Psst….. I’ll tell you a secret.
I have a bad temper. You know the saying “I’m going to go postal on your a#%! Well I coined another. “You think going postal is bad? What till I go HISPANIC on your ass.” (my apologies if I offended anyone, my daughter was here and refused to let me censor the language…lol) My daughter was present and adamantly insisted I put this on my xanga. Since it fits my day, I thought I would comply.
Needless to say — I am ready to go HISPANIC on someone. Specifically, my daughter’s orthodontist. Without a lot of the boring details let’s just settle with the fact that he is a demeaning, smug, condesending, superior, and flat our rude butt munch. I’m composing a suitable chastising letter, which I plan to forward to the BBB as well. My hubby was shocked that I had held my tongue and not gone off on the jerk.
Two reasons for this:First: he didn’t let me get in a word (I’m not kidding every time I opened my mouth and started to say something he started going “no,no,no,no,no,no…that’s not what happened”, without ever hearing a word I TRIED to say.)
Second: I have struggled most of my adult life to get control of my temper – to show discipline and control. I’m not going to let some smug, superior jerk of orthodontist take that away.
You ever been so mad you literally saw red? When I get that mad – I tend to cry. People think I’m upset, but really I’m just totally pissed off. I hate it! I feel weak and people look at me with sympathy and I just want to rip someone’s eyebrows out! As you might have guessed, it was an upsetting day. I’m over it now, but will write that letter! Took the kids to RE did some shopping at Borders Express and the girls and I got some Cold Stone Creamery — That helped!!
Have you ever been that mad?

Yes, I have been that mad. Once I was so mad at a doc in the hospital who I was sure was trying to kill the patient I asked him to step outside.. lol
new emoticons. very nice. i approve.:dancingcow:
annyways.
going hispanic on people is awesome.:celebrate:
in a not-so-awesome sort of way:hammer:
^-^:wink-wink:
i remember giving the nurse in the hospital the finger after my son was born, i was so pissed at her!:steamed:
somehow cold stone creamery always seems to calm me down too :dancingcow:
I’ve been that mad and I tend to “cry” just like you said. I hate it!
We are more alike than I realized, LOL! And yup, BTDT, but it was on Weds.night, and in my case, I went German-Irish, ROFL!
I tend to cry too. I hate people that don’t let you get a word in.
When I get that angry, my left eye twitches. Everyone that knows me just backs off. I too will cry if I am sooooooo pissed that there is nothing else to do but cry. Butt Munch. I love that phrase. It’s one of my favs. I am sorry he is such a jerk. I often wonder if he (those) type would speak differently to the hubby. It stinks that men are still in such an archaic frame of mind. I would definitely write that letter. My gma was a big letter writer. Writing to everyone about anything she didn’t think was fair. Have a great day
Oh yeah, I hate that I start to cry. I too have struggled to learn to let it go and not find myself in a fit of rage. When I was younger I think I really frightened some people and of course, my family will not let me forget it. I have mellowed a lot so that things done to me don’t get me so much as things done to those I care about. I would probably be in jail if someone did something to my neice or nephews! Someplace there is that balance that we seek…….
Being Hispanic, and knowing exactly what you mean, yeah, I have been THAT mad on many of occasions, sadly I do not have the dicipline you have, I just allow myself to explode and let the steam out of my ears!….LOL My kids know exactly the kind of stuff that sets me off, so when they see it i sgoing to happen they normally take a couple of steps back and whisper “she’s going to blow”….and Blow I do…..it has become common place now, the kids sort of think about me like the Hulk, when they notice that someone is being rude to me, they will try some damage control and go up to that person and say “You really don’t want to get her mad, you honestly wouldn’t like it if she gets mad”….that is normally at about the time my skin starts turning green….
That’s what I do when I get mad! Oh, it’s just awful. People see it as a sign of weakness.
I never used to have a temper at all, but surprisingly the temper found me as I got older – and let anyone be perceived as messing with my child in any way, and they are in SO much trouble!
Can you switch orthodontists? We were lucky with daughter’s but many of her friends had a lot of trouble with theirs – they had to have their teeth redone!
