I’ve only thrown something out of anger once that I can recall. And it wasn’t “across the room”, it was more of a slam dunk into the drive way. It was my cell phone.
This was a really long time ago, and my rubbery keypad bounced off the drive way into oblivion, because I never did find it again. I had to use a pen to dial out for weeks until I could afford a new phone. haha.
Yes. A rotten pair. Hit my target, too. :-)
Yes, just recently for the first time in years. Was sick and struggling with hooking up new phones under my bed and pitched my alarm clock across the room when it fell on my head. lol
It was satisfyingly smashed, and now, karma being what it is, I hate my new alarm clock, it is completely inferior to the other one that I had for 4 years. Classic cosmic humor. haha
Yes. When I was a kid, I threw a bunch of Hot-Wheels at a wall. Man, was I pissed.
Guilty! and not telling! I will say that I am stronger than I thought! XD
Ive thrown my phone against the wall when I got angry. Then regretted it because I had to buy a new one.
@Coloma LOL I was mad at my husband gave the left sausage to the dog.He was always doing that. I was planning a meal with the left over sausage. Well I must of been PMSing . I blew it way out of preportion and threw big bowl spaghetti and him and the dog who were looking at me all funny. and said“Here why don’t you give the dog this too. I had spaghetti on him , the dog, , the wall( which was white).” I have not thrown anything since. I had to clean it up. I got me some PMS pills. I got that under control.
@Frenchfry
Haha…it happens.
Years ago I threw my exs glasses on the floor and both lenses popped out! Popped them back in and weeks later he told me he was driving when one of his lenses just fell out in his lap. lol
Wow…that was strange. hahaha
@Coloma Did he knew you threw them, they broke and popped it back in or did you keep it to yourself? That must of been a surprise! LOL
I threw my fist through a hollow core door once and learned 3 important lessons…
1) Very unfun trying to remove arm from hole in door and
2) You have to replace damaged door!
3) It’s no different the second time you do it!
A metal colander that made a very satisfying ‘BONK!’ noise as it bounced off my ex’s head. It was a hell of a shot (proof that girls can throw) and the memory of that sounds still makes me smile.
A couple of times, but only while I was at work in a factory, and only then when it was harmless but satisfying, like slamming a broom into a wall. Most of my adult like I have had too much ‘stuff’ to risk throwing anything.
The bowl of spaghetti was FUNNY!
“BONK!” a nice touch!
@Frenchfry
No he never knew, he was in the shower and I was mad about something and threw them on the floor. lol
@Cruiser
Yep, learned the same thing smacking my kinky hose against the fence awhile back. It still kinked and then, because I bent the nozzle, it would not unscrew. Sooooo, I then had a hose that kinked AND sprayed me in the face! lol
I can think of a few times when I’ve violently kicked off a shoe or sandal so that it landed 30 feet away.
Yes, I threw a non-working lamp at a wall when I was in college. The shatter was satisfying, I must admit. Pain to clean up, though.
Yes, hundreds of things. Cell phones, drinking glasses, cosmetics and much more. I seem to be needing a great deal of anger management. Just today I smashed something simply because I hit my finger on it! I hate myself for breaking out on things which I work hard to pay for!
@ucme
I second that OMFG! lol
I admit to ripping more than a couple of necklaces off of my neck and beads flying when they have been stuck in my hair. Cats think it’s amusing…LOOK, all these beads rolling around the floor! lol
@Coloma I would be a rich man if I could invent a hose sprayer that didn’t spray you when dropped it or even just set on the ground!
@Coloma I said, keep it quiet. Sheesh, tongue waggers! :¬)
@ucme
Hey…you can’t bait us like that and expect silence! lol
@Coloma infamy, infamy…they’ve all got it in-famy :¬D
Oh, yes. That is just something I do when I’m that angry. Childish, maybe, but it feels good to let it out like that.
I had a foam brick that made the sound of crashing glass when it was thrown at the wall or any other hard surface. I loved that thing and would throw it around my office quite a bit. Was a great stress reliever. Wish I had that brick now! I looked to buy a new one, but can’t find it. I’m pretty certain I purchased it at Spencer Gifts, but I went to several and they don’t have it. :(
A bf’s celly. He’d been acting very distant for a few weeks so I did the previously unthinkable and looked through his phone texts where I found back and forth flirting, insults about me and pic exchanges with a woman he used to be intimate with.
@bippee I searched for one for you one the net for a while with no success. Sorry!
2 weeks ago i wanted to hurl a half dirt devil. my Mom is so rambunctious.
It shocked me because I dont get that mad often. I think it was a new pill they had me on for fibro. savella.
I ended up tossin a fireplace broom instead.
Yes! I have broken so many phones by throwing them against the wall.
@ibstubro: Nope I didn’t aim for him but he lost a bit of me.
Probably one of my best tantrums was some years ago when I went out one morning and the deer had eaten all my flowers. Later that afternoon they were back and I ran out the door manaically screaming at them like a crazed woman all the way up the hill through the trees and weeds. lol
I swear I could have killed them with my bare hands, and that’s saying a lot for one of the animal, nature nuts of the planet.
