Have you guys ever got uncontrollably mad? Just like a moment of insane rage where you almost seem to black out from?
I noticed that when I think about it, I only snap when I\'m playing sports or doing something competitive. I can still get pissed in stressful situations, however its most likely to occur when I\'m trying to win something.
I guess I have no sportsmanship.
When I played basketball for a youth league (Roughly from age 9 to 14), I averaged at least one technical foul every game. Now I was a good player, I started at small forward, but I had a quick temper. Here are technicals I remember:
- Spiking the ball on the ground and yelling "This is bullshit!"
- Taking a blatant charge, then getting called for a blocking foul and then tried using my feet to trip the guy.
- Taunting. At least two or three times.
- Just simply yelling, "F***!" aloud.
- Taking my jersey off and throwing it on the ground.
It extended from basketball even... In baseball I nearly got my ass kicked by some kid\'s dad because after I got beamed in the side, I threw my bat at him (the pitcher). The dad started screaming from the bleachers and tried to storm onto the field.
Then I remember playing football, the play was at least three seconds done with and a guy re-tackled one of my best friends as he tried to get up. I got so mad, I took my helmet off, ran over and cracked him aside his head with it.

Actually, I snapped today.
I had just woke up to get ready for work and somehow got into a shouting match with my dad. So it was already set that I had a bad mood for the day, then I work my easy ass 4 hour shift. After work I head straight to baseball where I proceed to hit two off the fence at 340, where it was deemed that I had "WTP"(warning track power). All I want is a homerun and I don\'t ****ing get one. I get home from baseball and find that 16 dollars that I left on my dresser has came up missing.
My mom is paying some guys from down the street that are my age to work on the yard and they\'re ghetto. I already had one problem with them when they were hanging out in the house and pulled out weed. One of them is a good kid while the others are plain trouble. They\'ve came into my room a couple times to play college football with my bros and they were when I woke up this morning. So after I leave for work I\'m positive that they took it. When I figured it out I was so furious that I couldn\'t think straight. I can\'t even think to type this post really. No telling what I\'m gonna do when I see them.

I got snapped lots of times.The most recent was a few weeks ago.Me and a friend started a conversation about movies while I was driving.He liked Kill Bill but I thought it wasnt very good despite that I didnt see it.Well...we have the same problem...we lose temper easily...he has many problems in his mind...i have too...we get depressed easily and we express it in anger...so he started shouting and hitting with his fist in the car, he even opened the door to jump out of the car.
Then hell broke lose and I started driving like a mad man, drove over the pavement and went nuts.I started screaming!! :p

*raises his mug of beer* Good move! Never compromise the opportunity to throw a bat at somebody!

Yeah I think I snap too much too often. But after this week I\'m about to snap it into half except this one chick is keeping me sane...and I love her for it.

it\'s because we are not taught respect for others as children

I\'ve snapped a few times where I was actually in a rage. Mostly at lunch. Things would end up in my drink and after a while I snapped at one of my best friends and was throwing stuff at him and smacking the table and stuff. I\'m usually pretty chill and stuff but I really was mad. I apologized the next day (he didn\'t put anything in my drink).
-
I\'ve only really snapped once and that was in high school. I was on the football team and we were playing our biggest rivals and all of their players were dirty and did cheap shit. One of them put his helmet into the back of my friend\'s knee way after the play was over and I went over to the guy, ripped his helmet off and beat the hell out of him.
The benches cleared and the police had to restrain the the players and the crowd because they were trying to get onto the field. About 10 players got ejected, I was one of them.
-
I generally hate stupid people and I\'m smart enough to avoid them at all costs. I\'ve yet to snap at anyone or be in a fist-fight.
-
I\'ve gotten incredibly angry a few times, but never enough to actually commit a violent act against someone. I\'m too aware of the consequences of my actions and at my age, they don\'t just fake arrest you and take you home to your mother, they throw your ass in jail if you beat the shit out of somebody.
However, as not to make this post too boring, I will say that the most hilarious case of rage came from my friend who was mad after a series of incidents during the day and positively snapped at some jerk tailgating him for a few miles who then finally honked at him at a red light or something like that. My friend got out of his car, walked over to this guy\'s door and tried to open his door to pull him out of his car to beat the shit out of him. Unfortunately, the door was locked, but this didn\'t stop my friend from ripping the door handle right off this guy\'s car. The second the guy saw that happen, he sped off and my friend threw the door handle at the guy\'s car as he sped away.
Hilarious story everytime I think about it.

HA HA!!!
People who tailgate and unnecessarily honk are such pricks...

The bat didn\'t hit him, didn\'t come close really. I honestly wasn\'t throwing it at him, I spiked it on the ground in anger and it took a nasty bounce towards his direction. But I could hear his dad calling me a "little prick" from the stands and try to get through the gate. I was maybe 11 years old at the time, so I probably would have hauled ass.
By the way, I brought this up because last night I was playing racquetball with some friends. I kick their asses every night, but there is one guy who is a scrawny piece of shit that I can never seem to beat. Well I ended up blowing a 7 point lead to lose the game, and I was so pissed I threw my racquet at the protective glass.
:shy:
Like I said, it seems to only happen with sports.

