A lot of the calm people you meet are actually people who oftentimes repress their emotions (can be purposeful or accidental) so when the anger and rage eventually builds up to a tipping point, the resulting outburst might not only seem sudden but a lot stronger too
youre right tbh
I’m a generally calm person, but you are at 100% right I sometimes even surprise myself at how violent I really am when I’m alone. I try to be aware of it, but sometimes it does slip out really bad.
I’m always calm if I can be, but I have a few things where I won’t tolerate letdowns without proper reasoning. I don’t get mad at people who had no control, but if I find out you were just lazy? People tend to avoid me when that happens
It's same for me..I don't show anger that much..but I know some points which is triggering..if it's happen then done
Me, very rarely happens.
Oh trust me, when you curse a lot, it's more jarring when you don't and get eerily calm. It's just as scary as when a calm person starts cursing and yelling
Yup.
Unusual is scary
Yea
My mom used to say “as long as your dad is arguing back it’s fine. The moment he gets quiet, you better shut the hell up.”
I think I only pushed him that far when I was a child once or twice 😅
I can vouch for it. I am known for cursing like a sailor in my friend groups because I try to set a limit of how far things can go because they regard me as the mom friend and follow my lead. It is when I stay quiet and stop being a smartass that they realize they fucked up
Can confirm - I’m typically a more “loud” person. People tend to ask me if I’m okay when I get more quiet, as that’s common for me
For anyone wondering, a “Blue Falcon” is basically that kid that would remind the teacher to give the class homework over Xmas break, as an adult.
Or to simplify, a “buddy fucker”.
Basically, the shit kid who wants to ruin others' lives or time doing something that doesn't actually even prove worthwhile outside of school, hardly.
Thanks, I was wondering about that!
It's also a military slang term, it's a stand-in for the phrase "Buddy F*cker" since the Blue Falcon does whatever they can to ruin the day(s) of anyone from individual members of to his entire squad or platoon.

Story 12: It is indeed illegal under ADA to park next to the handicapped parking in the US. Other laws may apply in different countries.
I once worked for a store above an MMA gym that was in the basement of this little 3 store shopping center. One night the gym had every spot in the lot filled except for 2 car spots out in front of our still-open shop, whereas the other 2 stores had closed by then. Including the single, for the entire shopping center, marked accessible spot. The car had no handicap tag. I decided that I was finally angry at this, as it happened a few times before that night, so I called the non-emergency police number and reported the car. They came out and wrote a parking ticket before I closed up my store that evening. The kicker? Dude had a Fraternal Order of Police sticker on the back of his now-ticketed car. Bet that made his day!
The story might not be in the US but i see what you mean.
Saw a car parked like that just before Christmas in one of the parking garages here in Las Vegas, super super freaking busy. But they were leaving as I was looking for a spot so no idea if they got a ticket for it or anything.
I’m in Canada, the parking spots for handicapped are much wider and usually are all together… unless you park like an idiot close to the line as possible (for example my uncle in a wheelchair, the ramp that gets him into his van takes a few feet on one side, if you park too close he won’t be able to use his ramp and is just stuck waiting for said car to move) I’m unsure if it’s illegal to park next to a handicapped spot… which as the example I gave, I 100% understand why, I need to look up the laws out of curiosity (I always park away from them just because i don’t want to inconvenience them, like the BS that happens to my uncle… you don’t realize it until you do it, and then you feel like a total ignorant A hole)
They should paint bars in the lane next to it for space before continuing the parking lot to be honest.
Edit to add: I posted all this right before he got into detail 😅 I need to work on impulse… but to be fair, my uncles ramp is hydraulic and he still needs a couple feet to get in regardless… park next to him and he’s screwed. It’s really angering.
Interesting🤔 so that explains what happened in the story a bit better.
In my country it’s legal to park next to the handicapped spot, as the handicapped parking spot is made to be bigger than the normal ones so that the people who need it will have the space they need even with cars parked right next to their space
Not anger, but sadness. When I was a child, around 7 or so, my grandfather on my dad's side had passed away from COPD as he was an excessive smoker since he was a teen. My dad has always known to be a very calm person, but he would occasionally get irritated and aggressive when need-be. That Christmas, I wrote a letter to Santa Claus saying "I didn't want any presents, I just wanted my papaw back for one more year." When my dad read that note, he broke down in tears. He still keeps it in his bedside drawer to this day. Never have I once made my father cry like that again.
I'm guessing that's also how you learned that the one delivering presents on Xmas was actually your parents?
@@deinonychus1948 Actually no, he didn’t tell me about him crying until years later. I stopped believing in Santa at around 12.
@@stxrch1ld okay
Ok but that is the sweetest saddest story I've heard this year.
People that make life more difficult or complicated for people with disabilities are the worst people.
Yeah I've got autism (low side of the spectrum) and so many people are just a holes to me when they find out so ik how that feels lol
They r evil
Abso-fuking-lutely
No, those are the second worst people. P3dos are the actual worst people.
