Have you ever completely snapped?

[Emmaisme2025]

I just saw a video of a girl who completely destroyed a whole store because her card got declined. Im wondering for those that have had meltdowns like that what did you do? Why? How did it feel? Where was it? What lead up to it?

Not “completely”, but i have wildly overreacted in the past. I have a fierce temper and a tendency to hold grudges. I’ve done a lot of work to not express myself that way anymore. My own temper is the only thing that really scares me.
I have hurt people, bad. That includes myself. I’ve smashed countless inanimate objects. I’ve punched and kicked holes in walls and doors. I punched all the way through the wall of a mobile home once. That ended my tantrum immediately. I couldn’t stop laughing about it at first.
I’ve had cops called because of my tantrums a few times. I never went to jail for my temper per se. One of my DUIs was the result of a drunken rampage though. Luckily i’ve always managed to rein myself in before i got myself into real trouble. This is why i can honestly say that i have never “completely snapped”.
I am in a near constant state of “I wish a mufugga would…” though.

Not like that. A lot of people need someone to take anger out on…. Even if it isn’t their fault.

People who reach that stage often aren’t doing well for one reason or another. Acts of violence, or even just temper tantrums, can usually be signs of an inability to regulate one’s emotions properly as adults. I imagine this woman you’re talking about had a lot of stress built up and the card declining was just the last straw.

That makes sense. Did you ever do anything like that?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

No, I journal

[DryGermanGuy]

No. Sometimes I had to chew someone out because of their work performance.

Well, not because my card got declined...