My daughter once said, when she was little, that…’ my mommy only says really bad words when the deer eat her flowers.’ lol
@Neizvestnaya Awww…he so deserved it, he probably didn’t feel like you fully loved him.
he he
@Coloma TOO funny! I’ve done that at coons in the backyard, but you gotta be careful of possums…they stand their ground!
@ibstubro: More like he took my love for granted, didn’t think it was that valuable. Oh well, there’s a line that goes, “you don’t always pick the dog you find, maybe I wasn’t what you had in mind…” and you don’t know what you have until someone else shows up who wants it too, maybe more than think you do.
@ibstubro
Oh man, I have raccoon problems too, they come through the cat door, sometimes I go out in the garage at night and they growl at me in the dark, evil little things. lol
@Neizvestnaya
I’ve only had two minor tantrums in 5 years. Ref. to above hose & alarm clock.’
Hmmmm…amazing how few tantrums I have had being single the last few years. haha
@Coloma: I hadn’t had a tantrum like that since the early 90’s, I’d say I’d been doing okay ;p
@Neizvestnaya So, did you ditch the unfaithful phone guy, or reform him? Or had you misunderstood?
Milo here; If Gail were more of a delicate flower, I would certainly toss her around.
@Frenchfry Why didnt the dog lap up all the spaghetti and clean it up?? He could lick the walls, right??
Good thing I’m a bad shot. As a teenager my dad was forever scaring me and my sister. One night he and my step mom worked night shift. He decided to park the car up the road and walk to the house to see if we were partying. We hurt something on the porch so she got the rifle and I grabbed a butcher knife. Just as he opened the door I blew the knife and she fired the rifle. The knife stuck in the door and the bullet hit beside the door. I was angry that some fool thought he was going to get in the house.
@jazmina88 Well I had sauce in fur , everywhere. I remember I had to give her a bath. I kept telling my hubby don’t feed the dog all the leftovers.Number one it not good for the dog to have that much people food.Number two probably was scared she would get in trouble too. LOL.
@ibstubro: He seems to have misunderstood what boundaries I respect between what I term to be friends and has since “reformed” himself in order to prefer my company.~ I thought I’d seen it all but oy, how life does surprise me!
I just did this Thursday evening! I wish I could tell you I had a good reason why, but I don’t really have a rational reason. A friend of mine said that pregnancy hormones, and lack of sleep in the last few weeks can do this and that she did the same thing around the third trimester.
My husband asked me to cook some food and I started complaining about it. So he said we’d go out to eat. Then I started growling because he changed the plans and I was set to eat food from home. Then he started making himself dinner and for some reason this got me really mad that he changed the plans again.
So I threw a can of sunflower seeds—which exploded all over the kitchen. My husband’s eyes bugged out and he said he was leaving the house until I de-freaked. So then I threw a plastic cup at his head—which missed. So I wadded up a bunch of pieces of paper and threw them at him, telling him that he was too confusing and acting like a jackhole.
Then I burst into tears and fell asleep. An hour later my husband was home with a bag of food for me. Man I’m lucky. That’s just not like me at all, btw. I think the last time I threw something I was like 19 (almost 20 years ago) and I think I was drunk or something. This was just weird unexplainable rage.
@keobooks Hee hee He was leaving til you de freaked. He brought you food after all that. You got a winner. Well don’t worry your going to pop soon right.
No, problem, @bippee . I though it was gonna be a snap, but it was the impossible dream. ;)
@Neizvestnaya , all’s good as long as you believe you both fully ‘get’ the other’s expectations. Although I still think it woulda been better if you had hit him with the phone the first go-round! lol
@keobooks , yes, the ‘de-freaked is hilarious. It’s the hormones, nothing to worry about. You were irrational long enough for him to see that it was just a freak. Who cleaned up the mess?
@ibstubro We both did. I sweeped and he held the dustpan. As fair as it could get considering that I can’t bend over to use the dustpan.
I feel sorry for him. I just torment him! I wake him up all the time by my going to the bathroom and rolling around. He needs to help me sit up a lot because I get like a turtle on my back frequently. And then I get grouchy over nothing!
I forgot about the time years ago when I was draining a can of tuna and it squirted tuna juice all over me. Sooo, slammed it into the sink, and yep, you guessed it, the whole can exploded and there was tuna all over the counter, walls, and window. Nice job! lol
@keobooks
Hang in there, after the baby is born you won’t be so moody, you’ll just be exhausted and grouchy. lol ;-)
@keobooks Glad you’re not here cause I LOLed and that prolly woulda made you grouchy, freaked and caused you to roll around on ur back like a turtle.
Hahaha…I enjoy your style SO much.
@Coloma…and something for MR. Keobooks to look forward to as well.
Oh, and once I punched my saddle on my horse when I could not get the stirrup to hook into the right hole while adjusting it.
Classic, my horse turns his head casually and just looks at me. He was laughing no doubt.
That HURT my hand, yes it did! lol
