I remember typing up a 900-odd word paper for school a long time ago. I hadn't saved it yet. I wasn't thinking when I hit the X icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. A window popped up asking if I was sure I didn't want to save, and stupidly I hit the "yes" button. It took only a few seconds for my brain to register what I just did. I flew into a rage, cussing up a storm, and punching and throwing pillows around my room for probably five minutes. I did the paper again and submitted it with only 450 or so words.

Other times I've raged: First person shooter multiplayer, enough said

@gamerguru100: I tend not to lose my shit over things as its counterproductive to finding a solution. The last time I remember getting actually angry was at a member of a team I was working with at work. He was a very junior guy who thought he knew better than all of his leads and had a terrible attitude overall. We had a lot of problems with him so we removed him from our project early. He was a brand new hire and this was his first project so I believe they gave him another chance although as I understand it that didn't go well either and I think they let him go. This happens from time to time so it's not a big deal or something to get bent out of shape over. Sometimes people have a hard time adjusting to a work environment or might be technically skilled but weak in "soft skills". You just coach them the best you can and if they don't work out you find someone else who will.

However, a while later after he was gone I was going through his code that was running on the client machine (a major consumer retail organization that you absolutely have heard of) and he had embedded a crass sex joke inside his code. This was running on client servers and if they had discovered it, it could have severely damaged our reputation with them. I knew this guy was a train wreck but I was absolutely livid. This did not influence my actions, because to allow it to would be stupid, except that I called his direct manager over this at 10PM at night when I found it instead of waiting for the morning.

I've had rage far too many times to even count as far as video games are concerned. I remember my team making it to the playoffs when I was in high school and we were up by 1 point. Guy on our team thought it was smart to take the inbound pass and run up the court and chuck a shot up, thinking they wouldn't have a chance to foul us and we wouldn't have the chance at missing freethrows and letting them get back in the game (this is what he told us after)....needless to say he chucks it...they get the rebound and run it up the court and the dude heaves it up for a game winner. As far as IRL moments, I don't think I've ever been madder than that right there.

Sibling problems with my brothers when I was younger. Most of which I can't remember. Better that way to be honest.

No reason to hold on to past things that already happened and can't be changed.

GameSpot not having a toggle to stop auto-loading their videos has made me rage a lot.

On a serious note, I haven't "raged" for years. Mostly because I hate getting angry like that. I have little to no control in what I say or do and the whole thing makes me feel ugly when I'm done. Imagine how much more terrible it is for the person on the receiving end of my ire.

A little while back I worked at a large cemetery at I was a general employee who had to do everything from pick up trash to dig and back-fill graves. We got a new headstone in and we had to go and set it up over the right plot. When we got down to the plot we noticed no one was buried there; the ground had clearly never been disturbed. So we got to looking and noticed in the row directly above where the guy was supposed to be was an obvious spot of where someone had been buried a few months ago. And low and behold the head stone had a death date on it that matched how old the spot on the ground was.

In short we had buried the guy in the wrong plot due to a mistake by our new boss. We then had to dig the guy up 3 months after he had been buried and move him down a row to the right spot. Needles to say it smelled wonderful. Like the smell you can't even begin to comprehend such a smell until you carry a wooden casket containing a large man who has been dead and buried for months. You could taste it. It stuck in my clothes and hair for days afterward.

So yeah that's my rage story.

I had a complete rage about a month ago and my friend caught it on Snapchat. They're controlled rages like controlled forest fires! Yeah I feel dumb afterwards and there's a video but no one knows what happened behind the scenes. Swear I wasn't that drunk.

I was told by my adviser that I was graduating after this semester. I made plans and everything. I got an email a couple of weeks later saying that nope, I needed to take 1 more class. That was probably the angriest I've been in a long time. The fuckers couldn't even call me after their mistake, they just sent a damn email.

The only reason i bought this game was because i had heard it was the hardest game ever.

It was very true, my fingers were toast, and i stayed up late many countless days, till my hands physically had muscle issues. I had to stop. Drove me pretty MAD i have to say.

I've yet to have any sort of legitimate rage moment. No tantrums when I was a kid, no breaking of toys, no adolescent acting out during my teenage years.

It's kind of a problem, actually; I'm worried I'm going to snap one of these days. My work is high stress and I deal with a lot of high-maintenance primadonnas that I seriously want to slap the shit out of.

I get pissed off over little things often, little cuss fits. I dont blow up at other people though, and I typically dont get crazy over things much, it impedes solutions.

2 or 3 years ago. My laptop broke and had paid that Office Max extended warranty thingy and I think they said it would be fixed like on 2 weeks or so, so I figured: "meh, probably more like a month, whatever as long as they get it fixed".

So I wait and after the first 2 weeks or whatever and I give them a call, you know, to get things going and see how close they are to fixing it (but not expecting it to be fixed). They say they're still looking into it, whatever, I'm patient like that.

So it pass a month, then a week more, another week and then I start to get exasperated.

So one day I call and tell them that I have been waiting for like 2 months for them to fix my laptop and they haven't done jack and they say something like: "oh we are getting into that right now, we were waiting for this and that". And I say, ok good, it seems like it is finally happening. I think that was a Friday, I call them on Monday and whatever lie they were telling me the guy that answered the phone didn't get the memo because I told him what they told me on Friday and he said he had no idea what I was talking about.

OMG I got so hot, and I mean literally hot, I always touch my neck because my temperature literally rises up; and then I start to feel lightheaded. So I call the warranty guys in Asurion or whatever the hell is the company that does Office Max's warranty and I told them my situation with their subcontractor. Ha, the owner calls the next day all scared, he says he is personally dealing with the situation and that he is sorry. He then calls like half an hour later and says that he took a look at my laptop and said it was unsalvageable; and I remember thinking at that precise moment: WHAT THE ****!? Why are they just now telling me that is unsalvageable? DOES THAT MEAN MY LAPTOP HAS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR 2 MONTHS AND THEY HADN'T EVEN CHECKED!!!!!!!!!!

Motherfuckers.

So the owner makes good by giving me what apparently is one the laptops they use at the shop or whatever, is was pretty much brand new and it had Windows 8.1 (new at the time) and it was a really nice laptop, certainly a step or two above mine, which, to be honest, was basically in need to be Old Yellered. Ha, my brother was like: "man, whatever those guys said to the subcontractor must have scared the shit out of them, you made out pretty good".

And that's the story of how I got lightheaded and got a new laptop. Writing ya' from it! ;)
