How Angry Are You?

Temperature Of The Nation

Don't let anger get the better of you

For Mental Health Action Week 2008 we want you to get your head round your anger.

We are all wired to get angry sometimes, but it can be bad for us. Anger is powerful. It can damage your relationships and your life.

Rant Off

Are you close to boiling point? Need to let off steam? Expressing your anger can make you feel better, but it can also make things a lot worse.

Get it off your chest without scaring your friends witless by having a rant right here. We won’t rant back, but we may pick your rant to join our Top 5!

Slapping
26 / 3 / 2008

I don't know why but if I am on a train or bus and can hear someone slapping as they eat, I get REALLY DISGUSTED AND UPSET and want to shout at them to keep their mouth closed when they eat! Must be something that was drummed into me when I was a kid that it is rude to eat with your mouth open!!!

Parking
7 / 4 / 2008

One of my (many) irritants is inconsiderate parking. As a frequent pedestrian, I'm used to side-stepping litter, dog poo and A-boards but there is the now the pavement hog. Two wheels on the pavement is bad enough - especially when these people park near a lampost, however we now have the full-on hog who thinks it's acceptable to park with all four wheels on the pavement forcing me (and often my child) to cross or walk in the road just to get past. if the powers that be were really interested in the planet they would crush these vehicles, fine the drivers and reward us pedestrians for being the most environmentally friendly road users. Ain't gonna happen though

Supermarket chatters
23 / 3 / 2008

I'm all for people being friendly and having a good old natter, but i hate it when you are waiting in a supermarket line to be served and the person in front of you is having a nice long natter with the cashier, they appear to know each other and chat away unaware that i am trying to get through quickly because i have better things to do than stand and listen patiently when really i just want to say "for goodness sake hurry up and serve me"..... grrrrr

Standing in the shopping aisle

It really irratates me when people stand in the supermarket talking or dithering, taking up the whole aisle so you cant get past or they walk so slow that you cant get past.....so you turn the other way to find the same scenario
