How do you deal with anger?

I do something nice for them.

I back away and try to look at the situation from another angle as I do everything I can to not give someone that kind of power over my emotions.

Each situation is handled differently.

First I make sure that no one can come near me. I can be destructive in the state. Then I try to calm down and deal with the problem.

I don’t get angry but I can be annoyed. If you’re trying to take a nap and a fly keeps buzzing around your head or landing on your are in the same spot, well if you want to have peace, you need to take difinitive action. That involves getting up, finding a swatter or can of bug spray, and killing the little bastard. From the vantage of the fly, the swat is death. (Or the spray) So I suppose I seem like an angry giant. From my perspective, it’s a piece of business that needs to happen before this other piece of business can happen.
Some people who annoy me get an eye roll, some get a snort. Some I take the time to reason with and some just get an off the cuff backhand. It all depends on a bunch of variables. But sites like this keep teaching me stuff about myself, and I allow myself the luxury of becoming annoyed by ignorance, stupidity and contrariness, then relieving my annoyance by rolling my eyes or responding.
I feel like keeping input from humans at a low annoyance level is healthy, and I can’t remember the last time I was really angry. But I’ve also been working on releasing fears, so that may be why. I haven’t been afraid in a long time either. Freaking solfeggio tones!

Edit. I avoid them. Until I am no longer angry. Idealy do something nice for them. I’m angry at someone right now and I ignore them.

If I think my anger is well-founded I start a conversation with the person about why I am angry.

In all situations I am likely to rant on Fluther and/or in my blog to get anger out in a mostly harmless way.

I’m Canadian. We apologize first. Just in case it is our fault. we get nasty revenge later. I’m no longer mad at the person and it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Okay, so we talk it through in a quiet, dignified manner, listening to each others point of view & then, after only a short while, they agree that I was right & then I fire them

I end up blaming myself and then apologizing for whatever role I might have played in making them act the way they did towards me. I know, not very healthy.