Completely agree
My dad told me this story: Some time in middle or early high school, my dad was outside during recess with his friend and a group of known bullies were harassing this guy I think was named Kevin? The kid was kind of a nerd, kind of a goth, had long hair and never really talked a lot, the prime target for bullies in the 90's. This one real mean guy was hitting him and calling him all sorts of homophobic names, and as my dad and his friend contemplated trying to intervene Kevin yelled; "DON'T YOU F*CKING TOUCH ME!" and put his hands up in a martial-arts style. My dad barely had the time to yell; "Yo he's about to Kung-Foo his ass!" before Kevin's whole body swiveled and he kicked the SHIT out of the main bully guy, totally floored him. Apparently quiet Kevin was an established black belt. An epic story that sounds straight out of a movie lmao.
kevin goated with the sauce ⁉️
Yea, that does sound like something straight out of a Karate Kid plot.
Lmaooooooo Bro I luv stories like these for reeeal. Especially when the supposed "Bully victim" could be the one bullying them! 😂
Brodie said "Dont U DARE FUCcing TOUCH ME!!" *TURNS INTO BRUCE LEE forna min* 🖐️😤🫴
I’ve got loads, but this one is on my brother. As the short, chubby, redhead kid in school, my brother got bullied. BAD. My brother was always told by our parents try to resolve situations calmly, but if all else fails, you know what to do. Now my brother was short and would have groups of bullies hold him down to beat on him and the school would always blame him and punish him saying that the bullies had “bad home lives”. After trying over and over to get the teachers help, my brother decided it was time. Four or five bullies were trying to attack him, but they seemed to forget that he was, indeed, a short redhead… He single handedly kicked their asses and sent them literally RUNNING. He was sent to the office and was terrified that our parents would be mad, but when my mom came in with fire in her eyes, first thing she said was “you are NOT in trouble” and tore into the principal. We’ve had to fight to build his confidence far into adulthood, but that moment certainly helped
I can relate to it. Bullies are actually quite weak when the bullied hit back.

As someone who had a very hot temper when I was younger (4 out of 6 on dad's side of the family are red haired and mine is strawberry), I got teased by a trio of boys who must have thought my upset reactions were the funniest thing. It went on for a while until I went the exact opposite way of your brother. I went ice cold. No reactions. No emotions. Just a dead, cold stare. The teasing stopped. I still don't know if that was because it was no longer fun or because I unnerved them. The cool demeanour stayed with me until around mid teens when I met my best friend. Was a bit hard to always be ice cold to everyone and everything (apart from home and family) when you start interacting with people who are nice. Did get to know though that there were people in my class who were scared of me. 😂I could still rip into someone on the rare occasion if they deserved it though.
Ralphie from A Christmas Story. That bully would have died if Mom hadn't shown up.
somehow quiet people are more frightening when angry just because of the calm fury they unleash if pissed.
I posted this elsewhere, but "Beware the wrath of a patient man."
Ever seen a dam give way?
Here’s a saying I heard
“When the Nice one gets angry, Even the Devil cowers in fear”
I would rewrite the phrase as "when the nice one gets angry even the devil needs to change his pants *if he wears any*"
I don’t like that saying (it doesn’t rhyme ☹️)
@@Legendary_Fard1247 FairPoint how would you rephrase it so that it actually does rhyme because you piqued my curiosity

Friendly reminder that one definition of "meekness" is "great power in restraint".

In the first story, the part about not swearing is absolutely true. It's also why you should always keep your word: it makes your threats carry just as much weight as your promises.
Nah, I disagree, well, partialy disagree, what he's describing is repression, anger is like a meter in a videogame it rises and you have to make it go down shouting and cursing is one of the most common ways of doing it, if you tell a person who curses or shouts a lot in anger to not do that you have to also tell them to find a different way of coping otherwise you're just telling them to repress their anger and that's not a good thing
I work retail and my manager is a pretty calm woman and I’ve only seen her mad once. We were short staffed that night and there was a lot to do. She was calling for one guy on the walkie to see what he was up to and he wasn’t responding. He eventually comes in the back and my manager gets pissed at him asking him where he was. He said he was on his 30 minute break but he was gone for over an hour. My manager told him she was looking for him and he was ignoring her. She said “we don’t have time for that s*** I want you to go home and I don’t want to see you here again.” That guy was fired on the spot and I haven’t seen my manager that mad since.
I had a manager who once tackled a shoplifter just before I arrived for work that morning after having a lot of theft from our RadioShack leading up to that day... But from then on, word got around, don't mess with Hector!
This is justified in a way ur manager is right never ignore ur boss if their looking for u thats just asking to get fired
I basically grew up in a restaurant and saw Karens, Kens and drunk people being & doing all sorts of horrible, mom just taking it, even turning it into a joke to de-escalate. When I was really young, I hated it, I couldn’t understand why she didn’t defend herself. But this one time she just lost it, completely, it’s branded with white-hot iron in my brain forever. Drunk dude was cut off, took offense and started to throw insults, but when he saw it didn’t have the desired effect, he spat on mom, loogie landing right on her boob. I swear it happened in slow-motion, the arching spit, mom’s face starting to turn scary, silence occupying this part of the restaurant, people with mouth agape around... He started to laugh, but mom grabbed the very back of his hair in her fist, stood him up from it, or rather jerked him up so fast his chair fell backwards, and walked him out like a naughty schoolboy! He was in pain, humiliated and teared up while yelling just “Aaaaaaaah”, all they way to the door. He was at least 30cm/foot taller than mom, but he looked like a kitten or puppy, handled from the scruff.. We didn’t see this semi-regular customer ever again. First & last time I saw mom put hands on anyone. Everyone has a limit, everyone - something to keep in mind.
