My examples were definitely hyperbole with respect to your level of being pissed. I didn't mean to imply you are doing crazy stuff like that.....but I do see much more of that rage than I used to (I'm mid-fifties). It's like so many people feel like they have some God-given right now to be angry and express it however they see fit.....verbally, physically or online.If I went with “Boy I’m slightly less than mildly annoyed” rather than what I said, then it wouldn’t have caught your attention and we wouldn’t have a hilarious thread. Hyperbole gets the juices pumping though.
the idea that I’m some rage-aholic totally out of control is on the same level. I’d buy most of you a beer and laugh about it IRL.
True story....I was visiting the maternity ward at a hospital recently that required a finger print in order to scan your finger for access to that floor. Got on the elevator with a man and his wife. He was every bit of 65 plus years old. We tried numerous times to scan our fingers but the scanner was not working properly. Every time he scanned he cussed a little louder till about the third time when he lost his mind and punched/ kicked the scanner off of the wall to the point it was hanging by the wiring. The speed of zero to hundred level anger was off the charts. Just seems to be more of that happening in public places than I remember in the past.
