A near uncontrollable urge to choke somebody out

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Divorced 13 years now but it was amicable and we are still very good friends. I would consider my life very good. I do envy guys who have "normal" lives, you know, wife, kids and all that goes with it. My career path has always been stressful. I never had these thoughts till I became a civilian.

This mornings meeting nearly sent me in orbit. Some dipshit has suggested something very stupid which I do not want to elaborate on. They did a round table discussion asking each our view. When they got to me I stated I wished to defer my opinion till further study. The dipshit told me to stop being coy and give him my assessment of his suggestion. He used a patronizing tone that set my teeth on edge. I responded, "Since you insist I think your idea has been formed by somebody who has never flown a plane and as such should stick to what they know". I thought the guy was going to shit and fall back in it he was so pissed. He then called me insolent. I just smiled and shrugged but I really wanted to jump across the table and stab him in the ear with my pen. After the meeting my boss called me in his office and told me while he finds me amusing I need to be more diplomatic. I just smiled and gave an acquiescent bow.

I really despise the need for diplomacy.

I coulda been rich and loved had I been reticent once in my life. I have no friends and zero interaction with family. But on the whole my life isnt filled with BS and insufferable idgits.

I think the urge to choke, beat, shoot, sliced-n-dice is very natural. I also believe that almost everyone has those thoughts from time to time. Some may swear to God they don't, but the world is full of liars. As reasonably intelligent beings, it is our ability to have the thoughts, yet not act on them, that makes us more powerful than the lower order of animals. Hate to break it to you VBM, but you just might be normal.

Personally I have those kind of thoughts at least once a week. Before I quit my last job it was to a point of having them one right after another. Twenty five years dealing with the general public will have that effect on a guy. Sitting in meeting after meeting with the same idiotic overeducated underexperienced fuckwads will cause it as well. Thank God I found a way out of there and into an office that was filled with people who see the world more in the same perspective as I do.

This is RobDownSouth's complete and utter lack of surprise.

You have to respect his honesty here a little bit.....

While I have never imagined choking someone out, I do imagine breaking someones nose at least once a day; The sound as the cartilage cracks, the instant fountain of blood, the look of pain and surprise on their smug stupid face...... Much more rewarding than choking someone.

Maybe my testosterone level is not as high as every other guy in this thread...or maybe I channel it into more positive areas.

I get angry from time to time, but it's not an everyday thing and I cannot honestly recall the last time I wanted to choke somebody out or punch someone in the nose.

FRUSTRATION - The feeling you get when you are unable to choke the shit out of some son of a bitch who richly deserves it.

This, plus the very article I was going to post a few weeks ago, I didn't bother because I figured those it was intended for wouldn't believe any of it anyway.

You're probably right, but I'm not so certain that it was written to change behavior as much as it was to provide information about a common but poorly understood process.

What I got out of it was a better understanding of how certain people push my hot button whether they intend to or not. It also served as a warning that if I'm getting to emotionally involved in a dispute, there is a pretty good chance I am committing one or more of the fallacies myself.

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.
