Wanna come to my house and get pissed? lol

I do the exact same thing. In fact when my GF sees me starting to boil over she will calmly say "dont you have some wood to split?"

road rage....

how about web rage?

It's a funny thing actually, sittin' alone in front of a machine, nobody around, and angry as all get out!

hmmmmmm, hope it ain't me you're referring to in this thread, haha!

Imagine a story without any embellishment, bars would be such boring places.........

Imagine a bar where everybody spoke the exact truth without holding back in case anybody got upset............

Now imagine a bar where a little nerd swaggers in and boasts about how he just split 3 cords of oak before lunch..........

There are places where embellishment can add something, but when you get a nerd spouting a load of bulls@@t it's time to do something........

Just smile, go outside with him, and split a few rounds of birch, then give him the axe and a nice knobbly bit of oak and stand back ;-)

As the Zen master says, you just did it!

I try to realize that we all have anger, opinions, and misunderstandings, and that rudeness is a human failing that comes from discomfort and insecurity. To the degree we can be gracious, kind, and fun, we make the world a better place.

Do your best to cope, and lean on friends when you need to.

By the way, great avatar!

Working with wood is a very thereapeutic way of blowing off steam.
