Tell me the media isn't secretly running a campaign to make ours and everyone else's bloods boil. Though that's more or less likely true, before you answer "It's the %$#@ing internet what did you expect???" do you often find yourself steering yourself towards or away from articles that have that "tendency" to make you mad without you knowing?

No polls here, just tell what you think in your own words. I'll only answer if I have enough free time aside from work. XDDD

I usually don't set out to make myself angry, but at he same time I can't just pretend they don't exist.

Well that's good, cause at least you know they're out there, right? (It's why I don't even read the newspaper much @.@ )

I've got a fairly decent level of control over my anger. I used to work in the complaints compartment of a nursery-furniture retailer over the phone, and spent the whole day listening to hormonal women and their aggressive husbands yell at me for things I had absolutely no control over. I think I cracked twice, and other than that I just focused on being productive.

Still, some people will try push your buttons at every opportunity they get, and the only way to make them stop is to verbally tear them to pieces so they know you won't take their crap. Harsh but true.
