How angry are some people?

Some people have happy and fulfilled lives but have suffered a major disappointment or sadness. Sometimes grief or frustration can be bottled up in people and a small irrelevant and unrelated niggle can lead to an uncorrelated reaction.

The last time I really snapped was about 5 years ago and I had just picked a mate up from the hospital where he had just been told that (after a bike accident and subsequently several months in hospital and multiple surgery) the doc's weren't ever going to get his legs back up to 100%. I dropped him off at home and spent the next 45 minutes looking for a parking space. Eventually I found one, pulled past it indicating and was about to reverse into it when some girl in a white micra raced up and swept into it. I was so angry that I just snapped and jumped out of the car shouting and swearing at her until she burst into tears before I stormed off leaving my car in the middle of the road blocking her in. I came back about 5 hours later and moved the car and felt really bad - but I'm sorry I was having a pretty bad day! [Incidentally said friend has made a much better than expected recovery although we haven't talked recently so I don't know if he's gotten back on a bike]

I think the time before that I was about 10 when my sister cracked my head open with a rock.
