What's the maddest you've ever been?

They were just talking about anger on the radio, and I thought to myself, "what's the most mad I've ever been?" I came up with I found out my exhusband had cheated. Then I thought, no, that was more hurt and betrayal than anger.....

No, I have to think the maddest I've ever been is when I saw someone cut someone off on the freeway and that caused a chain accident involving 6 cars. Luckily, I wasn't one of them. I had plenty of room to avoid it. Boy, did that make me mad!!

How about you all?

Well, we have a broken plastic lawn chair because I was mad at myself for forgetting something important...

But one instance that came to mind was in grade school. We had assigned seats on the school bus and I sat with the kids across the road since we got on and off together. One day it was my turn to sit on the aisle but they said no and the driver sided with them. I sat by the window but dropped my books onto the floor. They laughed at me. I was so mad I actually hit them with my books. I don't recall any repercussioins from that because the driver saw them laugh at me.

Funny thing is I don't recall why sitting on the aisle was such a big deal.

Awww Jan..

It would have to been a phone call I got long ago telling my first husband that his father had died. His mom had told him a long time ago that his dad was dead. Don grew up believing that and apparently Sam his dad couldn't get to him because of the mom. His dad was a stuntman in Hollywood. We did go to the funeral and there was a letter there for him written by his father. I will never understand why the woman had that much hate in her heart for a man trying to connect with his son!

Lol, I used to have a terrible temper, but I'd get bad mad, then an hour later forget why!!!!!

That's quite a good point... about being hurt and betrayed rather than angry. Though I have to say I was maddest on my son's birthday when his father had promised to come and take him out - and then called (3/4 hour after he was supposed to pick him up) to say he wasn't coming. No explaination, no apology... just "I'm not coming." *click* I was angry and hurt and betrayed for my son, because all he understood was that dad wasn't coming and couldn't be bothered to see him on his special day. Just goes to show what a shallow person his father is, and Alex picked up on that. THAT made me really mad. I don't tend to get very angry these days... I used to have a really short temper. It takes a lot to get me mad fortunately.

hmm...
Im half scottish and half sicilian.... does this tell you how i am?

I also have a horrible temper. I've gotten a lot better at controling it though. I would have to say that the most mad I ever was was when I was in high school and I finally landed myself a major role in the school play in my senior year. Well instead of my 'friends' be happy for me they were angry and started talking about me behind my back. I got so fed up with it one night in the middle of singing my song in practice I head one of them say something about me and I started bawling and I told her off in front of everyone!!! After that they were nice again. Grrrrr. My hands are shaking just thinking about it!!!


Then again there was the time in CCD that the teacher told me I wasn't a whole person because my father is gay.... the nerve of people. But that might be one of the 'mostly hurt' situations.

That's horrible!

When a really close friend decided to drop not only me but the rest of our friends for the new man that came into her life.

We were always there for her, but she had one short memory!!.

Things like that i bear grudges over because you should never drop your friends no matter who for because there could come a day when you may need those friends!.

My dad and I had an argument about some things he said about my Mom. They had already been divorced for a long time. The argument escalated and he said words I can never forget because they hurt so bad. "I never want to see you again." I got so mad I flung his Christmas present at his windshield when he was trying to drive away. It was wrapped very well and bounced off. He called 3 days later and we made up, but first I was so mad I thought I would explode and then I couldn't stop crying.

That would be the day I found out that all my friends knew my fiance (at the time) had been cheating on me and NO ONE told me. NO ONE. The second, runner-up incident was when he admitted he had cheated. I was angry at him, and at myself for not admitting that the red flags I had seen before were real.

Try being full blooded Sicilian! I'll bury the dagger in your chest, twist it, then pull it back out....then when the red clears, worry that you might have been hurt by what I said while I was doing it. So when I get that mad, I walk away.


I think the angriest I have ever been was when my sister decided to set me straight about how my S/O is not good enough for me. I was so tempted to put her thru the wall as I left.

I remember one time when I was about 20. I was living on my own and my car had been broken into through the rear window. I knew how much those windows were worth and knew that I didn't have that much money in the bank. It had been hard enough to save any money I had at the time, but now I had to pay for a new window for nothing but the whims of the lazy, useless bums in my neighborhood. There I was at work the whole day just boiling inside and nothing to take it out on. I was so enraged my nose started to bleed. I ended up finding a used window through a wrecker, but it took some time and it still ate up almost all the money I had in the bank.

My 4th grade school teacher actually told my class that everyone who wasn't Catholic would burn in hell. I went home and told my Mom. She was fuming and told me to ask her what religion Jesus Christ was. My teacher was speechless.

I've had plenty of mad & angry moments (I'm Irish and a redhead to boot so my temper is pretty bad), but the worst one ever was when my exhusband was released from jail. We all thought "this time" he'd be put away for the full 7 yrs, but he was released AGAIN early due to the jails being overcrowded and him having "good behavior".

He wound up breaking his parole anyway and went back within a year, then was released again. *sigh*

I have an old and good friend whose fiance was a cheater. We all know but did not tell her - reason? She was so smitten with him she would not have believed us and we all knew that somewhere down the road in the not too distant future, she would need all her friends. When she finally saw him for what he was, we were all there to help her pick up the pieces. We told her why we didn't say anything and she agreed that she would not have believed us (or wanted to believe us).

As for me! I don't get mad - I get even! And I can wait years but I WILL get even.

I'll be the very best friend you'll ever have - but you don't want me for an enemy.

The angriest I had ever gotten was that my mother keeps smothering me and wont let me live my life by myself..... Everything that I do has to go through her .... I feel that I have wasted 36 years of my life so far because of her. I never got to meet a guy properly, never got to go on a date, never been married either . The guys(2) plus my online bf now... I had to get by myself without her knowing... And she wont let me travel to meet him either or meet my other online friends. I know how to take care of myself... With my bf but she doesnt think so .
