What is the worst thing you've done in anger?

[m-jean03]

Yelled, screamed, broken something, assaulted someone?

I have done all of these things, I have to admit.:( I've got a temper, though I've gotten it somewhat under control I think. Or maybe I just haven't been provoked enough lately}(

Confess your sins!

[soleft]

1. I broke a car windshield once

That was costly.

[kimchi]

8. Me too.

My first husband and I had a fight and I threw my coffee cup through his rear window as he was backing out.

He knew better than to start that shit before my first cup o' java!

I've never thrown anything at my present husband. I suppose I've grown up a bit.

[Nlighten1]

2. I beat the crap out of a bunch of people.

It wasn't unprovoked though...they started it...I finished it.

[the Kelly Gang]

3. smashed a friends ashtray that had been a present from the Director of the

Museum of Modern Art in NY. ( he didn't smoke but it was considered a piece of classic sculpture)

I never forgave myself.

[HEyHEY]

4. Attack someone with a badminton racket

Good thing for them they ducked.

[m-jean03]

10. Hey, I attacked someone with a tennis racket!

I was 9 years old and at summer camp, and she had stolen my favorite sweater and put it in the trash with a bunch of gross stuff.

She didn't duck. Ouch!

[HEyHEY]

11. I think I was nine too!

[lilymidnite]

5. Threw a lawn chair at a

... concert goer because he wouldn't sit down in front.

PS. It was a *Nanci Griffith* concert.

[TrogL]

6. threatened somebody with a broken beer bottle

No, I don't want to talk about it.

[Van Helsing]

7. I killed a man in Reno just to watch him die...

Kidding. The worst I have done out of anger was physically assault someone. The jerk deserved it...trust me. Other than that, I normally break things when I'm angry and do the whole yelling/screaming episode. A couple of times, thought, I have actually been involved in fist-fights.

[MinnFats]

24. So, now when you hear that lonesome whistle,....

....do you hang your head and cry?


(by the way, I think you "shot" a man in Reno.) Don't get angry!

[dolo amber]

9. Threw my wedding ring

into the Ohio river. That was really dumb, I shoulda pawned the damn thing. :evilgrin:

[Tom_Foolery]

12. I live near the Ohio River...

I'll keep an eye out for it. :)

[Whitacre D_WI]

23. Yeah, that was pretty dumb.

I have nothing to add, just wanted to tell you that was dumb.

[HEyHEY]

13. Do fights count actually?

Cause if they do, yeah...I've punched a lot of people. Mostly in Junior High.

[m-jean03]

21. I'm kind of jealous of guys

who have been in fist fights. I have hit a few people, once with a tennis racket, but no one ever really fought back! :shrug:

[HEyHEY]

32. Okay this sounds macho and stupid

During all those fights, I rarely EVER got hit. Usually someone would provoke me, and I'd lose it....and just go crazy bastard on them. They'd never have a chance

[Bertha Venation]

14. told the world to fucking fuck off right the fuck now

like i feel like doing now

[bubblesby2002]

29. Hey Bertha what's the matter?

I don't like it when you're upset. It makes me feel bad.:hi:

[Bertha Venation]

33. oh, bubblesby...

my baby is getting better, but not quickly enough to suit my tender heart (let alone herself!)

everybody wants money, and I don't have any

but mostly, I'm scared to death about politics in this country today, and it's clutching at my chest.

Thanks for asking!

[bubblesby2002]

34. If it makes you feel any better

I think you are one of the nicest people I've met on this board. And anytime you want to talk just pm me. You helped me a lot when I first joined. Sometime it would be a pleasure to meet you.:hug: :hug:

[m-jean03]

39. I second that.

Bertha is really wonderful and she has every damn right to be pissed off!! She should burn an effigy of Wolf Blitzer or something. On the Capital steps perhaps?

[Whitacre D_WI]

15. I killed a bunch of people once.

Heh heh. Mm. Yeah, that was pretty cool.

[m-jean03]

19. LOL

You're a real Butthead, you know that??:D

[Whitacre D_WI]

20. I need T.P. for my bunghole!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. i generally hurt myself in anger

[NoPasaran]

17. I can't tell you

But I have regretted it ever since and never done it again.

[devilgrrl]

18. Harassed people I hated when I was a teenager online...

Kept spamming them... we won't be burying axes any time soon. It was a dumb thing to do but they were jerks.

