Today, I desperately needed to let off some steam at work, so I went outside and screamed obscenities at the top of my lungs, before heading back inside. The police then showed up to investigate complaints of a "raving lunatic" in the area. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, after finally getting rid of an extremely rude, abusive customer, I muttered that I could kill people like her. I didn't know my manager had heard me, until a pair of police officers arrived. He'd reported me for "threatening to murder a customer". FML
Today, I heard screaming coming from my neighbor's house. Since her husband has a history of abusing her, I called the cops. After they left with him in custody, she called to yell at me because they were "working things out" after "having a few drinks". FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I was caught on a hot mic during a work department meeting complaining about someone using a leaf blower, F-bombs and all. FML
Today, I was escorted out of the building for getting in a scuffle at my anger management class. FML
Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML
Today, while at work, I let out a nasty wet fart, thinking no one would hear me since I work in a warehouse. My coworker did hear me, and replied, "WTF? Shots fired! Shots fired!" FML
Today, to make my dorm neighbours think I'm popular, I blasted music and screamed at the top of my lungs so it sounded like I was having a party. My residence manager slapped me with a noise violation, and demanded to come in to make sure we weren't drinking. I had to explain why I was by myself. FML
Today, I woke up loudly screaming from a "night" terror. I say "night"; I was actually at my desk at work, in the middle of the day, surrounded by dozens of co-workers in their cubicles. FML
Today, I stormed out of a restaurant after an argument with my boyfriend to make a dramatic exit. Instead of the front door, I marched into what turned out to be the kitchen. The entire restaurant heard me swear and then quietly shuffle back out. FML

And you thought screaming obscenities at the top of your lungs wouldn't scare and catch the attention of people within earshot of you?

As does punching stupid people. However, that also involves the police.

I'm not calling you a raving lunatic, but normal people don't do that. Find a pillow next time.

Sounds like good therapy to me.

Dude, you think that's bad? There was one night where I was so stressed and I got into my old junker of a car and the ignition was stuck, so while working myself up trying to get it started I started cursing and may have punched my own dashboard once or twice before the stuck key finally gave in. I drove to my destination and as I was pulling in when red and blue lights showed up in my rear view mirror, and I realized I had been followed, because someone had called to report a crazy person was screaming, possibly for help, in a car. Ended up having my vehicle searched flipped upside down before I was finally free to continue with my evening, which ended up going downhill from there.

And who would even do that anyway?

Notice how OP didn't claim the raving lunatic was himself. Denial. One of the primary symptoms of lunacy.

Idk why this got more ydis! seriously haven't any of you ever felt the overwhelming need to just explode and let out whatever? I don't know about the rest, but I like buying diet coke cans, shaking them and throwing them against a random, abandoned wall... Honestly its therapeutic, idk why everyone likes to pretend they're perfectly devoid of emotions.

Healthy human beings don't go around screaming at the top of their lungs in public. If you think that's acceptable adult behavior, there's something wrong with you.

Seriously? My mother was given a "damnit doll" to get her frustration out. She could do what she wanted, throw it, hit it, anything to let out stress. If you don't let out stress, it's going to build up and THAT won't be healthy for you.

Most adults (that I know) don't deal with by screaming in what is obviously a public place. Usually they wait until they're alone to handle their shit.

Venting is not a good way to handle stress. It only makes you more habituated toward doing that more often. Try walking away from the stressful situation, going to a quiet place, taking deep breaths, listening to calming music, etc.

Venting is exactly how you deal with stress. When I'm upset I talk to others. That's considered venting. It might be a good idea to 'walk away' when you can but try doing that and those other things at work. If therapists, you know actual professionals, recommend venting then I think it's a pretty good strategy to deal with stress. It's not like he does it every day, screaming is a LOT better than punching something or someONE.
