Have you ever \'snapped\'?

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!!

*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.