@@karenbertke3149not possible. Not being rude, that's just reality and you can't stop people from using it on certain entitled people. However, I do feel bad for people who have the name Karen and are actually good people because the ones who act entitled get dubbed that name and make all people with the name Karen look bad. Just show your worth and don't let any insults or anything get to you.

I have a mama bear story
It was when my mom, my sister, my aunt, and I went to visit my great grandmother in the elderly home. We were in the parking space next to the home, when this man came speeding across it, almost running over my aunt in the process, but he could stop just in time not to hit her. My mom was livid. She went up to the drivers window and screamed at him in a rage I havent seen ever since. The driver was very glad when my mom finally let him drive off.
One Christmas had all the adults, even the quiet ones, screaming at the top of their lungs. Long story short one of the dads got a little drunk and started berating his teen daughter for "disrespecting" his girlfriend. To my knowledge she never said or did anything rude, just kinda kept her distance from her (the daughter also didn't live with the dad). Then suddenly the dad just swung on his daughter. She fell backward to avoid getting hit, and immediately started crying in fear. I've never seen a dozen adults jump up and rush a single guy like that in my life. Everyone from other dads to my grandma were on him. It was pure enraged chaos. I was also a teen at the time so I could only sit there in shock and awe.
bro tried to act up and they jumped him
good on your family man
imagine being such a dong even GRANDMA tries to jump you 😭
kudos to the people that stepped in.
W family they’re so real for that
A bit of a tame story, but the one that always pops into my head for this topic:
I work at a summer camp as a counselor, and the camp is a sleepaway so it has its own functioning kitchen, and kitchen staff. The kitchen staff work there year round, as do I, and there’s a guy in the kitchen who has been there as long as anyone can remember. He started when he was 16 and he’s nearly 50. The friendliest, calmest, nicest, most wholesome guy you will ever meet. Never met one person in my 14 years at this camp say anything bad about him. One random day in fall we have a field trip come to the camp, and they were completely unhinged. Me and my coworkers were trying to create order and run activities for them but they were just shouting and running around and not listening to anyone. Apparently they were like this in school as well according to the teachers. Regardless, it came time for them to eat dinner, as they were staying overnight in cabins, so we are all sitting in the dining hall and the kitchen staff member is trying to ask my boss if he’s ready for the kitchen to bring out the food, but my boss can’t hear him over the screaming and chaos. My boss tries multiple times to tell them over the mic to quiet down, to no avail. Finally, I hear an absolute roar from the front of the room, “BE QUIET!! LISTEN TO (boss)!! HOW DISRESPECTFUL!!” And miraculously, the whole room went completely silent. He looked around, nodded his head, and then as if nothing happened, looked at my boss and asked again if the kitchen can bring out the food. And on my life, those kids were quiet as mice the entire rest of the field trip. Still can’t believe to this day I actually saw him mad, sometimes I think I imagined it until other people verify it actually happened
My mother is 88 years old. Never in my life have I heard her raise her voice. When she gets mad, she uses the "mom" voice. Her eyes will narrow and she'll use this very calm low voice to let us know she is not happy, and if you value the skin on your behind, you'd better listen to her. My dad was the one that would yell, but I always wondered what it would take to make her go off. My brothers and I got into trouble on occasion when we were kids, and the "mom" voice was always enough to scare us.
I'm naturally quiet and don't curse a lot, so the few times I've blown up it's had people scared lol. I guess that's the perk of being quiet. Though the one and only time I truly lost my mind was out of fear more than anything (my tiny dog nearly died and I screamed at people like a banshee and almost got my brother arrested)
chad
Im very social and happy type around ppl. As well as calm.
Im a ENFJ
Anyhow, the few times ive exploded at family/friends/ppl...they went silent and looked shocked and scared.
Even my bff told me it looked like i was about to kill someone 😂 It was that day my bff now is even scared to make me mad. Yet i wouldn’t hurt anyone. I just hold back alot of truths until i get fed up with peoples negativity
This. I’m the type of person that when someone is being a jerk, I’m like, “oh they’re having a bad day. It’s fine.” I don’t ever curse, to the point I’ve injured myself and yelled, “Owie!” 😂
But a guy in a wheelchair once threatened to shoot my dog out of nowhere and I told him to “Just try motherf**ker” and everyone with me got scared. Everyone dragged me away because they were scared I’d flip the guy in the wheelchair over. (I had actually considered it so they saved his butt.) Everyone kept quoting me later on, which was really embarrassing, but I was glad they stopped with the worried looks.
@@Achineeeee00 does that still apply if I'm a woman? lol

2:40 I agree with you. There's something so oddly heartwarming about somebody caring about somebody else so much that they'll defend them without a second thought, especially if their actions manage to surprise themself.
"Hell hath no fury like a patient man"
“Was like watching a teddy bear turn into a grizzly bear in 3 minutes”
This….this right here is why you don’t push a calm person too far
“Watch out for the quiet ones”
-Knockout
Not a quiet person, but my dad was ALWAYS happy, cracking jokes, just wanted to put a smile on everyones face and get along. One day i was at work with him painting a house when i was about 10. There was a puppy hanging arouns and the electrician punted the poor thing.my dad beat him bloody, didnt snap, lose it. Calmly qalked over, beat him like a drum, and walked back over. All he said to me was "theres no good reason to treat animals like that, especially puppies". I love and miss my dad.
story 3 is sweet. My husband is the most chill, respectful, elegant and charming man I have ever met. But I know that if anyone would be a threat to me either verbally or physically, he would knock them TF out. He is super protective of me and hyper vigilant of his surroundings. I feel super safe with him by my side.
