I used to break things, not from anger though..

When I was 10, I used to play out a lot. We didn't live in a nice area and we were in a block of flats on an estate full of them.. People would often leave their crap outside.. And as I was rather stupid.. I once took an old broken TV and threw it from a 3 story balcony onto the street.. :lol:

Good times..

That's worrying. Maybe like <6 but 10 years old?!
That's kinda like the opposite. People break things to try and defuse built up anger, you were (I'm assuming) breaking things to accumulate entertainment (does that make sense?).
 
I never threw something before at home out of frustration, so I wondered what it felt like. One day I got frustrated from Rock Band (not enough to make me do something), but I decided to try and throw something. Threw the drum stick, poked a hole in the couch, and felt terrible afterwards. It wasn't even that satisfying either...

Now I only break things at work... for FUN. :lol:

Procrastinating by being on GTP instead of doing my Science homework. :lol:

I got a physics and games studies exam tomorrow, never studied yet and basically stopped paying attention after midterm so I'm sure to bomb these ones. Wish me luck anyway.
 
@F1 fan: ...A tree? ... trees are never a good sign when throwing things ya know. :lol:

Gear grinder? I was watching a show and it's in the last few minutes and BAM! Parental locks come on because the show I'm watching went into the next hour thus going into a show with a high rating equaling a good ol' password lock set by the parents. Great. Luckily it was recorded so I'll try to get them to unlock the last bit so I can see it. This has happened to me one to many times too. :grumpy:

Of course, those days were really boring, finding an old TV was like finding gold :lol:
 
Yes, a tree. It was the only thing hard enough. I used to have a really bad temper.

I'm pretty sure that small amounts of gold can be found within older televisions.
Also I wonder if you could take out the electron gun and do something cool with that...

Shoud've burnt it instead :p

And once again insomnia is grinding my gears. :mad:
 
You know what grinds my gears? I always read disturbing stuff on the internet right before bed. For example, I just read about head transplant, isolated brain, cloning, Russian scientists chopping off dogs/monkeys heads and keeping them alive in an oxygenized salt solution, robotic machines running on a neurogical pseudo brain, and Scarlet Spider from Spiderman. Now I feel horrible and I won't be able to sleep.

Wow... thanks. Thanks very much for that Krog.

Someone walking about in my house is still my main priority when it comes to before-slumber thinking time.

At least you can quite easily control the very thing that is grinding your gears.

Go read information about something more productive instead then... like puppies for example.

19 years ago, when I was 5, I threw a glass irn bru bottle at a dead tree in a fit of rage. A piece of shrapnel, came back and I still have the scar to prove it.

I used to throw stuff too. Cracked a precious game out of ridiculed rage and tried to hide it from my parents. Got busted and punished. Not exactly something that's actually being thrown but...

I used to be a thief in addition. I pilfer lots of things from supermarkets because of my parents not buying them for me. Most of them are toys, anyways.

It's better than the normal occult magic, genocide, murder, demon worship, secret society, conspiracy theory crap I read about. 👍

BTW the list I first posted branched out from cynocephaly, Oh the Irony!
 
Our teacher who bought us the ID number for Matriculation has made a BIG, BIG mistake that almost all of the students missed the deadline to fill up the form. Why? Because she didn't tell us to complete the form and everybody thought that she has done it for all the students. It just couldn't get any worse than this seriously :mad:

Everybody is mad... If I bought it myself I don't think this could've happen. Screwth!

I'm way too relaxed to get destructive, nothing can really make me mad..

I usually come across to people being like that. Because I don't snap at people for making rude comments or throwing things at me. But then I lose a pencil in my own room and I go mental! :lol:

I also hated my old computer soo much before we got rid of it I had to make sure I smashed it as much as I could.

@ rest of conversation. I'm never angry enough to break something, just to stomp around shouting at it. Unless it's a computer. :mad: I can honestly swear computers have little cameras in them which take note of what annoys you so they can constantly do it and anger you for eternity!

...combine?
I used to get really aggressive when I felt frustrated. Now I just get tired like some kind of pessimistic, pacifist loser.
I'm starting to lose that perfectionist attitude that I was famous for among my family and friends which I had all my life until a couple years back. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

I used to have a bit of a bad temper, but I was famous for it for the wrong reasons. :p Now I don't care, but I am still a perfectionist when it comes to things I can be bothered with... Which isn't much. :p

When you do a lot of head banging/moshing the previous day annoys me. Because you then spend the next day with a sore neck, can't look up, down, full left or full right. That's why rock musicians seem so tired on tour, that once every two nights then a few days till you get to the next gig! I think the solution is run around on stage more to make the crowd not realize you're not moshing! :lol:

You had to make me start thinking about things like that a few minutes until I go to bed, didn't you! :p
 
I'm usually calm as a clam myself. People get annoyed trying to argue with me because I never raise my voice.

But!, blowing off steam once in a while is important & good for you. "Bottling" everything up inside will make you lash out at someone sooner or later :)
 
That my morning started bad and I feel like crap and I should've stayed home, because I'm in no condition to work today.

Also, Shem.

Although your tales of drunken woe amuse me, the fact is I don't think it is setting a great example for the younger ones on this forum. Granted, you likely will never meet them and quite rightly don't care/think about that but it does sometimes come across like your almost bragging about it, which in my eyes at least is a little, well, teenage.

I'm not trying to have a personal dig or offend you and I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I had to say something.

Hope were cool still

I totally agree. The last thing I want to do is glorify being drunk.

I have a real drink problem that's seeing me lose days and end up comatose for 24 hours after hitting the bar too hard. I could end up losing my job over it and I'm lucky that Mrs Shem is very supportive and is trying to help me.

My social life revolves around drink and even many of my colleagues are heavy drinkers which makes it hard for me to socialise without being around booze.

It's not that I have the need to drink all the time like a true alcoholic but that I can't not drink when presented with the chance to. It's either divorce myself from friends and family to avoid it or keep doing it but live with the consequences.

It's very immature of to make it seem like my drunken antics are the sort of thing responsible adults do. Fact is, I'm a complete man-child. I'd rather the younger members look at what I do and decide that abusing alcohol isn't a clever thing to do and that they don't want to end up like me.

I don't require sympathy so I hope nobody feels bad for me, this is all of my own doing. I'm quite glad you brought it up Mike, I'll be happy if anyone reads this and chooses to avoid booze.

I swear some teachers shouldn't teach at all.

There are many that know the stuff, but can't teach it in a way that students understand. They try to teach as if we already know it. And then wonder why the class average in under 65%.
 
A few whatever ago I made a post regarding me getting screwed upon our Friday music lesson.. Good thing is, the kid I'm partners with puked his brains out the previous lesson..

Meaning I couldn't do it.

What Grinds My Gears?

I was downloading a 140 MB file and deleted a file off my jump drive while doing so. So what does Google Chrome do? Stops downloading. What the Hell? :grumpy:.

I hate when girls have words on their shirt and you wanna look but you know they'll think your staring at their chest.

Actually the dentist was ok but what was annoying was having to go to Target with my brother. God I wanted to punch him in the face if he said one more stupid thing.
 
Teenage girls who act like total 🤬. One tells people to shut up, but can't shut up herself. Another one called me useless because I dropped a dictionary while having to put every single one away by myself. She said 'I just want to punch people like you in the face. You're so useless and annoying, and thick.' As she said this, she was stood texting someone on her iPhone which was smashed, a sign of her failing to take care of her things. Also, she forgot to mention that I'm in top sets for every class. Real thick then... :rolleyes:

Think yourself lucky. We had to wear uniforms at our School, so that excuse didn't work. :sly:
