Venting. I make up daft insults and aim them at whoever made me angry, though usually under my breath. With the wife it often ends with us laughing, as we make up the most insane, outlandish and offensive insults possible until there's nothing left to do but laugh at the absurdity of it.
I typically only get angry when I have to go shopping.
Never get angry is the easiest, when you do, try to figure out why something has made you angry, often it will turn out it is just not worth it. I think in my lifetime I have only so far experienced one thing that can still make me angry. All other things I am cool with. If people around you make you angry, find better people to be around. If it is people at work that make you angry, just let it slide, when you leave work don't have a stupid remark from a coworker ruin the rest of the day.
sorrel:
identify EXACTLY what/who it is that makes you angry, then you don't take it out on an innocent bystander
I literally turn and walk away. physical distance between myself and whomever/whatever is riling me up usually calms me down pretty quick.
but sometimes I vent too. I think a lot of Western folk are taught not to bottle up feelings. I have lashed out at people for what I considered to be offensive behavior. My Chinese gf was surprised; tells me not to act out. So, odd behavior to her is normal to me, and normal behavior to me is odd to her... welcome to the crazy world....
I go onto websites, pretend to be Chinese and say bad things about China.
:
hahahahah. Traveler, in order for you to be believed, you need to do it with a Chinese accent. How would that sound like? Otherwise they will see you are no Chinese at all. I guess you write in Mandarin and you need to know it very well.
I just walk away, try to have good long sleep, then wake up fresh again.
a child's smile is the greatest solution if you do live children, your favoutire music might help too
bike about 45 mins down the road to where there is a McDs that has a drive-thru, order a coffee and sit on the patio and read a book while I sip my cup of joe.
Then have a relaxing ride bike ride back... unless I get a refill on the coffee, then its a quicker caffeinated ride back.
Listen to Wu tang clan really really loud.
Scandinavian:
ah, damn, now I miss my "pre-marriage" speakers. Man, they would be handy to have play some Wu Tang during nap time, every once in a while.
Here's a marvelous relaxation technique: Imagine the scenario, your boss is on your case, nagging you and making you feel small. Your temples are throbbing and you want to scream, but you don't; instead you picture a babbling brook beneath a beautiful waterfall, sunlight cascading through the leaves of the trees overhead and bouncing off its silvery surface. Now imagine holding your bosses head under that water and smiling down at him as his eyes bulge, his arms flail madly and he gasps impossibly for breath. And tell me. Doesn't that feel better?
mArtiAn:
Ok, now even I find that really really sick.
I love it. A backdrop of dancing girls, a steel band and a quarter of rum and we've got ourselves a party.
Frankly, I stare down the person that has pissed me off and reflect back on what I used to do in Iraq when I was an angry solder. Nothing quite quenches your thirst for angry outbursts like the violence of warfare. Having several lifetimes worth of violent memories is very empowering. Though, I've know several people that haven't been able to handle such memories in their civilian lives. For me, it's all just a matter of focusing all my rage onto that person and imagining what would go down back in the day. Easy solutions...
sex
Amonk:
Oh suuuure, add a woman and it's perfectly acceptable... sadly the women in my town tend to imply that we're going to be married before any fun is allowed to take place.
My wife talking helps calm me down, or i play computer games.
My wife has a personality that rubs off on you
I am lucky....
mArtiAn:
You got there first but yeh, same here, when i'm het up the wife jokes me out of it.
Take a step back and breath . You'll be surprised how much 1 second allows you to think.
In China it gives me time to realize whatever I say the other guy doesn't understand.
TMaster:
Taking a step back usually only allows me to bumb into half a dozen idiots behind me playing with their phones instead of watching
I play Left 4 Dead 2.
It's like China but with real conflict resolution tools. One or two handed.