Didn’t see this but heard this from a classmate. In high school, the orchestra/ guitar teacher was the chillest, nicest and coolest person. Even if you didn’t have him, you knew him. He would get donuts after concerts and assessments for us while listening to the recording to see what we can improve on. It was easy to pass his class. When I was a freshman (2018-2019) we didn’t had a classroom and so we had to use the stage as our classroom, the stage is also where pictures would be taken. Now, this took place the day of our concert and so he spend a lot of time setting up chairs and the sound walls. You would think the people taking the photos would see this and ask if they can move it for their equipment but nope they took everything down and set up their stuff without informing my teacher. Now, he never raises his voice and would tell us to watch our language if we cursed and so when he saw the chairs and sound walls down he yelled at the photo people. I think it was retakes but don’t really know.
I had a manager, who left not to long ago😢, but his name was Sam. He was so chill, I was an introvert working in a social job and he always made sure I was okay and helped me out when I had an anxiety attack on like my first or second week there. But this one time, I think it was almost six months of working there, a new girl came and she acted like she had been there for YEARS, always seeming to target me the most. But it went on for weeks, my self-esteem and courage that I had gained while I was there had almost gotten worse than before I applied. She told me I did things wrong that I knew I was doing right, called me dumb, poked at my temper (which I'm glad I somehow never lost), and even body-shamed me once. And one night we were all closing the front line, me, Sam, and the other employee. I was doing my own part (just wrapping up some fresh food or whatever), and she told me that it was to be done another way, then proceeded to undo the plastic wrap and redo it a different way. But when Sam came up, he saw that same wrapped food and calmly told me that I shouldn't be done like that, I simply stated that the other employee had redone it and told me to do it that way. That other employee (who was nearby) came running towards me, her eyes looked like she wanted to attack me or something, but Sam stepped in the way, and other than the increasing volume of their yelling, I can't recall anything else, just rushing to the back of the place and sitting in the managers office, having what I think was a panic attack. Later Sam came back to me and asked if I was alright and if I wanted to head home early. Of course I said yes and he offered me to leave through the back door so I wouldn't have to pass the employee again. But I had NEVER seen him get so mad, and after that i only felt sadder when he left, i still don't think I've gained all that self-esteem back yet, it was almost a year ago now.
(Oh and that employee was fired, or they left, but either way, they're not working there anymore. Although she still comes in to get food, and I swear they know my shifts bc they come in almost every time I work, think I've been traumatized by that whole event)
i wish I could be like the second kid, he sounds absolutely badass ngl 💀
Part of me wonders if he was neurodivergent and highly masking. Sitting there calculating the consequences of punching a guy. Punch. Then go face the consequences. Feels neurodivergent to me, but I'd love to hear other perspectives.
I remember a friend in high school who was always calm and nice to everyone got pissed because a guy kept getting in his face and poking him. For the whole class, he stayed silent and didnt move. After class let out, he grabbed the guy in the hallway, lifted him over his head, and slammed him head first into the concrete. To this day, I dont know how that guy didn't die instantly. My friend wasnt even a big dude, never worked out or anything. Being angry literally gives you god like strength for like 10 seconds i guess.
as one who is described as the "quiet one", I tend to have very quick spikes in my anger/anxiety when it gets too much, usually from stuff that has nothing to do with me... most of the time my outbursts are a means of preventing other people from losing it... I can usually see other outbursts coming from a mile away
despite this and despite the fact that I'm coming up to 25 this year; I have never actually hit anyone in anger before... and tbh, it think it's because I think too hard about the consequences (I overthink literally everything in my life lol) even when said consequences might be non-existent or not worth worrying about
I’m a very calm, reserved, and stoic person. But still pleasant and friendly. I don’t think I’ve ever genuinely unleashed my anger out on someone, aside from when I was bullied in 4th grade. I just don’t wanna get angry, it feels…gross.
I'm 5 months late but I get this. Most of the time, I hate being angry. It just doesn't feel great.
I was so hoping that manager got more than a stern few words
honestly, these are a lot milder than i expected. As a calm person that did snap in the past, i know how explosive things can get.
I'm pretty passive at all times. Not like I would let someone take advantage of me passive, more like I just don't think most things are worth arguing about. I have no problem putting someone in their place when it's actually called for. My entire family knows me as the person that you just can not get a rise out of. I was a pretty violent teenager but I chilled way out after joining the army and I've been pretty chilled for the last 14 years or so.
Anyway, I got divorced about 6 years ago. My insane grandma, who is known to have a boiling temper and regularly slaps people in our family, decided that she was in a bad mood and got in my face and started saying some pretty wild things to me about my divorce. I've seen her get in the faces of a lot of my female family members right before she slaps them. I felt my teenage rage that I thought I had gotten rid of start to bubble up to the surface. I didn't even look at her. I stood there towering over her and stared at the wall right next to her and very calmly, loudly, and firmly announced: "I don't know what you think is about to happen, but if you put your hands on me, I will put your old ass straight through that fucking drywall." Not my proudest moment, but all 4 of my aunt's(her daughters) took my side thankfully. She acted so surprised and stunned like I was a monster. My aunts were like "Have you EVER seen anyone get a rise out of him?? Maybe you should examine the way YOU treat people, mom." Also thankfully she took that encounter and the discussions with my aunts seriously and made an effort to change her behavior. She is way more tolerable and even slightly enjoyable to be around now.
So yeah, spent many years laughing things off until I almost smacked the shit out of my grandma one time. Boy, I was gonna do that shit too. She had blown the lock off the demon's cage and it was running free in my head
Story 2 is unfortunately the only way to deal with a bully since most teachers/principals do nothing unless they catch the bully red handed. Which bullies tend to look out for so they're hardly ever caught. And they will keep pushing someone till that person snaps and lashes out.
Some people just need their shit re-aligned
The second story of the Dad standing up for his wife reminded me of that episode from Dexter’s Laboratory when Earl slammed the door in mom’s face. That one always got me amped up 😂😂😂. Something about someone standing up for the people they love.
I swear when the calm and nice guy breaks it is so terrifying it would devil CHILLS
Morel of the story: NEVER bully calm people
I've worked as a line cook on and off for 5 years, the chillest dude is usually me but there's definitely times where I've snapped, smashed a bunch of shit, walked off, and came back 5 minutes later like nothing happened. It's better to just get it all out immediately so you can keep doing your job and not have extra work before the end of your night
"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man." - Patrick Rothfuss
I believe that fits pretty well with these stories.
My mum is a very calm person under pressure but on a family vacation to Portland we were five minutes away from are hotel and with traffic and people she finally lost her cool and said I’ve f#cking had it ! we spent the next five minutes to the hotel in total silence 😆
The dad going hulk mode was right in what he did because of that the neighbor disrespected his wife, your friend's mom, and the dad was in protective mode at that moment. Parking in the yellow grid like that would be illegal so yeah the driver and the manager were wrong because the manager should have said something because the car was parked in the restaurant parking lot he managed at and the driver was wrong because he was illegally parked with where he was
As i was falling asleep last night to your videos i heard you say you were canadian and i was jolted awake as one does when you find another fellow canadian you enjoy. thanks for making videos for me to fall asleep to every night mystery man
Thank you for filling it instead of just leaving it quite!! Thank you so much!!
as someone who tends to bottle up my anger and frustration, i have a multitude of my own stories about this very topic, one of which happened literally like 4 days ago at work. ive lately been trying to find ways to vent out the frustrations when i get them or try to circumvent frustration later on down the road, but its hard when im dealing with people who will never want to change and never stop being frustrating to deal with, and its hard to not feel like a dick when i tell someone to stop instead of just letting them being annoying and irritating.
That yelling mom voice was spot on. Fantastic job
A story about my daughter, told to me by a teacher. My kid was labeled the good one. Cause she worked hard, listened, and did what she was told. 2 years ago she was in a math class, trying to do the lesson. The class was being loud, talking, ignoring the teacher, and just all around misbehaving. When suddenly my daughter slammed her book down stood up an shouted at the class "Hay you might not give a sh** about your future and are cool with being stupid for the rest of your lives, but I care about MINE so sit down and shut up NOW!' Which was so shocking for the rest of the school year the kids never talked in class again.
My mom’s not the type to keep calm when she’s being tolerant- she doesn’t put up with antics- rather, she’s calmest when she’s *pissed.* There have been few times I’ve feared leaving my room because there was the noise of one party, then a complete silence after. She’s dealt with a lot of stuff. It was most terrifying when she told me and my siblings to go outside when she was still married to a wifebeater, and there was just this *look* she had. I kept my siblings away from the house as long as possible, understanding that look was usually reserved for my bio father when he was stepping out of line. One she tried to hide. The house was silent the whole time. They divorced shortly after.
The calm ones are the most dangerous when angry
I am the calm person and I am THIS close to loosing it
My American History teacher is an easygoing, calm dude that doesn’t usually do much other than giving us our assignments and giving us the rest of the period to finish it. One time someone was not paying attention and making jokes during a notes lecture, and he shouted at them to “cut that shit out.” First time I heard a teacher swear on purpose and it shocked me in the moment
I love how we’re talking about calm people and the gunfire is raging in the video behind the text
I actually hate it that....
When a calm person loses it, people...instead of understanding that you must've probably done something wrong for them to act like this, most of the time they get arrogant and aggressive like it's wrong for a calm person to lose it. It annoys the hell outta me.
The calmest person I have ever seen. Even in life or death situations he is always calm. we was in class and we have been in the same class for 6 years straight. We wasn’t close friends tho. Then… without even saying a single word. Calm as a falling leaf. He stabbed me with a pencil in my thigh and started to scream in my face.. a couple minutes later after shouting, he became calmer than ever. And acted like nothing happened. He is now my best friend and we found out 2 years ago that he is actually a psychopath.
Never poke a sleeping bear. Beware of those who are provoked repeatedly and do not react. It is the seething volcano personality. But when they blow, people run and hide. The provoker usually does not provoke again. They should have learned this lesson when they were about 2 years old.
I will try and try to alleviate/change a situation, but the day I come in and am utterly calm and do not say anything is they day I quietly pack my things and do not return.
the Christmas one had me smilin' so wide
Every human is born with a set amount of F's to give... when you run out, *wild* things happen.
