Re: Have you ever lost your temper on a stranger?
[QUOTE]Oh yes. It's kind of a long story, but I went into blackout panic attack mode on someone over the phone once.

For some reason, I can't imagine you getting that mad! It must have been bad!
[QUOTE]Umm does threatening to sue and/or close their business down count? What about getting into a physical fight?
Posted by andy71781[/QUOTE]
Both count!
I am trying to bring this board to life! I am sad that it has slowed down more now that I am out of school. I am a board killer!

[QUOTE]Yes!! A guy at the bar I work at in the summers, for some unknown reason, smacked my leg last year. Hard. And he happened to hit right on my incision from the surgery I had had one month earlier. I went insane on him.
Posted by RachNRich[/QUOTE]
OMG Rach. That is awful. Men shouldn't hit ladies. Didn't you post about that or am I crazy?
[QUOTE]Yes. Pissed, definately. Intimidating, probably. But polite, I was so excruciatingly polite. Actually, said stranger backed off, nearly wet her self apologizing, and ran away <strong>crying. I caught the little twit actively spreading rumors that a dear, sweet lady I had known for years was actually a man</strong>. Just because the lady was tall. It was hurtful, spiteful, and unforgivably rude. That being said, I don't suffer fools easily, and tend to find many of them in retail and customer service. I do tell them what I think, but rarely lose my temper over it. On those rare occasions, extreme politeness is far more frightening than volume.

What a mean thing to do to someone!
I do fight for a living so I'm ok losing my temper at random.
[QUOTE]Not really
Posted by nda_roxybabe[/QUOTE]
I can believe that!
Best one ever was more when somebody else flipped out on me - I was at a stoplight, and I got rear ended. I got out of the car to check for damage, looked back at the other driver, and she was STILL on her cell phone. So I walked over to her window, and said in a somewhat measured tone, "Don't you know it's a really fucking bad idea to talk on your phone while you're driving?" And then she immediately jumped out of her car, screaming that I'm an uppity biitch and threatening to fight me. After she rear ended me. That was special.

[QUOTE]Well this one guy pushed my pregnant future cousin law (he was drunk and didn't see that she was pregnant) and I hit him. Luckily her husband (an Air Force major) was behind me and pushed the guy away. I do fight for a living so I'm ok losing my temper at random.
Posted by andy71781[/QUOTE]
Hahaha! Did you at least hurt him?
I have lost my temper on someone when I was driving. They pulled into my lane and almost side swiped my car. So, I rode their a$$ for a while and then drove around them and flipped them the bird. That was highly stupid of me to ride someone's a$$ and then shot the bird at them. I have terrible road rage sometimes because I am on the road so much.
[QUOTE]I get into my share of fights with people when I'm walking and then they almost hit me with their cars. Or that time a bunch of kids ran me down with bikes when I was walking in the snow. Best one ever was more when somebody else flipped out on me - I was at a stoplight, and I got rear ended. I got out of the car to check for damage, looked back at the other driver, and she was STILL on her cell phone. So I walked over to her window, and said in a somewhat measured tone, <strong>"Don't you know it's a really fucking bad idea to talk on your phone while you're driving?"</strong> And then she immediately jumped out of her car, screaming that I'm an uppity biitch and threatening to fight me.

Haha well I curse more when I'm shaken up. And I couldn't believe that she hadn't hung up the phone yet. I mean, really...

I get mad, I do but more so at people I know. When I get mad at people I don't know I just angrily cry. I did almost call Wellsfargo back to day to cuss them out, of course, I'm not that brave

OMG no! You know what it was? I didn't remember you posting about this. It was a memory of mine coming back. A few years ago, I also had a guy do this to me when I was waitressing as a cocktail waitress. I was resting at the bar and he came over and slapped me as hard as he could on my leg. He thought it was some type of funny foreplay or whatever. I cried it hurt so bad. My DH threw his a$$ out . He wanted to beat the guy's a$$ but couldn't. I had forgot about that until you mentioned your incident.

<div>I swear--the guys at my bar think it's the greatest thing ever to leave, and punch the servers on the way out. WTF is wrong with men?</div></div>

I don't know. This guy was an asshole though. I think the hitting me in the leg thing was just the last straw.
[QUOTE]Yes, I actually punched a 6' 3" man in the face. I was at a bar/restaurant with a bunch of friends and I was talking with the bartender, when this man, more an acquaintance of my group thought it would be funny to put his hand up my skirt. Luckily for me, about five guys jumped in between us and escorted him out of the bar.