[Whitacre D_WI]

22. I really dig your Nico avatar.

:hi:

[devilgrrl]

36. Thanks!

:yourock:

[THUNDER HANDS]

25. I bit my dresser

Hey, how's this for an orignial way to relieve stress.

I just bit the corner of my dresser and gnawed my teeth on it for a little while.

I calmed down soon after.

I don't get upset very often, but when I do it's either hilarious or just plain sad.

[Quahog]

46. If you don't object...

... I'm going to write a song called "I Bit My Dresser." That is one of the most surreal things I've ever come across.

[kmla]

26. There are a few holes in the drywall at one of my past homes...

But it was only in the garage, or in the utility room, and it wasn't finished or anything like that...

When I moved to the next house, I found out that plaster is much harder than drywall. Ouch.

[forgethell]

27. Nothing

Do them all in cold blood. I worked for a man once who had been a sniper in Vietnam. He came home and wanted to marry a woman. Her family were dead set against it. "What if he got angry and shot you?" She married him anyway. As he told me, "Forgethell, I could never live with myself if I killed somebody in a rage. If I kill them, I want to know that I wanted them dead." Now I don't recommend killing someone, but it struck my mind that he was right. You don't want to do something in a rage, and then live with the regrets. If it needs to be done, and probably it won't, do it after you've calmed done and considered. this was close to 20 years ago, now, and I've followed this advice.

[Donkeyboy75]

28. Broke my friend's nose when I was 13.

Beat the stuffin' out of him after he threw a hammer at me and hit me in the head! Miraculously, it didn't hurt (the mallet bounced right off the middle of my forehead), but I went into a blind rage instantly.

Needless to say, my friend had some issues. I don't keep in touch with him anymore, but he's had serious drug problems and been in and out of jail. An example of how shitty parents can fuck up a person who is generally good at heart. :(

[Screaming Lord Byron]

30. Thrown a few punches, stole some things, threatened devastation

the usual.

[bubblesby2002]

31. I've yelled and screamed and thrown things but once when my

husband was still alive and he was having a mild heart attack - I didn't know that then though - I was so angry with him. We had an argument over his cocaine use and I told him he could fucking die before I would take him to the hospital. Of course I relented and took him to the hospital. He was there for a couple of weeks. The heart attack was caused by the coke.

It still pisses me off when I think about it.

[Shananigans]

35. When I was younger I punched my mom's windsheild...

oops! Once in college I pushed my roommate for leaving me alone at the bar. That's about it...

[skippysmom]

37. I slapped someone once in college

Interestingly we're still speaking.

[VOX]

38. Threw a glass through a window, chased drivers, screamed my lungs out...

The usual adolescent, silly fare.

Proud to say that I haven't indulged in these wasteful and depleting behaviors for many, many years.

Anger is, of course, a legitimate emotion and should be expressed in constructive ways, but rage is quite another animal.

[name not needed]

40. Beat the shit out of 5 people

That was in 2nd grade. No problems from them in 7 or so years.

[noonwitch]

41. I threw pop cans at a roommate who tried to sleep with my boyfriend

I was better off without him. I kicked her out and got a new roommate.

[Lizz612]

42. Grabbed a guy's wrist

and dug my fingernails in for nearly a minute. When I stopped he was bleeding from four small cuts. I was provoked, and he was pushing my friend around. Yes my nails are long, yes they are real, and yes they can do serious damage. Its the only time I have made someone bleed on purpose.

[qb]

43. Threw a balloon at my wife. With all of my might.

No injuries, obviously, but I scared the shit out of her.

[Mrs. Venation]

44. Shot At A Wife Abuser

I wasn't really angry, I was helping her leave the low-life scumbag. He came outside, and I pulled a pistol on him. He said he didn't think I knew how to use a gun, and I fired a shot near his feet. Then I told him if he even as much as breathed hard, the next shot would make him wish he was dead.

God knows what I'd have done if I was angry.

[neverborn]

70. Good job.

[Quahog]

45. I shouldn't admit this

There was a woman I was in love with, we'd been together for the better part of a year. She lied to me in a BIG and deeply hurtful way. So I spent a week pretending I was getting over it, and then another six months building up a relationship where she was totally reliant on me and our plans for the future. Then I dumped her and let her know it was because she had lied to me six months earlier.

I don't tend to rage, my anger tends to be a slow burn kind of thing....

[bratcatinok]

47. I once threw a glass

down the stairs at a garage apartment I lived in. The stairwell was enclosed and had a concrete floor. My husband had just left after we'd had a fight and I was highly pissed off. I picked up a glass and threw it with all my might down the stairs.