HIS DAD DID WHAT?! HOW DO YOU WITHSTAND THE PAIN OF PULLING A NAIL OUT OF YOUR KNEE?!!
One time, I saw the most polite & generous person knock out someone who was much taller & heavier than they were. They were being bullied around by groups of people for being too kind, I guess those people got what they wanted.
2000 years ago, a patient, loving, caring, forgiving man lost it. He chased a bunch of people with a stick. But people still don't get what he was trying to teach today. Shame.
im not really a calm person but im not an angry person, im very hyper, bubbly, generally positive. i was once told i scared the shit out of my friends when i watched a grown man at one of our only nice parks nearby throw his food from a food truck on the ground!! like face down!! and just walk tf away!! i yelled at the guy saying something to the effect of "see how easy it is" and "making a 14 yr old (i was at the time) do it" i threw his stuff away in the trash can not even like 2 feet away. my friends said they thought someone was yelling at us and when they turned around they saw me yelling, theyve just never heard my voice like that and i dont think they have since
The one where the grandfather became an alcoholic after quitting smoking hit me hard. If you pressure someone into abandoning a coping mechanism without addressing the root cause, they're going to find another. And it may be worse for everyone involved.
Moment of appreciation for this guy not using a soulless AI voice like a lot of other Reddit channels do and actually putting emotion and inflection into the reading-
I've got three stories I want to mention here, nothing very special but I like them. I am really quiet most of the time and have a very calm voice a lot of people "love" me for my voice.
(If the stories sounds weird it's abuse all the stuff said was in my native language German. That's also why my english may not be too good)
1. Back in my school days I made the classroom sh*t up once. Just screaming sh*t up already wtf is wrong with you.
2. I had my weekend of work but my boss wanted me to plow two fields. I told him I could work paid overtime on Saturday from 08:00 until 17:00. He said he needed me all day Saturday from 05:00-23:00 and the same on Sunday. I put a lot of pressure on my Voice and said, nah ain't going to happen. Can't describe how my voice was but this put an end to that conversation. Midday on Friday I told him I'm not going to show up any time on Saturday for that and that I knew he couldn't do anything against that.
3. We were hanging out in town with like 10 people and one Buddy had to go home. He didn't want to go alone so he asked around if anyone would go with him, no one wanted to. He asked for 10 straight.
I looked into his eyes and again calm but very serious I said. Bro you have a serious problem with not being able to take no for an answer. This is very annoying and should maybe just damn leave already. I just said bye and left after that. And later called me and said sorry for that. He has changed now.
You never mess with a working man's paycheck.
My closest brother in 9 years older than me. Mom and dad were gone and we were in the kitchen and he was fixing lunch for us. I don't remember what I did or said but it REALLY MADE HIM MAD. He chased me into the living room and as I ran up the stairs( no railing) he threw to sharp kitchen knives at me. Missed me and they stuck in the wall. I remember that I hoped they didn't see the holes in the wall when they got home, because WE would be in trouble.
The calm ones are the most tolerant, I know from experience. I can get annoyed, and I will eventually get mad, but it takes a bit.
I'm a calm person, I can say we are not calm at all. Yes, we talk less and make it appear we are good, but sometimes we just don't express our anger, sadness or other kind of emotions. So we end to explode with just a minimum thing that hit us in a bad and stressful moment.
Speaking for myself, one of this moment I was in secondary school and a friend of mine had sat on my chair, the place I always used to sit on. He wouldn't get out and he and the rest of my friends were laughing because how bad I was getting from only a chair. I just raged, punched his face and almost broke his nose.
I remember losing it on a few kids behind me in class who constantly disrupted the class goofed off disrespected the most wonderful teacher multiple times and they also kept snapping my bra straps and stuff I got ticked off after a few weeks of this now mind u I had a lot of years of hurt anger and sadness that kept spilling over but i snapped at them saying shut the fk up some of us are here to actually learn and for once in your lives open the book to the page ur asked pay attention and if not shut up sit there and be quiet I then proceeded to turn around to a stunned and shocked teacher and the rest of the class just staring at me I said I apologize sir I just cannot pay attention with my fave class with these kids constantly doing wat they do please continue ur lecture
I have only ever gotten angry once, I almost severely injured someone, thankfully an adult stopped me. Never again have I lost it, I will rather die than get angry. Injured meaning almost killed someone, sure something happened to me but now reflecting on it, it didn’t require such anger outburst, especially since this was when I was 12. Please be respectful of other humans, don’t hurt each other over petty things.
She said "SINGLE FILE!" haha yes mama!!!❤
I have the same philosophy as the first guy. I know when I am yelling at someone and cussing I have twice the emotional power than if I did it every day.
People are scared of the quiet kid snapping
the fact all it took was to raise his voice and say fuck to terrify everyone is a gem 0:40
sometimes being calm is bad ,I think it's better to divide anger than potentially railing someone , depends ofc
Well you can't expect anyone to take you seriously when you're always angry.
As 'the calm and quiet' person; I haven't seen one lose it, but I've darned well lost it a few times myself. So from that perspectve, I can say that I get annoyed or angry a whole lot more often than people actually tend tosee; I just like to pick my battles, and I like to try and talk things out with that person like adults first. So if you see me lose my temper, then you had best believe that has been bubbling up for a while, and it wasn't just that one incident that set me off. I'm usually a patient person (sometimes even to a fault, lol), but lord help you if choose to test that patience and it finally runs out.
