What do you do when you rage?

[Kurokami]

I'm sure this has been done before,but what do you do when you (if you do)rage? I shove a pillow into my face and scream or tell the PC to eat my balls,but whatever you do when you rage,post it,and we'll all share some great drinking stories

I stop whatever's provoking the rage, such as talking to my older brother, and trivialize my reasons for being angry. As a consequence however I do occasionally have small flashes of anger when appropriate.

Light rage: suppress it.
Normal rage: suppress it.
Crispy rage: hit a wall, curse and mutter under breath, suppress it.
Extra-Crispy rage: black out and apparently attack everyone in the general vicinity. So I'm told.

Yeah. I told you that. You removed my kneecaps. Quite violently,I might add.

 

[Skooterz]

I work out, typically. It's why I've bulked up a bit the last year or so... despite not wanting to... I should cut down on the duration of my rage-outs.

 

[VinnyKings]

break shit

Yeah Just pretty much go GoW and smash shit if its really that bad though I've never really been that mad that I had to smash shit around except when my T.V died and I smashed it cuz it was broken and I was having a shitty day.

 

[TheOnceandFutureKing]

I rage till I collapse

 

[Darquenaut]

Back in my old job I did something like slamming my head into a wall... except in reverse. I'd just wheel my chair back against the wall and slam the back of my skull into the wall. Could taste colors afterwards, but hey, at least I felt chipper... *coughs*

Nowadays I just wait until it's good and dark, when everyone else is at home. I hop into my car and take some classic rock/metal with me, crank up the volume, turn up the bass, and just drive in darkness for a half hour or so.

When I was younger I'd break stuff. Sometimes stomp on the controller. You'd be surprised how durable a N64 controller was

Now I just kinda stop playing.

 

[CommyGingerbreadMan]

Person in game: Mute

Game itself: Go Play MW2 and Kill bitches

Person IRL: Ignore/ mean look him, he cannot escape.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

I swear. A lot.

 

[reg42]

I hit my desk/keyboard/mouse.

Or at least I used to, I've calmed down a little bit.

Now I just swear at the PC/TV

 

[IceWarm]

I used to punch holes in things. I destroyed the door to my room when I was 16. Now I just drink and play violent video games. Better for me to blow off steam in Modern Warfare 2 than beat somebody else physically.

 

[Puzzles]

Break something I'll regret breaking.

Smoke a cigarette.

 

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

Rage-quit.

 

[ffs-dontcare]

I used to smash my keyboard in a fit of brief rage. It is still in one piece and continues to serve my needs as it always did.

Now I just swear. Out loud.

Things like "oh bloody hell!", "for fuck's sake!", and things of that nature.

 

[Tonimata]

Rage is such a base emotion, and if I couldn't control it, I wouldn't be the cold, calculating bastard that I take pride in being. Instead of raging, I plot against whatever's made me rage to ensure it's prompt and painful destruction. It makes me feel sooo much better.

Light rage: suppress it.
Normal rage: suppress it.
Crispy rage: hit a wall, curse and mutter under breath, suppress it.

Wow, this is the kind of thing one should remember n'est pas? How are you doing? Recovering well?

 

[Muffinthraka]

I try to squeeze the mouse to death, if I'm playing a console game I may throw the controller (I actually once broke my GBA by smashing it over my knee).

 

[Nomanslander]

Listen to angry music and fume. Otherwise...

Oh great, now I want to watch that episode again...0o
