How short...

There a quote in a film that goes something like this -

There are two types of people in the world. There is the customer who goes into a shop everyday and abuses the assistant because they have had a crap morning. Then there is the assistant who puts up with the abuse for a number of months.
Eventually the assistant looses it and shoots the customer.

Im the second one.

Very long fuse and takes a lot to **** me off, but when i blow, that it. I remember doing this at home once when my mum kept pestering me. I ended up punching holes in my wardrobe door whilst looking quite annoyed to say the least!

Anyone know what film it was, i think it was some like Conair

edit -same, common sense goes right out the window

Anger Management
 
Very long, i seldom completely lose my temper. I'm a very easy going guy lol. I dont let things bother me as much as they probably should.
 
very short - I lose it quickly, but I recover equally quickly. I don't tend to lose it with people, but I don't suffer fools gladly and I tend to become snappy when someone pesters me or asks the same question more than once!

I also have a reputation for being very stubborn and cynical.

I'm really a nice guy though!
 
ive probably got one of the longest fuses there is, ive only ever snapped once..
i was bullyed for years at school, all through yr 7 to 10. Never ever responded or fought back or anything, just sucked it up and kept on going.. Then one day about half way through year 10, some kid throw something at my head in the corridor, coupled with an insult.

i put 2 kids and a teacher in hospital.

:(

Suffice it to say the bullying stopped (once i was allowed back ><)
 
About 4 miles long. I even try calming them down as they throw punches. But as soon as one connects, that's it I'm off and they ain't going to be feeling good the next day.

That's exactly like how I am now.

I used to have a very short fuse, but now I'm ridiculously calm all of the time, well, except when I'm gaming and I loose/die lol, the controller/mouse will end up embedded in the wall :p.
 
Like quite a few others, I have a long fuse and am quite laid back but if pushed too far, I will lose it big time and people tend to be quite shocked that such a mild mannered man can blow up like that.

My kids always knew that if Dad was shouting, it was time to stop doing whatever it was that made him shout, PDQ, and disappear for a bit until he'd calmed down.

Once I've got it out of my system, I'm perfectly fine and rarely hold a grudge.
 
I'm able to control my temper very well, is hard for people to make me angry, in my job (work for the Jobcentre) you can't.

Can only remember 2 times in the last year that I got angry and I don't take it out on other people. Then again if someone insults me it doesn't bother me but if someone say insulted one of my female co-workers without coming off as macho I don't know how well I would control myself then.
 
When I lived with my folks I used to loose it with them all the time. There was a certain amount of frustration involved, since I was young and stuck in their house.

I've calmed down a lot since then, not really at war with the world anymore. When I do get angry, I'm the type that does it with out raising his voice.

My girfriend is the opposite. She's like a shaken coke can! Ready to blow at any second!!
 
I think I'm pretty laid back but I also have a tendancy to let things bottle up which is no good for me. Very rarely properly blow up though so it can't be too bad. :)
 
I can get stressed out quite easily and people have seen me annoyed but I don't think any of my friends have actually seen me lose my temper completely. Most of the time I'm a quiet seether
 
I used to have a short fuse, but since I've been at uni and with my current girlfriend I've calmed down a lot. I used to have loads of arguments at home etc. and my fuse was short, my friends back home never saw me lose it properly (family did), but they've seen it quite bad.
Here however I am pretty much just constantly relaxed/chilled out, so when someone irritates me a lot and I make a snappy comment etc. they assume I've annoyed and have snapped.
In fact I'm generally still chilled out, just want them to stop being annoying, and scaring people is the easiest way :p

I haven't been a violent person in years, which is good, else living in this house could prove problematic.

I like to have a 'scary/angry face', as it means I can stop people testing my fuse by making it seem like it's much shorter than it is. :)

My problem is I feel to ashamed to do anything about getting annoyed. So I bottle it up and look like a gimp. I can get quite annoyed at habits tho, especially of family members.

Weird I know. But it makes my blood boil :D

Gawd I hate people that chew with their mouth open, it really irritates me, one of the few things that bypasses my normally long fuse.
Also some people that talk with their mouth open annoy me. ;) :p

The only time I really lose my patients is when driving, other than that I'm the most relaxed and laid back person in the world. I even got a warning at work for it, not as though that's a trophy or anything though...

until last Saturday whrn I saw workmen using a pnewmatic drill 18inches from my car


when I asked why they hadn't asked me to move the car the bloke said " as it was only 8am and your curtains were shut we didn't want to wake you up"

"you were using a pneumatic drill outside my bedroom window you **** why would I be asleep"

even then I caled down after a couple of mins

I had exactly the same thing recently. Couple of blokes sawing wood right next to my car, it was covered in sawdust :eek: Had a proper rant at them, I was shaking as I drove away.

I do sometimes snap, Myself and the (now) ex argued a hell of a lot, I broke a lot of things, but never lashed out at her. I scare myself with how angry I can get.

edit: I also get incredibly worked up while i'm driving, I regularly shout at other people driving like tools.

Pretty long except with non-informative thread titles. ;)

More seriously though I am a pretty calm person, even to the extent of probably seeming uninvolved at times. I can't remember the last time I lost my temper properly, usually I'll just point out how stupid whatever it is, is and stop or walk away. Of course, when/if I do lose it then I'll probably go supernova which ought to be entertaining if nothing else. :)
