  • Stupid things you've done in anger..

    Aside from some really dumb stuff I did when I was young and dumb, last night I pulled a blinder.

    I discovered that my insurance company (Ibuyeco -BISL call centres in South Africa) had renewed my insurance on continuous renewal/recurring payments thing. Now for some reason this really boils my piss, esp when I phoned them last month to say no thanks. They have now charged me 38 quid cancellation fee, and to top it all I have spent two hours today looking for a better quote, they are 20 odd cheaper than everyone else, and worse I cannot find a single insurance company within 50% of their price who does not do continuous renewal automatically. GRRRRRRRRR
    I know shouldawoudlacoulda, but I didnt ok. Dumb **** that I am. So don’t waste your breath.

    So what stupid things make you angry and have made you do something even stupider..

    Might I suggest that, since price seems important to you and they were the cheapest…

    I nearly threw a printer across the room that had been refusing to print no matter what I did.

    As I lifted it above my head to throw it, a penny coin dropped out of the paper feed. I put it back down, plugged it in, it printed first time….

    Some time around 95 I bought a new bass, an early 70’s gibson eb3. Second gig in southampton I threw it on the floor after someone yelled, “play some punk”. I had drank a lot of cheap dodgy lager. I saw I had broken the wood where the input goes in. Next day we had a gig in leeds, I got it out of the case to look at the input, then I noticed the huge crack in the neck. Got it repaired but must have knocked hundreds of pounds off it’s value. Bought a new bass and now I don’t have to think about it every day.

    Not going to list mine but my fav to have seen was my mum chasing her ex husband down the road with a spade because he’d been on the piss, she couldn,t catch him so she smashed up his car, just stood pissing myself with laughter at the comedy of it all, I was only living with them for a month but I’ll never forget it.

    Something very stupid which ended up in court. It felt great though.

    Not long ago I was pushing my son in his pram (he was 6 months old) and as I was crossing on a zebra crossing and a woman in a brand new Mini almost knocked us down. She came to a screeching halt and as I looked in horror at her through the windscreen, guess what, she was on her mobile!

    Made my blood boil. I screamed at her and she got out of the car to take up the argument. Somehow being on the phone to her daughter to tell her she was going to be late home made it OK in her mind.

    Obviously she wasn’t going to pick a fight with a 100kg gorilla like me, so she got back into her car and as she drove off, guess what, yep still talking on her phone. As the car drove past me I gave it a right good boot in the side pannel.

    Needless to say she stammped on the brakes and got out even more incensed and very aggressive, f’in and blinding. At that point, a guy behind got out of his car and put himself between her and me and my son and said ‘I’m a police officer!’

    Fortunately she was so aggressive she ended up technically assulting him so whether he saw me kick the car or not didn’t really seem to make a difference. He arrested her.

    Beat the utter crap out of an old Cortina because it woudn’t start!

    And I mean really beat the crap out of it!!!

    You remember the old game Street Fighter where in between levels you get to beat up a car – well it was like that but much better. lol.

    Me and a mate were trying to get it going and I just lost the rag with it. I let fly and started beating and ripping everything to shreds! My mate joined in too as he realised I had done so much damage it was never. ever going to go and it looked like fun. My favourite bit was bending the drivers door completely the opposite way, and then deciding that I was going to rip it off with my bare hands lol. I did eventually do it but it took ages!

    Not a straight bit left on it by the time we were done, it looked like it had been dropped from 10,000 feet!

    lol, I still laugh now when I think about it.

    Some good ones here I have to say geetee’s is good despite him not reaping the reward of his mistake, good tale anyway.

    I find it can be cathartic even if it is cutting your nose off to spite your face.

    Put my fist through the clocking in machine in a rage. Que of workers behind me loved it as they got to finish work early and through my mobile straight through the plaster board wall in the office. Oops not mention knocking my best mates (at the time) front teeth out in a jealous rage. Punched a passing car once just because it was in my way and going to slowly not to mention numerous court appearances for rolling around in pubs. Ah the good old days. No no that’s bad and I will never do it again your honour.

    My best ones have landed me variously in hospital.. incarcerated.. homeless..
    devoid of…. absolutely anything other than my human form..

    Lesser ones have resulted in waking up 100’s of miles from home with nothing in my pockets and no way back.. tattooed.. (yeeeah.. that’ll teach ’em!..)

    haha! Just remembered another vehicle realted one.

    Same mate had one of these

    We were about 15 at the time, it had broken down on him so were in his back garden trying to fix it. He was playing around with the carb and broke the needle. Then came the RAGE!!!

    lol we kicked the crap out of it and then decided it woudl be alaugh to cut it in half so we got out the hack saws and cut it right in half between the seat and tank and all the way down!
    Then we kicked the crap out of it some more!

    In the end we chucked in his dads trailer and pushed it down to the village skips. My mate remembered the tank had fuel in it so he laid it on the ground took off the petrol cap and chucked a lit match in it!

    Man! It was like a giant firework!

