷
