Are you aggressive?

Spec · December 18, 2003, 20:21

Cuz I am.....Well rarely....well no. Not rarely, but not often either. Well, it really depends on the situation.
Well, I really feel sometimes like I NEED to kick someone's ass. Do you ever feel that way?

I'm a fun outgoing person that really loves to laugh an all but when someone or something gets on my nerves I have a hard time controling my self. But the more I age the better I get at it.
Take this for example:
It's Christmas time and the malls are filled with people. Some stupid peeps keep driving around to find a parking spot. Me, on the other hand, go at the entrence of the mall, wait for someone to come out and follow them to their car. So that's what I did. When I get to the guys spot, some other guy pulls in in front of me to take my parking spot. I amlost got out of my car to kick the guys ass but I didn't.
That's what I'm talking about. I have these kind of....I dont know....explosions of anger towards these situations and I have problems controlling my temper in these moments. 5 years ago I would've probably got out of my car, pulled the guy out of his car and kicked his ass....which would probably have got me in some trouble so I'm glad I didn't. But imo, the guy deserved it, just so he doesn't do it again to someone else....and calm my self down.

Are any of you the same? Did you fight a lot when you were young? Do you have a bad temper in specific situations?

I cant seem to get rid of it....I wish I could....Atleast I dont do stupid stuff like that anymore...

Do I attack random puppies and little children? Sometimes...

Do I stand up to myself when facing aggression? Everytime.

Spec · December 18, 2003, 20:30

What about that time with the stupid teen that insulted you and you didn't do anything? Why didn't you kick his ass? Remember?

Spec, oh yeah, damn.. you're correct. Well.. yeah but I was aggressive. I just didn't act on it. I can be aggressive inside. I just don't do a thing about it. I was pissed off sure.

Oh, no. Never. Not at any time.
I'm so chilled it's suspected I'm comatose.

Spec · December 18, 2003, 20:36

Ok then Slow, what would you have done in the parking situation I mentionned?

Spec.

Pekka · December 18, 2003, 20:38

Spec, and you can't count that anyway.. I wasn't really facing aggression. I was getting insulted... Hey, I haven't attacked a person that only insulted me. The times that I have attacked was when those punks kicked my car, and when that whale was raining on my friend. So there

.
I don't get into peoples faces..

Bereta_Eder · December 18, 2003, 20:41

Nope I never really fought. Never really had to I guess. I'm tall and nature has endowed me with a pretty intimidating physic (even though I never really have worked out) so I guess it's the "prevention" case in my case. They see they don't want to mess with me (even guys which could possibly kick my ass if they wanted to).

That is if I have my patience. If I lose it it can very well come to blows. But somehow this is also perceived from the outside apparently and when I'm pissed there never is any provocation. Of course all this goes for strangers, not the people I care about, which I could never hurt.

I very very rarely lose patience though, almost never.

Once such case where I did lose my patience was when I was getting my car out after having spent a night guard at the army and being really tired.

There was this communal parking close to the barracks that had only one way for cars to enter and exit and only one car could fit at a time.

Just as I was ready to exit the parking lot, another car tries to enter. I step on the gas and go forward and the other driver does the same.

Without thinking I dash out of the car and smash close the door, really ready to have a fistfight. The other driver does exactly the same, and as I was ready to hurl my first curse at him we both at the same time realize we're friends!!! He was a friend from the army who actually was just coming to do his morning guard. (the time was about 6 in the morning).

We ended calling eachother re malaka! (which would translate to damn w@nker - and it isn't a curse if you say it the way we did) and we laughed our asses off.

Everyday madness of the army. I was laughing all my way back home.

Well I did...before. I still want to, but dont anymore, but I still have a hard time keeping my cool. I hope it will go away someday.

Here in Texas, we have cattle guards. See below.

With the proper amount of force...

I'm not at all. I've never hit anyone in my life, and I don't intend to. I can usually find a way out in most situations, and I've never needed to hit someone. I'm incredibly pacifistic. The only way I would ever be able to hit someone is if they hurt Louise. Nothing else could be worth violence.

Not even to teach them a lesson so they dont do it to someone else?

Pekka · December 18, 2003, 21:01

Not even to defend your friend, who is already getting trashed?

JohnT · December 18, 2003, 22:35

Are you talking about "fighting" or are you talking "aggression." Seems as if some people are thinking that the two are the same when they're not.

For the most part I'm a nice guy, but I get what I want. Period. Is that aggressive?

Pekka · December 18, 2003, 22:37

JohnT is right. JohnT IS RIGHT!

You are now a danger to society -- congratulations.

I took over somebody else's company 'cause I was pissed at my parents. Is that aggressive?

JohnT · December 18, 2003, 22:40

It took me 5 minutes to get to a location where it took everybody else (well, two other car loads) 10. Is that aggressive?

I almost never get physically aggressive. It would require extended periods of incitement on a very specific topic. Most things don't phase me in terms of inciting aggression though.

Where most people normally get aggressive I become assertive, or apathetic, depending on how (un)important it is in the grand old scheme of things.

JohnT · December 18, 2003, 22:43

Some whiny **** at Best Buy kept on telling me about the service plan when I kept asking him "how many disks does a DVD recorder burn before it burns out?" (I don't even know if they do burn out). I told him to get his manager, and then asked the manager my questions. When his manager answered them to my satisfaction I then asked the assistant "Now why couldn't you do that?" and then looked at him, expecting an answer. He didn't have one.

Is that aggressive?

JohnT · December 18, 2003, 22:44

Some buttmunch cut me off in traffic the other day without signalling. Pissed me off, so, using my cell phone, I called the "Hows my Driving? 1-800-EAT-****" number on the back of his van and reported him.

Is that aggressive?

Pekka · December 18, 2003, 22:44

JohnT, You're aggressive. That's not allowed in civilized society! I like it.

MrFun · December 18, 2003, 22:45

Ok, now someone really has pushed JohnT's buttons.

He is unstoppable now -- thanks a lot guys.