It was so cool to see you on Twilight Ladies! I’m so glad you liked the books! Twilight Ladies is a fun site, isn’t it?
I cry when I’m really mad too. I mean buckets. I hate that I do that but I can’t help it. I would have been ticked off at that guy too. I cannot STAND to be treated like that. Kudos to you for not beating him down right there!
I get so mad that I tend to cry, as well. Unfortunately most people see it as a sign of weakness. They think I am feeling overwhelmed and want to be pitied. What they don’t seem to get is that I want to totally annihilate their ass!
Oh boy I can relate. Yes I cry when I get mad then that makes me madder because I feel weak. Then I cry more and end up running my mouth too much!
Haha—that’s great! Frankly, I can take an angry male much easier than a mad female! Don’t feel bad, but y’all don’t fight fair!

AND…there is nothing as mad as a mad MOTHER!!! :frog:
You would think he would know that! Post the letter! Iogtta see it!
xo, QE
I too struggle with my temper. I am more patient than I used to be. Congratulations on not assaulting the dumb jerk. I have been in situations where I just have to walk away because I know I will end up in jail for assault if I don’t. Most people don’t know this about me. I try to keep the inner deamon under wraps. I quit a job once because I was truly -on the verge of committing a hate crime against my gay, woman-hating boss. I would have dreams about it. It’s always better to walk away, so says my husband the cop. Honestly, it would feel good to just let loose. Too bad there are laws against it!
Rant away baby…………..hugs…….lol:hammer::hammer:
My girls had a denist like that. We were cover 100% But we work at the same place. He wanted me to pay half of the bill. I told him to kiss off :hammer: The kids got to go with his partner. He was nice. I never pay the half.
When I get so mad that I cry (yes, I’m afflicted with the same mortifying condition) I tell people that it’s just the excess rage boiling over and pouring out my head. A body has to protect itself from spontaneous combustion dontcha know! :steamed:
Oh yeah, I’ve been that mad. Sorry about your bad day.
I should really join that blogring, but then I have to give one up.
I cry when I’m pissed too.
I can understand being that mad. Sometimes it just gets the better of you.
STOP.
hammertime. :hammer:
You” never guess what scene poped into my head when I read “,,,,go HISPANIC on your ass.” Rosie Perez ripping Woody Harelson a new one in ‘White Men Can’t Jump.’ :ROTFL:
I have made progress in curbing my temper. It helps that I no longer work in an environment where I was pissed off just having to drive there. haha. For some reason, I have calmed down over the years…but yes, I have been known to go off on people. Unfortunately, my temper has made others cry; I have never been one to cry while mad.
:hammer:
Orthodontists are like that!!!
Oh, honey! What a time you’re having of it! Sending loads of hugs across the water!
Huuuuuuggggggssss and :love:, Susan <><
PS You’ve just described me too a tee in a temper! :blushing:
That’s funny….when I get that mad I always say I’m gonna go ghetto on your ass! Being that I’m from Cleveland and all, lol. I too have a temper. It doesnt get set-ff easily but when it does watch out. I have a serious problem with holding my toungue. I feel like I just HAVE to say something. It’s like I cant control it. And, I actually cry when I get really mad too. Another thing I cant seem to control.
:hammer: Oh yeah, been so mad that I cry, i guess its a physicaly outlet to the emotions, Lol and come to think of it I have been crying alot lately, wonder if its anger or sadness from the tears. Actually my daughter had me so angry tonight i cried, kids, they can push your buttons.!
I have a horrible temper…must be the Irish/Italian mix
)
When I’m furious I have a tendency to start shaking and then crying. I figure crying is better than throwing things or trying to strangle someone. :hammer:
Ice cream as a way of helping so many problems. :dancingcow:
It lo0oks like you hit a familiar nerve with a lot of us. When I get THAT angry, I can’t open my mouth but I can cry. I think there has to be some kind of emotional release and being the kind of person who doesn’t not scream and shout when angered, I respond by crying.
I think it’s time you find a new orthodontist, and let him know why you left.
