What do you do when you're angry?
Hillbilly Housewife wrote: I cook, bake and I clean and I dance.
For dinner, we had stuffed Butternut squash and Porc chops with green beans.
My kitchen is also spotless, I danced while cleaning it 
Anyone have wierd habits they do when they're angry?
TANNER'S MOM replied: I drink...lol
I listen to music I wouldn't normally listen too Meaning Rap and stuff.
I talk to a friend to vent.
I eat Twizzlers..lol
mom2my2cuties replied: I have a tendancy to get in the shower for at least an hour with the heat ALL the way on. And then crank up the music and do funky dances all across my bedroom while still naked and soaking wet.
I also cook HUGE meals for my family
I will read an entire JD Robb book in a couple hours
Lets see - I study something
And my strangest habit - I put on a pair of high heels (no matter what I am wearing) and just tap my foot....Seems to really just give me an outlet.
redchief replied: I get quiet while I'm stewing. I usually try to deal with things pretty quickly since I don't sleep well when I don't have anything on my mind.
cameragirl21 replied: eat like a pig and scream my frustration out to anyone willing or not so willing to listen....  
coasterqueen replied:
 That's me too.  
I also LOVE to get on the treadmill and listen to my IPod when I'm peeved off or confused, stressed, anything of the sort.
Going down to the basement and turning on the music really loud and dancing around.
Getting in the car, turning the music up as loud as I can and driving around the country out in the middle of nowhere.
MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I usually clean. I used to brush my hair. But when I am seriously ticked off, I throw light bulbs at the cement wall in my basement. They make a fantastic crashing sound and a great pop too.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
That's really interesting!! What do you do with all the shards?
MyBrownEyedBoy replied: They kind of turn into powder, I just get the broom out and sweep up. It really helps. Most of the time, I pretend they are Aaron's head.
MyLuvBugs replied: depends on the extent of the anger 
I've been known to bake....not cook but bake. So if Dh comes home to 4 dozen muffins and a cake....he know's it's not been the best day. LOL 
I'm also a door slammer. Love to slam a door when I'm PO'd. Been known to break a couple doors too. Oops!
I clean sometimes if I'm just annoyed to the point of anger. And I mutter to myself while I clean. Apparently it's a sight and DH likes it when I'm "acting crazy" (his words not mine  )
A long hot shower is also a fun one that helps me to calm down a bit.
But the one I do the most.....yelling at anything and everything.....  then I get so riled up that I just start sobbing/bawling from all my anger.
Bee_Kay replied: I call my friends and whine, #@$@ and moan until I feel better
We return the favor back and forth !!
My3LilMonkeys replied:
You mean that's not how you're supposed to read them?? 
I yell - a lot - and throw things. But only if no one else is around - I like to be left alone when I'm angry.
Nina J replied: I throw things I just get so angry I pick something up and chuck it, usually it's a book or something. Sometimes I kick things, like the wall. Once I was really angry and I was on the porch. It has the top rail, about waist high, and then theres two pieces of wood that make an x underneath it, if you KWIM. I kicked the wood so the pieces that make the x broke.
But, if the kids are around I try to hold it in. Then as soon as they're not around, I go nuts.
luvmykids replied: Crank the music, clean, go for a drive, or if I'm really ticked, online shopping
sparkys2boys replied: my family knows that if I am super angry to look out that I will start cleaning out things.. cuoboards, closets, etc and if it's messy it's gotta go. I have also been known to hop in the car and go for a long pointless drive
gr33n3y3z replied: I say what I'm going to say
then clean
TANNER'S MOM replied: Dang it I am the only drunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
moped replied:
Nope you are not the only one!!!
But I also clean VERY LOUDLY, so everyone knows I am mad!
redplaydoh replied:
This is me... maybe we should exchange phone numbers!
CantWait replied: Take a bath
Clean things I don't normally clean on a regular basis, ie...the cupboards etc..
Cook or bake
Go on the computer and vent on PC
Go for a drive
Lock myself in a room
Sleep
MyLuvBugs replied:
No not the only one, but I can't drink right now b/c of the BFing. LOL!! Otherwise......I'd be laid out flat every night. HA!
moped replied:
Rocky, what are you angry about?
Anything to do with me by chance?
lisar replied: I clean my house. You should see it sometimes. My DH knows when I am mad at him I will be cleaning.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
What?! no, of course not! why would I be angry at you?! 
ETA - I was angry (and still am...) about my other post, about asking for opinions...it's family related, not pc related
moped replied:
Ok.......cause I know I have been a bit snappy lately.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Our Lil' Family replied: I clean loudly too....and if it's right when I get mad I throw a dish towel! Sounds silly but especially if Thomas makes me mad, you can throw with all your might and it won't hurt anything or anyone!
MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
One time my brother ticked off my mom when she was folding laundry and she spanked him with a pair of folded socks. We still give her a hard time over that one. "No, Mom, please don't beat us with socks." LOL.
Cece00 replied: Yell
Take a drive
Take a shower
Or yell some more
kimberley replied:
thanks i needed that laugh! too funny! socks
add me to the drunk wagon LOL. i drink so i don't ERUPT. it takes the crazed rage edge off.
i tell whoever it is exactly what i think.
i listen to loud metal or rap.
i clean loudly and complain to myself.
i yell at everything and then cry.
i start packing up anything related to that person.
i write an email to myself to get it all out.
i play spider solitaire.
the above usually only pertains to adults. with the kids, i'll yell or start spring cleaning toys for charity
My2Beauties replied: It depends on how angry I am.
If I'm just angry at Hanna or frustrated with her, I'll yell at her or just stop paying attention to her, sometimes when I ignore her bad behavior she stops, most of the time though she continues to do it because she thinks it's ok then
If I'm like upset angry, I'll cry and cry and cry until I can't cry anymore!
If I'm outrageously angry like someone has really just pushed my buttons, I'll scream and throw stuff But...I try to not let it get that far, I've only threw something at Brian twice My cellphone once and a sippy cup the other time!