Story 3: I agree with every word of UnderSparked's commentary at the end! Like, the fact that what made this super nice guy lose his s**t to THAT extent was someone being mean to his wife, just... 🥺
Me, senior year in High School. I was in the top 10% of my class in a huge (3,000+ student school), and actually had more than enough credits to graduate after junior year. I had credit for about a year of the core courses for my college already completed, but the AH school would NOT let me graduate because I did not have my last English credit (I had already tested out of two years of college English) and a QUARTER CREDIT for physical education(!) My mom had remarried, new stepfather and I were not getting along, most of my friends had graduated the year before, etc. etc. I was a simmering pressure cooker, and I wanted to be anywhere but there. I took an art class just to not have 6 study halls a day (top it off - closed campus - no leaving school early). The class bully saw me nearly finished with a detailed watercolor on my desk, and he walked past and tipped the water for my brushes over the drawing, ruining it. I was a skinny, bespectacled nerd girl, but I hit him with an uppercut to the jaw so hard he got lifted off his feet and fell backward atop the next row of desks. I gathered my books and headed for the office. No repercussions from the teacher or the bully or his buddies. I think he was ashamed a girl took him out.
3:44 excuse me? nearly missed the dish kid? So he did hit the dish kid? Damn poor dish kid😢

Me. I barely lost my temper back in the day, but in my last education, you would get around 80 euros a month from the government to do whatever with. I somehow got it in my head that if I failed this education, I would have to give all that money back to the government, RIGHT then and there, and I no longer had that money, cause I used it before I got that idea in my head. So I had a MASSIVE fear of getting bad grades.
I also was quite a quiet person with good grades and confidence when it counted.
One of the lessons we had to do for a certain class, was act out certain scenes and record it. The groups we were in were random. One girl in my group REFUSED to be filmed, she did NOT want to be on camera, at all. I thought that if we didn’t do what we needed to do, we were all gonna get a bad grade. I first tried to gently coax her, saying she had no choice, she kept refusing, and then I got mad.
This is a side of me no classmate of mine had seen yet, the most I would have done was give a rowdy student a glare from the back, after all. I grabbed the doorhandle while saying, LOUDLY “FINE! I will go to the teacher right now to have you removed from this group cause I WILL NOT let YOU be the reason of why I’ll get a bad grade!” and I swung the door open and marched out.
The teacher was already there and I called her over as the other people in the group tried to follow me, but the teacher was there sooner.
She got to talking with the student in a quiet corner of the hallway while I sat there in the classroom with a pissed off expression.
We managed to come to a compromise, she agreed to be filmed from the back only, which worked just fine cause she had a massive head of curls which hid her face perfectly fine from the sides, and that that footage would only go to the teacher and nowhere else.
All went fine in the end, jeesh.
Technically. When you say "calm down" you're asking for a reduction of the level of calm. Maybe we should start saying "calm up".
I'm extremely calmed but sometimes confrontative and explosive. Many guys through my school years thought I could be easily tamed or bullied. They were wrong and even though I never directly beat the crap out of 2 (only 1), no one tried to mess with me again. The thing is, that also worked for authority figures, as I said, I'm calmed so when someone insulted me and I said one thing back at them and the teacher called me out for it, I just trew a bench at the wall and went myself to the principals office telling her that I wasn't going to take that teacher bs, because I had had enough of the other guy and instead of the teacher calling him out, she targeted me for some reason.
Edit. Luckily I have not had to rage for the last 8 years, so I'm happy about that
My story is about myself. I never cuss, and I consider myself to be a extremely calm, level headed person, and the only times I have ever really blown up were when I was a kid, and never in my adult life. I work on a crew building bridges, and everyone knows me and how calm I am. About five years into the job, we were getting ready to leave a job, and everyone but me and the supervisor had already left. We had loaded everything on to the supervisors truck, except one three inch pump. Now, that pump weighs 180lbs empty, and this one still had some water in it. So me and the supervisor decided to load the pump in my truck, because his didn't have room, and as we are about to sit it on the tailgate, my hand slips, and the pump falls several feet, and directly onto my foot. Now, I was already in a bad mood, because I hadn't just had one of those days, I'd had one of those months, where everything seemed like it was out to get me. So anyways, I yelled "FUCK THIS PUMP!" picked it back up by myself, slung it all the way to the front of the truck bed, so hard it dented the front of the bed, I then slamed the tailgate, got in the truck, slammed the door so hard that the door panel fell off, and drove away. I apologized to my supervisor the next day, and I haven't blown up again in the five years since then.
the only time I have ever known a woman to throw a knife was an ex's aunt, she was pregnant with triplets & it was her first pregnancy. she threw the knife into the wall, it stuck btw, then broke down sobbing. the only time I ever saw her really mad though was when her acoholic husband started drinking again, he wasn't mean or anything bad. she came in the livingroom, saw all the bottles and yelled at him, he cussed back at her threw a bottle at a wall and she turned several shades of red. she grabbed him by the neck and slammed him into the glass coffee table. after that she picked the glass out of his back and about 4 months later she was pregnant again. nothing like that ever happened again and obviously they made up.
i was the person who made this so called calm person lose it. everyone blamed me and made me the bad guy.
truth is, i did not incite anger nor did i harass them.
it was the accumulation of this person coercing me to do something, me rejecting it and getting ignored and dismissed over and over. too many times.
turns out, they werent such a nice, kind or calm person. in fact, i found out years later that they were prone to violence and racism.
they just didnt like that i rejected to do their bidding. except that last time it was in front of everyone.
people like that are great at manipulating a crowd.