    Nutters!

    lol @ molgrips. We were young and very silly.

    I wouldn’t dream of damaging any of our vehicles like that now. We learned how to fix and maintain things properly.

    I punched a picture of ‘winnie the pooh’ which was mounted on the stair bulkhead(solid wood) broke, two knuckles and lacerated my hand.

    It was winnie or the ex, **** me did she know how to press the rage button.

    Many phones were drop kicked during that marriage.

    I got slagged off a few months ago for having smashed a little IKEA table to bits when I was angry, and now I read all this!

    Makes me so annoyed, I’m glad we replaced that table – see you all in about 10mins

    [resurrects old thread]
    Everytime I go in my garage a hole in the brick wall reminds me of an angry moment… bike related.
    Fitted a nice new Dura Ace (threaded) headset to my roadbike, go to pull the cheap bastard spanner off and it starts mangling the corners of the headset nut.
    The only flash bit on my bike getting mangled!
    Chuck the spanner on the floor! It lands propped against the wall! Grab a big mallet! Whack the spanner into oblivion!
    Er, which knocks a nice big hole in the wall. Doh. 😳

    two flat mates in uni had an argument about a cheap ikea table and wether you should be allowed to write on it if you paid for 1/5th of it. argument escalated into a rant about “you might as well just break it and buy a new one” the writer claimed he could not break it as it was solid wood… back and forth it went, but ended up with one of them yelling “****ing cardboard! Look!” whilst throwing bits of table around while the other screamed tat it was solid wood and was hitting the fireplace with a table leg.

    Idiots.

    Broke my hand quite badly while reshaping someone’s nose in Glasgow once. He richly deserved it but my hand’s still screwed.

    Ah, this thread’s made me laugh! 😆 Glad it’s not just me then!

    Normally computers. Ripped a laptop in half once. That’s £1500 I’m never getting back

    Ha ha! Brilliant! threw an early Apple laptop at a wall once. Then smashed it to pieces.

    Computer mice and home ‘phones don’t last long in my house. Smashed a smart ‘phone up last year sometime. Can’t remember why.

    Punching things: punched through the driver’s side window of a car that had almost knocked me off one. Glass everywhere, shocked occupants who sped off in terror. Not a scratch on me, bizarrely. Din’t feel a thing.

    It can be cathartic to release rage even if stuff does get damaged. A ‘phone or a window is replaceable.

    I’ve gone too far too often. Put other people in hospital. I’m not a big bloke either. Just really vicious. Ended up in police custody too many times. It’s far too destructive.

    I’m getting treatment for my ‘issues’ now. I calm down a lot more quickly, and don’t get so wound up, as I’ve learned to recognise triggers and when to tell myself to snap out of it. Not easy though. One problem I have is I won’t back down if in a very threatening situation, and the psychopath in me takes over. I enjoy hurting people then. Scary.

    By the sounds of things, one or two on here might want to think about talking to someone about their rage. Because one day you could go too far, and the consequences could be very, very serious indeed.

    I find growing up helps. I used to have a couple of episodes a week, there were so many punch holes in the walls and doors of our first house!
    Now I just shout at cars when I’m on my road bike for a release!

    It’s good to find an effective outlet for your anger, which is as non-destructive as possible. Sports aren’t always the answer actually, as they don’t do a lot to resolve inner conflicts and turmoils.

    Some folk can simmer for ages before they pop, some, like me, can snap without warning. Obviously the trick is to find the root cause of the anger, then learning to manage it, but it’s a lot easier said than done, trust me.

    Punched a hole in stairwell pannelling.
    Punched a big crack in a door once.
    Threw a hammer across the garden which bounced and went straight through the greenhouse.
    Kicked in a window in filthy rage.
    Kicked in the front wing of my car in my slippers.
    Broken several peoples wingmirrors off whilst riding along and morons force their way through using either fists or feet.
    Threw my first mobile (motorola = sh*t) 30ft in the air after i lost signal during an important call, it clattered down through the trees in the back garden and worked fine (with the aerial at a nice jaunty angle)
    Punched 7 bells of sh*t out of my steering wheel whilst doing 75mph after my sunroof ejected up and back smashing into 1000 pieces in the outside lane.

    On the bike i punted my rear mech after it ceased working for the third time in the hour so hard it ended up in the wheel, then considered the fact i had two days left of riding on the trip and regretted it.

    Off the bike i punched a white van once after the occupant called me a rude name as he was driving past, surprisingly my hand came off better than the van.

    took one apart with an axe after throwing it down the stairs once. was really enjoying myself and screaming things like “not so clever now are you” when i looked up to see my lodger’s parents, who had come to see his new home, looking very shocked from the kitchen table !
    i kept the bits though and use them to threaten my new printer.

    I love the vision of dropkicking a phone. It’s something I have never done, but it’s now on the to do list. stupidest thing i’ve ever done – me and a few mates greased up a play park when we were around 8 – wanted the slide to be faster.
