Pissed Off Moments

[Jason Harris 31]

The other time my ex boyfriend thought he was so big and great and smacked me across the room.

My daughters are 7 and 9. For at least four years now, I've periodically asked them, "What do you do if a man hits you?"

"Leave. And don't ever go back...."

My girl is 3...

She says, "Call daddy to come over and kill him."

I agree with Muck.

I tend to let things roll off my back and take them in stride.

There have only been two times that I have been extreamly upset.

Once, my super whore roommate made racist comments to three of my best friends to their faces.

THAT does not fly with me.

The other time my ex boyfriend thought he was so big and great and smacked me across the room.

Yeah needless to say that one didn't last long.

I'm with a great guy now who wouldn't hurt a fly. Though, scarily, I have been getting creepy stalker emails from my ex.

Time to call my KGB...

I can't speak for Analog, but I didn't talk to my mother for nearly six months, and haven't to my sister for about nine months now.

They each did something that really, really, really pissed me off, so I told myself that I wouldn't speak to them until I heard an apology. If the apology had come the next day when it should have, I would have done what I saw on a bumper sticker: F.I.D.O. - Forget It And Drive On.

Instead, the silence takes on a life of its own.

It's amazing how many people are scared to say "I was wrong. I'm sorry." Big deal, when you're wrong say you're wrong! I can't tell you how many times I've told that to my wife over our marriage, or if I didn't feel I was wrong I've said, "I understand you feel hurt, and I'm sorry for that, but I don't believe I've done anything wrong." At the very least it got a dialogue started.

This kind of leads into a quote that might be my favorite. "It is the weak who are cruel. Gentleness can only come from one who is strong." If you think about why most people won't admit they were wrong -- because they think it's a sign of weakness -- then you can understand how true that statement is.

So what's the result in my situation? I've spoken to my mother, but she felt I should have understood the situation she was in. I did understand, but that doesn't mean I accepted it being taken out on me. Unfortunately, I don't feel as close to her because it was allowed to fester for six months. My sister? Who knows when I'll speak to her -- that's up to her....

Thank God, a decent post. I was about to go friggin' hang myself due to reading the lamest thread in the history of boards.

My daddy... blah, blah, blah... I got beat out for our hockey team... blah, blah, blah... I beat up 17 dudes at one time for no reason because I'm a badass... blah, blah, blah.

Jesus, life sucks sometimes. Family is worth being upset over. A marriage is worth being upset over. Not hockey. Not some chump in a cafe.

$#!t happens. Get used to it.

Babies.

I don't think thats a really fair comment to make as some of these posters are teenagers....and you should know yourself when you're a teenager, some of these things ARE the only things in the world to get mad about

[Guest Muck]

Of course it's fair. There are some really serious things in life, and sports isn't even close to being on the list. By realizing that as a teenager, it's even more beneficial because when you're down by a point in a shootout and it's your shot, guess what, not that big of a deal anymore.

Realistic Outlook= Composure= Performance.

Nervous Pervis misses that shot every time because he thinks it's the end of the world if he misses.

So we now know who qualified as emo when they were a teen, even if that term hadn't existed.

My real life stuff is alot more important than sports. Career, health and college studies are alot more important than doing any sports and having sucess in them. At my age (22) for me sports is about having fun although I miss the competitive part I don't sweat the small stuff.

I think team sports can help with the bigger things in life later. If the teen sees the penalty shot as the highest-pressure situation in his / her life, flubs it, and then realizes that the sun still rises the next morning, it's good preparation for other big moments in life (job interview, marriage, home buying, making decisions for a dying parent, etc.).

They also show that life isn't fair, cheaters prosper, hard work pays off only most of the time, and how to deal with it.

So Muck... Im interseted in what your most pissed off moment is?!

Probably when one of my sisters and I were out at Timmy's with friends and someone's cell phone ran, we had to go home and when we got there the cops were there to "fix" our lives.

Like.... my mother has mental illness and stuff but that had been going on for at least the 20 years and we lived with it. I was raised by her: I am 100% completely mature and (reasonably) normal. I was just PO'd because now my family is strewn across the continent... domino effect. I'm the only one that's not trying to escape, as I was planning on going to grad school anyways.

Might sound stupid but my family is one of the most precious things in my life. And at that moment someone decided that they knew f*ing better and screwd it all up.

I think that is so honorable, hero-like Gavin. Be proud of yourself. Be proud you are there to do something truly meaningful. Here it is, a college athlete, knows up from down.

Doesn't sound stupid at all....that's the way it should be.

maybe not pissed off, jus well mabee erm scared,

when i got robbed when i was 11,

well some of you may know that i live in the uk. i went over to canada to okanagan hockey school when i was 11 for 3 weeks myself,(i stayed in Res)

well first day i went to the proshop and look at skates,(graf 703) and i liked them so i went back to the residence to get my money. thing is they didnt have any lockers or any safe place to put things. so i had to make do with my backpack. well i went back to my dorm and got the cash and went and bought the skates. i was really happy i got my size etc and then i found out later that night that my $700 remaining had gone. i first thought 'i musta misplaced it' but no.

i started to panic and noticed what else was missing my PASSPORT. by this time i was really panicky like shaking etc. all the staff were informed and i phoned my mum and broke down on the phone. i went to sleep that night and woke up with a good attitude.

spent the rest of the 18 days hyper active like a normal 11 year old. my mum sent over more money to me via VISA and then i was sorted out, no more luxuries e.g. new sticks etc. my passport was found in a dumpster 2 days later.

it turned out that it was one of their staff who stole from me.

just for the record he made out with throughout the hockey school :

minidisc player.

$2870

Jewellery

Hockey Equipment and lots lots more.

im kinda embarrased of the above. but i guess my reactions were that of an ordinary 11 year old.

That SUCKS I've been ripped off when I was in my early teens, on the bus and whatnot. But never for $700. Once I had a bike that I spent $2300CND on (I earned the money myself working summers). I raced in road races, time trials, triathalons, and crits. Then one day I had to drop something off at the library and when I ran in to put the books in the slot, I left the bike for 8sec no more unattended. IT was gone, never seen it since. I was really calm, I called the cops and then a buddy of mine came and picked me up. But when I was 15, that bike was the pride of my life. That would have to rank as like the 5th most PO'd moment in my life. (BTW my bike I have now, a Trek XO1, never goes unlocked. Ever)
