Mick The Mig Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 Are you one of those laid-back people who don't get up-set by anything and regard problems with your car and life as a learning experience and chance to do things a different way? Or are you someone who vents their frustration in the form of anger and beats up on inanimate objects? I Remember someone "no names" who smashed a jig-saw with a lump hammer cos' it didn't cut straight. What things have you killed in a fit of temper? Me? I'm so laid-back I'm horizontal.
countrybumpkin Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 hmmm i'll normaly just swear at it if it going wrong but nothing else, my way of looking at it is if it goes wrong it goes wrong theres nothing i can do about it
Takeshi Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 I dunno, I can get pretty firey at times. Though for some reason when it comes to my car, if something goes wrong or needs doing, I just think "It's 29 years old, give it a break." I do explode from time to time though a few things, computers do my head and the tower has dents in it where I've lost my temper with it, and a few other things. I normally lose my rag when arguing with people though, if I get pushed over the edge I can get pretty nasty
escortmad79 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 What things have you killed in a fit of temper? The rear quarters on a scrapper 1600 Ghia with a hammer & the roof with me jumping up & down on it!
over_head_cam Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 99.99% of the time things wash over me but occasionally I flip and something gets FUBAR. The last thing was the door on the washing machine: claw hammer from outside the front door, straight down the hallway without touching the sides Mrs OHC wasn't impressed
Dr Feelgood Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 im very laid back but when i do get annoyed beware, thats when things start flying lol
Copey Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 laid back most of the time and with most things, do eventually get fed up and wond up but most the time have patience
mk1super Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 Im not ashamed to admit this i have anger issues, i have attended anger management coarses with little sucess it only really takes the slightest thing and i lose it. My best wobbler to date was I kicked over the bike as the fairing ( after market crap fitting fibre glass job ) refused to fit When i'd calmed down. I then got the box the fairing had came in, and sat on it, i then put what was left of the broken fairing back in box with a note to the maufacturer saying this is how i recived it, iam most unhappy with the product and serivice can i get a refund And i got it
Durham Fiesta Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 one of the shelves at work today got in my way when i was pissed off, hope no-one notices the big dent

evil knievel Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 i lose my rag over a lot of things. i dont always get angry but i get King stressed out some times!! especially with kids if it is something with the car or some thing im trying to learn i take it as a 'learning experience' but there is a punch bag upstairs that has taken quite a pounding over the years
pauline Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 when it comes to the car take it with a pinch of salt something always going wroung. did use my hammer to take the rails what my ex had in the house when i got a letter from the soilceter saying he wanted the house when the diroce was going through. had them all off in half a hour with a fem dent in the walls
Nettles Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 No comment!.......................................................................ok ok so maybe I once smashed up a jig-saw with a lump hammer because It didn't cut straight!
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 I used to have a very short fuse, but I have mellowed a bit with age. Having said that, I did launch a head gasket and the bonnet of the Anglia across the garden a little while ago when I was having my run of engine problems
Mick The Mig Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Posted November 4, 2008 Hey Jimbob you got me there. I always put you down as the original Mr Cool unpertubed to the extreme!
X-pack-Glyn Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Mostly laid back intill someone hits the wrong button...then il go out my way for years to make thier life hell... ive also been known to hold a grudge for over 15 years before going back to sort the problem.
Mr Sam Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 i can get quite bad, imbedded the old ps2 into the wall the other day cuz the motor burnt out crushed my old computer when it died even though my stepdad said he would save it, didnt want him finding the porn collection booted the spare parts fiestas door in with frustration trying to get the engine out
Stu_B Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 I used to have a temper but I'm pretty chilled out now.... too many bruised & broken knuckles... not to mention the time I headbutted a pintglass
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 im not quiet as bad as i was but im waiting to attend anger managment once i got out of my car (a nissan cherry) and kicked the fook out of it smashed all the lights in kicked every panel in etc then left it over night in the middle of malton and took it to the scrap yard the next day the number of doors and walls ive put my fist through too and i once (this was as a kid ) kicked a brick wall with my trainers on fook me that hurt really i have calmed down a bit but i still gonna go to anger management when i get the appointment through
Mick The Mig Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Posted November 6, 2008 Fists through doors reminds me of a house we bought in Norfolk. Several of the doors were covered with posters, when we took then down every door had been smashed through!!!
hotrodholty Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 im quite calm 90% of the time, nob head drivers are the worst for pissing me off, although i did lose my rag with the sky remote last night, it keeps changing channel on its own and some buttons dont work, needless to say, it now has no buttons left as they all seemed to disapear as it exploded into a million peices bouncing off the wall at 100mph luckilt we have a spare. i used to punch doors and walls, but had to stop myself, i either busted up my hand or put it straight through the door/wall. doors and plasterers ar'nt cheap. i find goin the gym, lifting some heavy weights and knocking fook out of a big punch bag 3 times a week, tires me out to much to be bothered to lose my rag anymore
tash105e Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 i would say im quite a laid back person (sometimes so laid back im lying down lol) it takes alot to piss me off but when something does they/ it will kno about it
D4N Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Few missing keys on the laptop keyboard.. Picked up the laptop and chucked it back on the desk... Chucked plenty of spanners accross the drive... Worst bit with this is, after you chucked it you need it and you feel like a numpty going to get it again My dad slams doors when arguing with my mam. She wants said bet you wouldnt do that with your rally cars! He went into the garage picked up a hammer and smacked it off the bonnet. Thank fook he went to the bmw not the escort!
