Have you ever taken your bad day out on someone who didn’t deserve it?

[Chazmatazz269]

Maybe you had a dozen people smurf up your day, maybe none. Maybe you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Then it all came out when one person lays that last straw down. Maybe they even deserved to know they’re being a jerk. But you gave it all to them; more than they deserved.
Have you ever done that? How did you manage the aftermath?

[strateguy632]

yes! i was turning 12 and... a crazy thing happened.
i was arguing with a pal about what jewelery we would buy if we had thousands of dollars. someone knocked on the door so mom yelled get the door. so i opend the door. it was someone who wanted to give me a birthday present for age 12! then the nightmare started all 3 started yelling at me.
pal said "look at this jewelery" so i gave my pal priority! to look at the pictures with him, but the one who wanted to give me a present wanted to ask me something... i said "just put it on a table."

mom kept screaming from the other room "who is at the door" but i wanted to be with my friend but ma kept screaming, and if she wanted to know she can come herself!

the one at the door kept screaming "why are you making me wait i wanna give you a present" and repeating my name "sam. sam sam etc." so i exploded and yelled "dont give me a present. let me play with my friend" all because of mom's pressure i took out on the one who wanted to give me a present!

I am sure I have done this but maybe only once or twice in all my years on the planet and through all the bad days I have had

Thanks for the MHO

Maybe a small amount of number I can count on one hand, which I normally do end up reflecting and apologizing. But other than that I mostly just isolate myself to take space if I feel like I could potentially project it or be in a bad mood. No one deserves that kind of thing in my opinion. It’s just something you will have to learn on your own, which is “stress management” for developing healthy coping skills as simple as that lol.

I did for about 2 years. My emotions were out of wack! I hated it and I fixed it. But my two poor kids got some yelling from me. I felt really bad and did everything I could to fix my emotions…now I am good and helped them out. They are very understanding.

[Chazmatazz269]

I dated a woman who was arguably too lenient on her kids most of the time. Then she’d just snap and say some really messed up stuff to these kids in a rage. I didn’t know what to do. We weren’t married. They weren’t my kids. They definitely needed discipline, but not whatever that was.

[rosemilk]

yes but they deserved it

[silvermoon84]

Yeah, I did it tonight actually to my best friend, and I felt really bad. She wanted to talk to me about a problem she was having, but I was so tired from running around all week that when she called me I just snapped at her. I immediately told her not to pay attention to the tired grouchy bitch on the phone lol.

[ellefia]

No, I didn't do anything like that, I prefer to be alone when I feel bad or if am going through a bad day

[Chazmatazz269]

Same, but it’s just not entirely possible for me to avoid people just because i’m having a bad day. C’est la vie!

[katiesmuff]

Yes I am guilty of that, but I am also big enough to apologize later when I realize what i just did.

[DrPepper12]

Not at work (teacher so that's a no go) and by the time I got home it was all good. MY FAMILY however NO QUARTER

[Staximus]

Yeah, I've regretted it every time and try not to do that

[imfreeze95]

Unfortunately, yes I have but I apologized. I felt terrible.

[wiltingrosepetal]

yeah there's this thing called menstruation

[Chazmatazz269]

Hahaha!

[laly520]

nope

I stay alone till I feel better

[Chazmatazz269]

That’s not possible for some of us. Count your blessings!

[Simslover92]

Yes I did and I felt bad about it.

[LaurenM1997]

I think we are all guilty of doing it

[elizamichale1]

Nops never

[Deserter2]

Gimme your lunch money, punk!
