On a scale of 1-10 where would you say yours is? I'd say mine is about a 3. It typically takes quite a lot to really bother me.

 

[lethial]

Why the FUCK is this your business?

 

[feynoob]

Mine depends on how much you piss me off.
I am the type that simply ignores you and not talk to you at all, if you hit that level.

 

[StueyDuck]

Like a 0.... takes alot to work me up.

But when you do, you start running because I get blackout angry

 

[JimmyRustler]

Depends on the circumstance and the person. People I don't know usually can't get me upset but people I do know and care about can get me upset very fast.

 

[Blade2.0]

Why the FUCK is this your business?

damn, took my joke. i was just gonna say "Fuck you" though.

 

[Lone Wolf]

When I stay calm, everyone else does. De-Escalation is a good tool As well. Use it daily.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Takes a lot to piss me off, but once I'm pissed off it takes a lot to cool me down.

 

[OverHeat]

0-10 in half a second

 

[//DEVIL//]

The thing is, I am really allergic to stupidity. I can't handle it. So it's easy for me to get frustrated. And usually with that goes my temper sky rocketing. .

 

[AJUMP23]

4. My wife would probably say 7.

 

[Crayon]

I'm exceedingly gentle until I blow up. Better since I got on some mood stabilizing med years ago, but some of it is still in me. I've had a few run-ins with HR but both were from me running off some real trash who didn't come back so I got off the hook. My dad had a super bad raging temper until he finally slowed down approaching 70. I was never like that.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Id say 99% of the time it's a 1. Maybe a 5-6 for those times caught in traffic, a guy cut me off or weird random shit. Sometime in high school I just mellowed out. When I was younger than that, I'd get into fist fights all the time at school (won most fights!) and fight my siblings when pissed (lost most fights!).

 

[West Texas CEO]

2.8

 

[haxan7]

I have a high threshold but when that gets broken, look out.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

On the outside, I'm chill. Suspiciously, medically-significantly chill. I do my best not to say or do anything that isn't a positive influence.

On the inside, I'm a burning pyre of rage that knows no bounds.

 

[Days like these...]

The thing is, I am really allergic to stupidity. I can't handle it. So it's easy for me to get frustrated. And usually with that goes my temper sky rocket

Everyone is responsible for their own behavior, typical for an angry person to blame others for their bad behavior. I'm probably a 2

 

[Soltype]

When driving?, About a 3 or 4, everywhere else is a 1 or 2.

 

[Edmund]

Really really good. It's really hard to make me angry. I'm a piano teacher and I've experienced all kinds of students. I just roll my eyes and take a deep breath and carry on with the lesson when they do something stupid.

 

[12Goblins]

I run a lot so that it stays at 0 even when shit hits the fan.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Probably a 1. Exceedingly chill to a fault at times. Sometimes my kids can get me going but not like... angry, just frustrated / annoyed. I've never been in a fist fight (and have probably saved my friends a couple face punches by de-escalating some situations). My wife and I rarely even argue anymore, let alone ever get in a fight.

 

[The Stig]

2 It's very hard to make me properly angry or really offend me.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I can explode very easily, not just with stuff like dying in videogames, but with dumb everyday stuff as well.

 

[Bojji]

I'm usually quite calm but can get to 6-7 in some instances. I was at 10 maybe 2 or 3 times in my entire life.

 

[Spyxos]

I was quite relaxed. After the lockdowns, everything kind of bugs me and way too fast.

 

[cormack12]

Like a 0.... takes alot to work me up.

But when you do, you start running because I get blackout angry

I'm this as well. Which is apparently the worse way to be? Can brush a lot of stuff of and just sigh past it.

But if I do go into the red zone, I ain't coming down for a while.

 

[AlteredForms]

Seriously, I'm a 2 at pretty much all the time and can analyse and deescalate situations due to my proficiency of spouting bullshit. When things get physical I can handle myself, but I don't have the delusion of being the toughest mofo in the room, those people that do get humbled real quick or are in a room full of grannies.

I can explode very easily, not just with stuff like dying in videogames, but with dumb everyday stuff as well.

 

[EverydayBeast]

 

[Sleepwalker]

2-3 unless im playing FIFA, in that case its 99

I agree. but I have always been hot-blooded lol.

