What do my fellow escapists do when angry?

[emeraldrafael]

I usually just sit and vent. maybe get up and walk around alot, kinda pacing. Or i'll fire up the old PS2, pop in SWBF2, turn on invincibility and unlimited ammo cheat and go to town on those droids. They cant feel it anyway.

 

[chinangel]

I usually translate angry into sad

 

[Irridium]

Or two, I begin ranting to myself very loudly when no one's around.

I do this. As well as play games.

 

[Klarinette]

Listen to angry music. Somehow, it alleviates the anger.

Or two, I begin ranting to myself very loudly when no one's around.

I also do this.

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

I shout and wave my arms and go to great lengths to explain why I'm angry.

Usually I make a scene, like when my Civics teacher said: "yaddaayaddayadda (he wasn't a good teacher, and I don't remember anything that he taught me) was the first example of written law... well besides the ten commandments of course".

GOD. DAMNIT. This is CANADIA. We don't preach religion in school here. Same guy who defined atheism as: "one who denies the existence of god."

BASTARD.

 

[Wadders]

I usually have one very short childish tantrum violent outburst (usually involving punching wall/ desk/ throwing something) then just kinda think "well its not really worth getting worked up over" and then gradually chill out by just sitting there and doing something that takes my mind off whatever annoyed me. 10 minutes later and I'm fine.

It doesn't take much to annoy me, but I never stay annoyed for long.

 

[Count Igor]

If no ones around to hear it I go on talking to myself (in rant form) until I get completely off topic or play Happy Wheels and experiment in cruel and funny ways to kill them.

Good lord. I thought I was the only one. (The talking part, not Happy Wheels. That's just weird)
Then again, I do talk to myself all the time, so it really doesn't make much difference, except I go into rant mode (Like you).
Unfunny cretins here would make a joke where I respond to an untyped sentence. However, I despise it when people do that, so instead have a picture of a

Spoiler: Duck

 

[Lawnmooer]

If I'm angry I punch walls, listen to music (Death metal usually) or weightlift.


Also in that hypothetical situation I'd beat the crap out of the unicorn while making sure my teddy wouldn't see or hear the violence...

I think I may need to stop giving inanimate objects personalities...

 

[JSDodd]

Yell at the air, go on my punchbag or meditate

That or you know, the obvious: find a small child to threaten.

 

[Tilted_Logic]

Generally if I'm mildly ticked I just end up playing CoD or some other form of shooter. If I'm completely pissed not much seems to calm me down except meditation. Kind of weird I guess.

Best way I've found to expell rage though is to have a heavy debate with someone over any random topic. Not arguing mind you, but actual intellectual open minded debating. Works wonders until people around you immediately turn it in to 'that's what your mom said last night'. Yeah....

 

[Not-here-anymore]

I rip that fucker's horn off and ram it into it's kidney! Nobody fucks with teddy!

But on a much more rational side, I got a little trick from depression where I repress emotion. If it's really bad, I just do that. Completely kills a day, but it keeps me from dwelling on it.

The closest thing I have to an "unwinding" activity is archery or gaming. Something about shooting things that don't really die makes me feel good.

Yeah, I have that depression trick too. It also allows sufficient separation between mind and body that I can't get drunk anymore. Which is probably a good thing.

FPS's are my unwinding tactic - unleashing bullet hell on pixelated people is a great stress reliever. Archery helps too, as I have to relax in order to be capable of shooting properly. Always good to encounter another archer, by the way. Although the fact that we're both depressed gaming archers is a little weird.

 

[Queen Michael]

I swear a lot. In my head.

 

[Sliverwings]

Play some Final Fantasy VII

 

[Spinozaad]

I swear, write a post that could be considered 'trolling' or a blog that could be considered 'really offensive'.

Just rant and rage for a while.

 

[Xojins]

I make angry noises. Also I "smoke the potz, dude" as the OP so ineloquently stated.

 

[HentMas]

i punch a wall

really it seems the most agressive way to unwhind, but better the wall than the poor unicorn

when i was married (now happily divorced) and argued with the ex, i would go so mad at her up to the point of me wanting to punch her in the face because she was being so unreasonable

so i locked my self in the bathroom and punched the wall a few times, she would get really scared but really, i would never ever put a finguer in a girl

when i got out, hand swollen and purple, i would resume my trying to talk to her more calmed

except she would get so scared she would not listen any more

and thats that... now we are divorced and happy, we go out, party with friends, and no problem at all between us.

 

[Ham_authority95]

Usually shut myself away from people, curse a bunch, and claw at my head.

Then I get relaxed. Very relaxed.

 

[Chancie]

I usually write, play games, or just lay on my bed and listen to music. Going for a drive is nice too.

If no one else is in the house, I also like to scream as loud as I can or do the Tidus-Yuna laughing thing because, actually, forcing yourself to laugh like an idiot really does work. xD