This kind of people are like Volcanoes ; most of the time they are peaceful at the point you don't even mind them anymore but when they lose it they explode like the Krakatoa and you don't want to be on their path when that happens.
I know it because I was like that when I was younger.
Well, I actually fall into the category calm person and always keep their thoughts to themselves until one day my emotions exploded and ended up almost making my sister disabled, at that time I realized how unhealthy it was. Since then I usually always use a punching bag and sports to let out all my excessive emotions
I met a long lost childhood friend at middle school, we were both teenagers when we met again. The dude was always a very nice guy. Looked like prince charming. One day, I left class and saw him beating the living crap out of another guy in front of our school. His face was red, eyes wide open and bloodshot and he was growling "I've never ratted anyone out, you motherf*cker" and he kept kicking the guy on the ground. The guy being brutalized just picked himself up and ran away in fear. I approached this friend and asked what was going on. His twisted face went back to normal in an instant and he said in a calm and friendly voice "He was lying about me to some people". I was terrified.
In story four, the same thing happened to my fifth grade teacher, the nicest ever, helped with tests and reviewed many questions and was the best overall but this one girl pissed him off so much and he just lost it and yelled so hard, we were all shocked but the next day he brought donuts and apologized for the commotion
extra story: i once had a friend who almost never talked in class and would sometimes get verbally bullied then i stepped in to stop the bullies and then everything went back to normal but on a certain day i was absent and he texted me that he was bullied the whole time i was home. I went to school when it had ended and found him in class picking up his belongings so i suggested to go have Mc D to calm down but that was the worst decision i had made that day. The bullies were at Mc D's and upon arrival the bullies pulled us to the restroom and tried to make us drink toilet water. My friends face went dark then he proceeded to gut kick the first bully and face-plant him into the toilet, the other bullies ran away and the first bully passed out sipping toilet water. I have never seen him so angry before and after that we went to order some food then it was as if nothing happened at all. (bully was found and luckily did not drown in toilet water)
I was that calm person and when i lost it i punched a friend so hard,almost got a concussion, we cool now
When everyone knows your calm and quiet and don't make a lot of complaints and get mad, when you do raise your voice and get pissed off, people take it a lot more seriously as well :)
Story 4 gave me flashbacks, I was that quiet kid who yelled shut up 😅. My last year of choir was one of the worsts though.
I was actually the calm person...so I was on the school bus heading home in spring I wanna say, preschoolers to seniors in high school were on there. I was listening to music as I normally do and we're dropping off someone 2 grades lower than me, her road is one of those gravel roads...and our bus got stuck in the mud beside the house. The kids were yelling and screaming "We're gonna die!" and things of the sort. This went on for a solid 10 minutes. I could hear them all as if they were the ones in my headphones and couldn't actually hear the music I was playing...even at full blast. I shouldn't have done this because there were so many kids on there but I just shouted at everyone to shut up and that if I could hear all of them they're yelling far too loud. Everyone was silent for a solid minute, then it went slowly right back to how it was before. We didnt get out until another 10 minutes. I feel bad for doing it today, obviously, and wish I hadn't done it.
Story 8: That's what you call an "abuser"
Here's my story lol. Im a really calm, quiet, and socially awkard guy, this story is from when i was 12, i was in school and everyone knew i didnt talk much, i knew everyone in my class but was close only to 3 or 4, anyways one of my friends one day was WAY too annoying, he would push me, talk to me but like he would say ANYTHING that didnt make sense, at first i didnt care much, i thought he would stop after a while, specially since the teacher didnt come that day, then 3 hours after the day started, while our recess, he was still annoying so i told him, "dude chill out im starting to get mad, please stop" and guess what... HE DIDNT, my best friend would look at my stare, and he knew i was mad, he hadnt seen me that mad ever, i remember looking straight ahead while sitting, i couldnt think thanks to my friends stupid behaviour, i kept telling him to stop or i would take action, he didnt care, so after aprox 6 hours straight of him being annoying i got tired and just grabbed my english book and threw it to his face, he was sitting accros me, like 3ft, the book hit him right in the nose bone, i saw him laugh and then started crying, i was in shock because ive never done something like that, but i felt a huge relief. BUT i hated my classmate because he came to my friend and was like "damn i wouldve told the teacher" BRO SHUT UP YOU ARE STUPID AND ANNOYING SO SHUT UP, i got mad but didnt do anything, anyways next day my "friend" who got facebooked actually didnt tell on me, until a dumbass girl in my class told the teacher, the teacher actually ended up on my side and told everyone in the class that just because i was quiet they shouldnt pick on me, that it didnt mean i wouldnt do anything, so i literally was my teachers favorite and from that day forward my "friend" didnt mess with me. All it took was facebook
I'm glad Channels like this exist I'm not talking about the AI generated ones but ones were there Are real people real people Talking after each story Don't get me wrong I still like to watch the AI generated ones too They get you hooked But I just love these better knowing it's a real person