Nothing really bad came out of it. like, I never really cussed my manager for example or a family member or got into physical fights. in fact, I remember the only time I got into a fight was in grade 2 when some kid took a bite from my cheese sandwich lol.

oh it's absolutely worse, because all rationality and logic goes out the window and actions can't be redeemed, luckily however I've never really been pushed to that point except for a couple of times. And knowing I'm that way now I am able to control and calm myself fairly easily now.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

I know it’s way too soon, but I’d allow the ghost of the Iron Sheik possess me if I ever get in a really bad mood.

FAWKIN BULLSHIT!

 

[Facism]

Crap drivers in SUVs and other assorted land tractors have been getting my temper up recently. Can't leave the house and arrive at any destination without some twat in a land rover nearly killing me because they not only need their lane of traffic, but half of mine too. Or they're on the phone and paying no attention. Or they don't dare take their offroad vehicle onto a grass verge to pass on a single-lane country road. Or they're tailgating and then do a dangerous overtake that nearly wipes out 5 other vehicles. Etc etc. Some of these fuckers drive like they sucked their driving examiner's dick.

Getting mad af just thinking about these penchods

 

[Dark Star]

I’m pretty laid back nowadays. I train new hires on software at my company and you bet I’m very patient and understanding, even if they ask the same question like 10 times. I’m not a zen monk or anything, I do have my occasional burst of anger. But it takes a strong pattern of stupidity and antagonism from another person to actually piss me off.

When I was a kid I had such a short temper it was scary, I got into a lot of fights in elementary school. I honestly think using THC really mellowed me out in my college years,like a psychedelic experience, made me reflect on my actions and behavior, realized that there’s nothing to get all worked up over. Nothing worth using my energy in an angry fashion. Basically stopped giving a fuk lol

0. I work around 12 years olds most days of the year for work, so I don’t have the luxury of ever being able to blow my top. When I come home and my wife is worked up, which isn’t often, the last thing she wants is someone who loses it. I have found that yelling or losing my temper only causes others to react negatively to the situation.

 

[Rival]

On a scale from 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed off are you right now?

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Almost everything annoys me in some way.
It's exhausting.

 

[Billbofet]

I take quite a bit to get to my threshold. I will even give my family warnings and try to remove myself from a situation where I will lose my shit.
They always tend to not listen and follow me around until the seal is broken. This is very rare.

My wife is 0-10 faster than a rocket. That said, she calms down really fast. If I get wound up, my day is pretty much shot.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Middle school was like being on Prison Break (it was a Catholic school and there were no girls) it was frustrating, but one time I got picked on and I brought a rocket and threw it into a bully's face.

Another time a boy with a fractured foot was bothering me and I kicked his fracture and from then on they didn't bother me.

I am calm, but they made me angry, so much so that once I brought a brick and I was going to hit those who bothered me on the head.


High school was the best time, the boys and girls were calm... and I really enjoyed that stage

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Doesn't take much to get irritated but real anger does. And i fear it can be murder level depending on the context. Scary thought

 

[lem0n]

Depends on if I'm driving or not. Anytime I'm not driving I'm pretty chill. If I'm driving and you cut me off or don't signal I will run you off the road and crush your skull with my 35" tires on my lifted Landcruiser

 

[John Marston]

Really really good. It's really hard to make me angry. I'm a piano teacher and I've experienced all kinds of students. I just roll my eyes and take a deep breath and carry on with the lesson when they do something stupid.

And that's why I Gafted Edmund

 

[Lasha]

Where does righteous fury sit on the 1-10 scale?

 

[Rockondevil]

1 at work.
7-8 at home with my small child who refuses to listen.

 

[John Marston]

Without going into details all I can say is that I used to lose my shit if I dropped a fork on the kitchen floor but then you almost die and life gives you a whole new perspective when dropped forks just don't matter anymore

 

[Pegasus Actual]

I rage in real life as if I were playing COD

 

[Celcius]

I'm probably a 2-3. I have a lot of patience.

 

[Krathoon]

I find it amusing that I do have a nerd limit. IGN will get on my nerves after a while.

I also have a wokeness limit. I just reached it with the Penny Arcade forum.

 

[Edmund]

Thanks Zelphyr!!