It bounced off the concrete and didn't break. I felt silly and stupid that I couldn't even break a glass when I wanted to. Then I realized I'd be the one to have to clean it up if it did break so I never tried that again.

[The empressof all]

48. x-lax brownies

Baked them for a boyfriend who was full of ----well you know what.

He had a very moving experience.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

49. My dad did that in Jr High

There was a bully who kept stealing his lunch... :evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

50. Road rage

About 15 years ago...

I was driving along the Beltway in the third lane, and the next thing I knew, a woman in the fast lane was honking her horn and giving me the finger.

My initial thought was "Jeeeeze lady.....whatever I did, I'm sorry!"
But then she sped in front of me, cut me off, and slammed on her brakes. By this point I realized I had a true nutcase in front of me, so I slowed down.

Unfortunately she slowed down too, and with fast-moving traffic behind us, this was becoming a really dangerous situation. So the next time she slammed on her brakes, I sped up and veered around her on the right side, crowding way into her lane (I was driving a van, and she had a small economy car). At that point she undoubtedly figured that I was a true nutcase as well, and left me alone.

I was shaking like a leaf after that encounter...

[Redleg]

51. Killed a cat with a pellet gun.

Here's the short version:
I had been drinking gin & tonics (ginnantonix) with my college room-mates. I decided to take the garbage out after it was dark. I opened the door to the community garbage can shed and a million angry and startled cats sprang forth, nearly causing me to shit my pants. I was angry so I rushed back to the apartment to retrieve my pellet gun and my drunk room-mate and went back to the shed. He opened the door, some more cats came screaming out and I fired at the last cat. It was an amazingly lucky shot- I hit this running cat in the eye and he tumbled to a stop by the chain-link fence. I finished him off and went back inside to finish-off the gin.

Yes, I do feel awful about that incident but you did ask what's the worst thing I had done. I have done other violent acts, but only to people who had it coming. The cat in this case was innocent.

[jimbo fett]

52. Put 137 hookers in shallow, unmarked graves.

JUST KIDDING!!!

There were 136, not 137.

[johnnie]

53. Long story but...

...quite a while ago when my ex-fiance' left me for some young kid and she left some of her stuff in our rented house for months. I eventually got the stuff out of the house and packed it in the garage.
I saw her a few weeks later looking thru my garbage (I would have never thrown her stuff out), so I went out and asked her what she was looking for. She thought I threw away her things and I told her they are all in the garage, just pull up and get them out. (She had her new guy in the car). Her guy told her no...and they both laughed at me ( I suspected they were stoned). Well, that pissed me off so I drug her things out to the curb...and then... I pissed on them all.
I know it was wrong, but you would have to know the whole story. The only person that didn't find it funny was her because they swung by the next day and grabbed the things off the lawn. The ended up keeping them in the car all day and it was pretty hot that day. I guess they didn't like what they found at the end of the day.

55. Screamed at my husband that I didn't want HIM to take me to the hospital,

stormed out of the house and started to walk to the psych ward in the pouring rain (I was severely suicidal and was going to check myself in). I stopped halfway there in an alleyway and decided to just get it over with right there and started sawing at myself. Something made me look around myself at the dirty, nasty alleyway, and it just seemed too sordid to be found dead in the trash and oilstains behind a tire shop. I made a deal with myself, that if I could reach my husband on the cellphone, I wouldn't do it. I called him. The second he answered, my cellphone battery died. I started to walk toward the hospital again, and happened to pass a payphone. I made myself another deal; if I had twenty-five cents, I'd call him. I didn't - I had fifteen cents - but there was a dime in the coin return in the payphone. I kid you not.

I called John and he came and got me and brought me home, where I took two Valium and went to bed for two days. I've not been that bad since, thankfully.

[guitar man]

56. Beat a guy damn near to death with a ball bat

After he had shot me in the leg with a pistol. I fully intended to kill him and thought I had or I woulddn't have stopped when I did.

I caught him trying to rape a woman behind a bar. I yanked him off of her and punched his lights out. I took the woman back inside,called her a cab and sent her home since she insisted the police not be called. When I came out of the bar later,he showed up in the parking lot with a pistol and shot me. the pistol jammed or he might have killed me. Bad for him,I got my bat out of my truck and went to town on his ass.

62. There's nothing remotely funny about any of that.

[ronnykmarshall]

58. Threw a phone against the wall.

Smashed pictures.

