Did you ever just want to hit people? (woman, love, spouse)

[TKramar]

I often find myself restraining myself from saying what I would like to, or keeping myself from hitting someone in times of stress.

People, in person, are just annoying to me so often. I'm not sure that this is an "introversion" thing. I think it might be something else. It seems that people are either stupid, or getting in the way of me doing what I'm trying to do. People ask me "dumb" questions or they literally stand in the way of what I'm trying to do.

An example from last night: we sort our freight in outside garden, and I had a pallet that we weren't going to have to deal with, because it belonged out there anyway. I went to put it down one aisle, and another employee said that they were working down there. I asked about another aisle, and she claimed they were working down there also [with a machine, so they needed driving room]. I went to put it where it would be "out of the way" and she complained that it would be in the way of customers. There wasn't anyone out there at the time, and we closed in half an hour. We've been doing this for the past few months this way, and there haven't been any problems so far.

Other times, we'll be trying to get down main aisles and we'll have customers stand RIGHT in the middle of the aisle, with their shopping carts, so that we have to go another way to get around them. We stay open later on Fridays, but we come in the same time, so on Fridays there are some customers in the store when we're trying to work. "Our" job is not customer service oriented, and it's annoying to deal with customers when it isn't a part of our job. If that was the job we sought, then we really couldn't complain about that part of it [although they can still ask dumb questions]. But I get annoyed, and I really want to hit people sometimes. I just don't usually do it.

I can appreciate that: dumb people are annoying just for the sake of being annoying. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an extreme emotinal disturbance defense to lwt you just whale on them?

Oh wait a minute, I have to be a responsible adult: TK everyone has those feeling but it's a good thing you are smarter than them and don't hit them.

whisper * it should be okay though, they ask for it, dumb laws.*

Sometimes very frequently. Especially the people who spew out utter nonsense and back it up with the whole "it's my opinion and people have different opinions" spiel.

Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but your opinion makes you sound like a complete dumba s s!

True story.

I'm certain everyone feels like that at some point in their life. However, if I hit someone then there are two possible consequences:
1) He/she can file an assault charge against me. I don't want to ruin a perfect record due to lack of self-control.
2) He/she retaliates in return, delivering much harder blows than I did. I don't hit anyone, unless it was a self-defense life threatening case (if there was no other option available but to fight back or a beloved one is threatened).

i am convinced that 50% of the time people don't actually know they are in the way, b ut the other 50% they are purposely doing it to annoy others. like they are bored and just want to get a rise out of you...(or me)
i hope i never actually hit someone! but i have wanted to shake some sense into people

My dad always used to say "If you're going to hit someone you better knock them out on the first try."

my pet peeve is co-workers who are stationery who try to engage you in small talk while you're busy and have a million things to do. you pass them, they say hello and if you pass they can't accept that you're occupied and will either hello you until you answer or give you a sour puss

then they start with what appears to be gossip or small talk but is really more heavy handed, like they want information they can bring back to their spouse or relative who works there(they don't want to "mess it up" for their relative)
, or they start criticizing the quality of services we provide to clients behind the boss' back when they should be the one in the boss' office complaining, not dumping on others

or workers who heard something about you thru the rumor/gossip mill, then present what they heard as if you instead told them about it yourself.

I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever wanted to hit anyone. Hmmm.

I agree and in order to do that, the first suggestion would be looking for a weak spot. If hypothetically speaking, I was in a fight with a man it would be either below in privates with my sneakers or a punch straight in the temple or neck. If it's with another woman (esp. if she's bigger than 6ft), similar method would be applied.

If it's self-defense then the word ''hesitation'' ceases to exist and the fight is on (can careless if they're above 6 ft, I'll still knock them out).
