what do you do when you get pissed off?

me, i listen to heavy music as loud as i dare. right now the selection is Pitchshfter, but the best is the band Exodus and their album Another Lesson In Violence. when some dickheads at the computer store formatted my hard drive without telling me a few years ago, that album went straight in the CD player the only time my hi-fi has been turned up to maximum volume for longer than a few seconds :)
playing drums is also good, but i have no kit here :(
its odd making or listening to heavy, loud noises relaxes me, but it works so i don't argue
anyways, what do you do to "chillax" when you're pissed off?
I like to sit somewhere dark, cold, and silent and just think about what has happened instead of acting on my impulses. When people piss me off online they feel the full extent of my wrath (of khan).

Call people who I'm pissed at "motherfuckers", listen to Husker Du at full volume (or any music that fits my mood, which would be really pissed off), and generall get even more pissed off, until my blood pressure gets too high.

It depends on who has made me angry. When it comes to close friends or family, I don't deal well with that. I fly off the handle, say things I don't mean, get shaky and cry in rage (that's right, crying in anger!) and then I need to go get drunk. If it's a stranger...well, again, it depends, but usually I can keep my cool. The way I deal with my anger...I get away from people, play my guitar, go weed the garden, do anything active so I don't dwell on it.

This thread could be useful - when I get fuming at something, I generall do something impulsive and painful. Last time, I damn near broke my knuckles punching a wall in fury. However, the bouts of rage that lead to these excessive acts are few and far between. Otherwise, I'll slam a door or two then turn up my sound system to full with the windows open listening to something like slayer or anthrax - something loud I can shout along to while I headbang and give the outside wrld a big "Fuck you" with 350 watts.

Depends. I tend to remove myself from the situation (When possible) that's bothering me, and then write, and/or listen to some loud music, and switch it to quieter, softer music as I calm down. However, if I'm ranting to someone about why I'm pissed, I'll swear quite profusely.
If I'm really, really pissed, I'll just get this..calm..feeling, and that's when the other person (if it's a person) damned well better shut up and leave me alone to cool off. When I'm like that, I'll refuse to speak to anyone but my girlfriend.

SAME HERE!
but if someone was to piss me off enough to get in my head and stay there, i take sleeping pills to knock me out (works very well for me :D) id rather be sleeping it off than being pissed and then depressed for the rest of the day.. i also like to light fires (not kidding) but small ones.. unless i have gas and a bunch of logs.. o=)
music is absolutly great too.. but it has to be alllll bass to the point where the posters on my walls shake

Both my daughters, when they get mad, tense up and shake with their rage. I remember doing the same damn thing when I was a kid. The first daughter used to hit herself in the head when she got angry. The second bites her hand (like you:)). It's weird though...even though they are doing these things to themselves, the actions are undeniably directed at the person they're angry with! It's like they're little beserkers, just working themselves up into a killing rage!
I have a terrible temper. It flares up with no warning sometimes. I'm the spitting image of my father in this regard. I forgive and forget almost immediately, but my temper has caused me no end of sorrow. It's especially hard for me now that I have kids. I remember walking on eggshells around my dad...I don't want them feeling the same way about me. I feel like a lousy piece of shit when I go overboard and yell at my kids. You can't undo that sort of thing with apologies. I always thought it was cheesy to count to 10, but I've found, if I'm still angry in 10 seconds, I'm at least calm enough to deal with the issue more rationally.

When I was younger and got angry, things usually got broken. My girlfriend locked herself in my car once when I just wanted to leave. Iwas outside the car. In the spand of 5 minutes, the exterior was similar to that of a golfball with hundreds of fist dents.
A broken hand after foolishly punching a 2x10 pressure treated beam. Let that one heal by itself, rather than admit what happened.
Balcony furniture and buckets of dark meat KFC into the hotel swimming pool upon finding out order was completely wrong.
used to get so mad I'd spit.
Now,I hardly get mad anymore. i have a lot more patience.
And when I do get too mad, going down to hit the bag for a little while usually works fine.

I don't get pissed off.
There's a reason. I used to have a wicked temper. I learned to control and redirect it. Which is wonderful. But it also means that on the exceedingly rare occasion when I do manage to lose my temper, I enter a cold wrathful rage and people usually end up fleeing for their lives.
Fortunately, it doesn't last long and I can go back to handing out tacos to the survivors. :)

Some people are hard wired differently. Some people have more control over their impulses, and so don't react as stronger to provaction. I am not among this group.

I very rarely get mad. Its usually easier to just let things go fast...
however, if you are unlucky enough to catch me at the wrong moment, run. Wether it is a physical or verbal fight, I can fight very dirty and will dig for what I know will hurt the other person (I have an odd sense of what bothers/hurts other people, and know the right time to break it out). I also usually don't apologise (if there is one thing my sister taught me, it is how to hold a grudge)
I also swear a bit or punch my bed. I learned that punching 250 year old plaster isnt a good idea. It is pretty hard, and difficult to repair. I also have bad luck and hit the posts most of the time.

I have a pretty bad temper but I tend to seethe in silent fury for a while. Then I try to play a violent video game. Diablo was always good for that. These days I start Age of Mythology and use the cheat codes and smite everyone on the board with god powers. Then I'm back to my usual self. :D

My best stress / anger relief comes from killing other people's chars they have spent in some cases weeks in others years making. (MMORPGs)
Actually often for best performance when doing that I do add in music to help build the tempo. Eminem, Rob Zombie, KORN, Rage against the Machine, etc.
Anything with hard tempo, hard lyrics, or heavey bass really.

For normal "pissed off" I plot, I scheme, and I'll hold a grudge for as long as I remember a favour.
It's very hard for people to make me actually lose my temper, though. I tend to view humans as nothing but a nuisance at the best of times, and if I did lose it I'm quite large enough to make a mess.
Fortunately I'm usually very calm.

I have a nasty temper.
Fortunately, I also have a long fuse.
I rarely, if ever, get pissed off.
I do get annoyed frequently, like most people.
When I get annoyed, I remove myself as quickly as possible, from the source of annoyance, until Im calmer.
However, when I get well and truly pissed off, I mean...really, really, pissed off......something usually gets broken.
Inanimate objects....people...myself....whatever is handy.
See, I have a long fuse, as I said, and hate fighting.
So..in most confrontational situations, I will walk away, If I can.
But if I cant, or the antagonist is persistant, that makes me angry, becuase my attempts to cool the situation have failed, and my threshold has been reached....and now the target deserves it.

First let out what is pissing me off at the time, not bottle it up until it poisons my whole psyche like a stinking cancer later on.
Then take a deep breath and get totally away from whats pissing me off, so as not to get even more pissed off and say or worse do something I'll regret later.
Then when I'm in acooler state of mind, not controlled by rage, I go back to the problem and try to fix it.
i usually listen to inerpol or radiohead to relax. when a family member gets me angry i use a very powerful tactic i learned from my mother, guilt. works well on my family. i may, very occasionally, lose my cool but usually it's somewhat justifiable.......