The person that caused this outburtst deserved the phone smashed against his head.

59. "I knew a guy..."

we'll say his name was Dan.

As a teenager, Dan had a school friend (who we'll call John) who stole a pricey little collection of silver dollars from Dan's Dad. There was no doubt that John was the guilty party. Unfortunately, Dan wasn't the most sober kid on the block, and Dan's Dad blamed him for the loss.

For revenge, Dan broke into John's house while he and his parents were on summer vacation. Some time back, John had shown Dan a collection of silver quarters, dimes and dollars which John's father kept in 5 old pickle jars in a box in their garage.

Dan took enough silver dollars to reimburse those stolen from his own father, then stashed one jar in his so John's room, in the closet, in the guy's dirty clothes, where he knew the dude's mom would find it when they got home.

While he was looking for the coins, Dan found a collection of really nasty pornography and a few pieces of "adult paraphenalia." It was all very sordid, especially considering that John's family were solid church going folk, and John's mom was a preachy old lady who liked to call Dan's father to rag on him about his son's moral uncertainty.

Dan took one or two particularly perverted bits of the stash and hid them with the coins.

It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall when the shit hit the fan in that house. Dan never found out what happened exactly, but John ended up grounded for the rest of the summer and lost his car to boot. When he finally got his freedom back, Dan approached him and said "You fucked with the wrong guy, are we clear on that?"

The guy stammered an apology, but never showed his face around Dan again. Dan grew up to be a decent family man, and never stole anything again (as far as I know, of course :) ).

That was definitely the worst thing Dan ever did.

[JVS]

63. Great story

[MacCovern]

60. betrayed by friend: told her friends about her porno column

This just happened in the last week actually!

I found out someone who I thought was a friend had been
lying and misleading me for a very long time, and I wanted
to talk to her about it on the phone. She refused to have
the decency to do so and I got so fed up I emailed three
of her friends and sent links to her former online porno
column that dealt mostly with her life in Las Vegas as
a part time prostitute. In her "column" she was describing
her experiences with her johns! Initially, I was going to tell
her mother also, but after I calmed down I decided that
would not be right.

For me, dealing with her drug issues, and being emotionally
distant was one thing, but I knew her for over two years,
and then to find out she was telling me one big lie after
another and the one time I really needed to talk on the
phone she absolutely refused.

[dolo amber]

61. I can't believe Skittles

never showed up in this thread with her "Shot the tires out of my ex-boyfriend's car" story... :D

[MacCovern]

64. skittle might have done something worse than that

but I still think my story was much better!

[Commendatori]

65. Punched out my waiter

It wasn't that he was hitting on my then-girlfriend, it was HOW he did it ("accidentally" falling and grabbing her chest). I grabbed the back of his face and pounded it into the table a few times and told him "that's your tip, you transparent fucking asshole."

When the cops came, even the guy's boss and co-workers admitted that it was obvious what he was doing. I didn't get charged, but I did get asked not to come back.

[Westegg]

66. Murder/suicide...

Me and the young woman who refused my advances. In retrospect, she didn't deserve it, I guess. I mistook her wasted grin across the bar as a come-hither glance. I came hither. And the next thing you know---blah, blah, blah, life wasn't worth living WITHOUT her, no OTHER man could ever have her. Etc. Same old same old. I now regret this rash act. Satan knows, I've got eternity to stew on it! Whereas I?---I needed to die. The whole stinking world is better off without me. You know I'm right.

Good thread!

From Hell,
(and waiting to be deleted) I remain,

Yours fondly

Westegg

[camero]

67. Had a guy up against a tree

with my hand around his throat. He had hit a girl I liked. Another time when I was 17 I slammed a friend's car door so hard that I shattered the window. I've calmed considerably.

[Westegg]

68. Edit (spelling error)

...apart from raising my voice in anger and maybe bruising a knuckle once or twice after punching a wall, I can't say I've done anything really bad. I had a girlfriend once who I really loved and who broke up with me (No, I can't imagine why she did it either), and so I sent her a couple angry letters. Which she coldly, masterfully turned around on me. Like, "Oh reeaalllly, Westegg. That's what you think about me, huh? Well how 'bout I tell you why YOU'RE such a schmuck/loser."

She later became a lesbian nun in Tibet. Or so I always assumed...

[Bonhomme Richard]

69. Sorry, can't think of anything.

Maybe I'm having a "W" moment.