Ive snapped, mostly when I was tired. But I never "blacked out".
And also, Ive been so angry I cry after I do something, like get into a fight.

I don\'t mean literally "black out", but just sort of a mental rampage where you aren\'t really thinking but acting.

That\'s happend to me before. I dunno I guess it\'s just my adrenaline is so high my emotions get mixed up. Hasn\'t happend in awhile though, I never get that mad really.. no fights either so..

During cross country season, my car was stolen a second time while I was with my friends at Albertsons. My mom came to pick us up after I had called her and told her what happened. We were on our way to take the first one home, when we noticed a car very similar to mine...
My mom drove up to it, passenger side (me) facing the car. I instantly turned blood red and swung open the door, not caring that there were four boys around my car. My friend in the backseat quickly swung his arms around my chest to hold me in while my mom reached over and closed the door. The other two also jumped up to hold me in.

I\'m not quite sure is this classifies as snapping or not but it does relate to what di was talking about with his basketball / competitive spirit.
I joined a competitive league at a local place called Joe Dumars FieldHouse with some of my friends from my work. I am used to playing in rec leagues through the city were I had 4 straight MVP of the Season awards :) I am talented at basketball just hate our school coach and never played for him. Those rec leagues were age specific while this Joe Dumars one has many kids from the inner city (Detroit) in it. It is an 18 and up but most of the guys are in there earlier 30s or late 20s. So yes, these are a very good bunch of players. Late in a game, I missed a three that would have made the game within reach and I yelled out f***. Just after, a kid on the other team who we had been playing extremely tight headbutted me in the nose. I shoved him to the floor and one of his teammates grabbed my by the neck. Out of the corner of my eye I see the Joe D security guard coming at me like a bull. This man is insanely large and he checked me into the wall and jacked me in the face. He goes, get that s*** out of my gym and literally tossed me out. I was suspended for only a game though. check us out sometime will ya ;)

Now I wonder what this has to do with "snapping"

Hey Swif, perhaps the reason why you only snap whilst playing sports is due to the fact that your testosterone levels are at their maximum capacity.
Not that it matters, whether it\'s biological, or bad sportsmanship you\'re still a psychopath and I wouldn\'t let my kids play against you. :)
I don\'t get particularly angry.. my version of snapping would be an incredible sense of dredd, loneliness and isolation when my world seems to be spinning out of control. I know that everything that\'s going on can be managed by I just seem to lose it.
My friend has the most hilarious way of snapping. Only when he\'s had a stressful day and is hanging around his girlfriend for extended periods of time, and she just says little annoying things that irritate you the first time they say it but after hours of non-stop comments and actions he just drops his head and when he looks back up he just laughs uncontrollably for about 10 minutes. In a very homer-esque way.
-
i snapped lots of time, such as my nephew stole my Castlevania because he thought I took his game. He is an asshole that took my games without asking me.
I snapped at other things people did that made me mad like being mean to me and taking advantages and misled people and deceived them for their own advantage. I hate those kind of people.
-
it, has everything to do with it, uni

I dont think that can be the only reason or a reason found in every case.Sometimes thats how things seem to look like from the outside but thats not it.
-
*shrug* I guess I learned, then...
Haven\'t snapped in a while, but when I was in those elementary ages, I snapped all the time, and usually at sports. If someone started bragging about beating me in a competitive game (1 on 1 basketball, flag football, something like that), I\'d usually go nuts and try to beat the crap out of them. On more than one occasion, the situation would end up with my hands around somebody\'s neck, and their parent getting pissed off and calling my dad, wondering what the hell he was teaching me.
Somehow, me and the kids I fought with always found a way to forgive and forget (damn, we were naive), but shit...some pretty good brawls with some kids back in the day, simply due to my temper.
Yeah, I\'ve calmed down a little bit...but I still do get pretty peeved over sports sometimes, but not to that extent anymore.
See Yuz.
-
Yes.
Once I almost stabbed someone with a pencil.. :shy:
But that was a long time ago, I havent "snapped" in a long time.. I have a pretty slow burning fuse.
-
I\'ve only ever snapped once. Was in my brothers room, playing on his pc at the time.. My mate clayton wanted to have a go, i had only just got onto the machine. So he decided he wanted to poke my ribs with his index fingers.
He kept doing it for ages until i just got to a point it was more hurting then shitting me. I told him to piss off and he kept doing it, after at least 30 minutes of it i snapped turn around pushed him, punch his mid section about 5 times, stepped back and cross side kicked him through my brother’s cupboard. Let’s just say my brother wasn\'t impressed and my parents were really pissed. Clayton was fine though, he hasn\'t never shitted me sense. :)
Thats the only time i\'ve fully snapped....
-
Im sure ive snapped but i dont think i really have in a physical way. I remember once when i was about 6 or 7, i was playing world track meet on the NES with the running pad and i had lost to the last guy and i threw the conroller yelling "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" So then my mother from all the way in the back of the house was just like "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?" of course i shut up, but i got what was coming to me.
I can faintly remember some other times, like one where i was at a father son retreat and I was really tired and this guy bob always pissed me off. For years i hated this guy and he said something like sit up young man, and i was at the point of falling out into a deep sleep. You know how that is.
And so later hes like stop acting like a little shit and i snapped and basically told him and everybody else in the room to **** off and how they can all go **** themselves because the only reason i was there was for my fathers sake and because i really didnt have any other choice. I think i fell back asleep or maybe i was too angry to go to sleep. I dont quite remember.
I know theres been worse but i cant think of any right now. Maybe i did "black out" in those cases. Who knows.
-
I can only remember snappnig once. It was during a spades game in high school. This huge kid was on the other team that me and my partner both thought were cheating. We accused him of it, he denied it and the next thing I remember is me punching him in the face and getting thrown out of the lunchroom.

:rolleyes:... Why would they have reason to snap at you?

When I was little i used to be in permanent snap mode. I would always run into my sisters\' room in the middle of the night talking about ninja turtles, I\'d pee in the plant in kinergarden, in that same class I\'d whif blocks at everyone at anytime. Once I built a fort and was "defending it" by chucking them ferociously at everyone, including the teacher/parents. I use to pull my pants down a lot too. I got expelled from kindergarden.
Personally, if you ever intentionally tried to harm someone physically without being physically provoked first I consider you an idiot. I\'ve never snapped ever since I semi grey up. I couldn\'t do it if I tried I\'m really too aware of every situation.
"Cheerleaders and preps at school snap on me all the time...too bad i guess."
"Have you ever \'snapped\'?

Another example of a spoiled brat. :p

I snapped at my brother once we were in one of our brotherly love skirmishes cuz he pissed me off and swung and hit me in my face I picked him up off the ground a few times and slammed his ass back into it.
-
In high school, this kid who was a "fringe friend" was sitting with us at lunch, and my buddy Dave threw a piece of cake at me. I threw it back at him, and he deflected it-hitting this kid Scott. Everyone was laughing, no harm done. Well Scott flipped out \'cos everyone was laughing at him, and he said, "oh, you think that\'s funny?" and he threw a glob of mashed potatoes at me, hitting me in the face. Before I knew what was happening, I flipped my lunch tray over the table at him, jumped up on the table and kicked him in the throat. While he was falling to the ground I jumped on him and stomped on his head. He outweighed me by about 25 lbs, so he got up and pushed me through 2 rows of people eating, so I picked up a chair and threw it at him, then the Vice-principal grabbed me from behind.

i used to snap all the time when i was a kid but since ive gotten older i havent found anything that could make me mad enough
unless somebody hurt my kid, if that happened i seriously have a hard time not murdering the person

True that. I get tailgated going 70 on an Interstate Highway. People are such pricks. Some times, I like to have fun with them and slow down to like 10 under the speed limit then just speed off at a light.

Kicked in the throat? Jesus Christ.
..And he got up?

DeDanna, I don\'t think you quite comprehend what SwifStylah means by "snap".
To have an uncontrollable rage that you can\'t control no matter how much you try to control it.
For those cheerleaders to snap at you in the way that Swif means, you would have to be a horrible person who relentlessly teases those poor cheerleaders for no good reason at all. Shame on you, you stupid bitch. Just leave the ****ing cheerleaders alone for ****s sake. They\'ve probably never done a bad thing to you in their life, yet you just continually drive them to anger of Hulk proportions purely for your own twisted amusement. WELL NO ONE IS LAUGHING YOU SICK BITCH.

Bob just snapped again :p

Neither do I and I get along with pretty much everyone. Cheerleaders are too ditzy for me but I still can talk to them. Hell, I buy clothes at f***ing Sears and still have no problem making friends. You have to be one shallow person to think that people like you because you wear Abercrombie.

I get pissed off all the time, mostly in sports. Probably because my coach is a prick and rides my ass. At half-time during one game we were getting our ass kicked and everyone on the team was mad, then he looks at me and is like "Come on Cory! Get your head up!" then i looked up and stared at him. He said
something like "Whats your problem?" and i was like "We\'re losing by ****ing 28 because you don\'t know what you\'re doing."
Yeah, I didn\'t play during the 2nd half.
Another time during a basketball game, in my freshman year, a ref called a foul on me, so at the free throw line I went up to him and was like "that was bullshit" real quietly. He got all bent out of shape and gave me a technical.
Another time during a tournament me and some kid were going at hit. Bumping, grabbing, talking. Two times down the court we got a double foul called. Then on one possession he got mad enough and threw up a forced shot and air balled it. I just started busting out laughing, uncontrollably. I\'ve never seen someones face get that red with anger, then my coach took me out, and i sat on the end of the bench and laughed some more.
Last time I actually kicked someones ass over something though was back in 5th grade. We were at lunch and I asked a friend to sneak me some cookies outside because he had big pockets in his pants (we werent allowed to bring food out of the cafeteria). So he walks out before me then takes off running eating MY mother ****ing cookies. They were huge cookies too, like the kind you buy at baseball games. So i chased him down and he threw the cookies. I didn\'t care though. I grabbed him, threw him down, and proceeded to kick the shit out of him.
