hello fellow ESTPs

Just figured out the other day that my new boyfriend is one. Really chill guy but stated that he's scary as hell when he's angry... which he probably shouldn't have said because now I'm curious

Now, I feel like this will be a difficult task, but what are some things which tend to piss ESTP's off to the point of snapping? Thanks.

Haha, my driving instructor is ESTP and it's very easy to piss him off. I just do one thing wrong and he's all yelly :D But, he can calm down very quickly too.

Consistently fail to use logic. Don't listen to reason. Commit to doing something then don't. Lie.

It takes a lot for me to get angry. I think that is more of an ESFP behavior.
I would say any kind of disloyalty or lying is at the top of the list. I also hate passive-aggressiveness. If I feel I am being made a fool by someone I will put them in their place.

I don't really get angry that often. I do however set people straight which might come off as if I'm angry at them when in reality, I'm just telling them that they crossed my line.

I don't like dishonesty, people who don't listen to what you have to say who're just waiting for their turn to speak, people who can't take things seriously when it is a time to be serious and as nj mentioned, passive-aggressiveness. I'll tell people off and if they don't listen, I'm simply not gonna waste my time on them. Being angry at someone takes effort and drains me of energy I could use to do something else.

^ what everyone said + parasites, but as someone said, it's not easy for me to lose my temper.

* Trying too hard not to "hurt their feelings", by withholding vital details.

* Acting like they're dumber and more incompetent than you (which is picked up on by your suggestions to "stay back while you deal with the problem instead", and cynical expressions when they try to talk deep).

Your boyfriend is in for a shock!

That's so true! I freakin hate it when that happens and I tend to get pretty angry.
I have a friend who does it all the time, and I know he doesn't do it on purpose, which frustrates me even more!

Heres an example:
Friend:I forgot something at ''Insert name here'''s house, I'll have to go get it
Me:Are you gonna do it tonight?
Friend:Do what?
Me: >:o What the ****?! I hate it, you always do that!

I can control my anger pretty well. Mostly my anger came from:

1. Jealousy (relationship) if the other half cross the line then I will get angry.
2. Being accused something I didn't do or didn't do wrong.
3. Betrayal.
4. Being lied to by a somebody close.

Other than these things, anger is a waste of energy and it damages your health. Not worth it.

As an ESTP we're known as the doers and I'm starting to appreciate this more. Today at work I was working on a project, that I had started,followed through and was in the middle of finishing. This one co-worker who thinks the organization would grind to a halt without him, decided to take my project away from me, and went about cleaning himself. Now I was raised under the cliche many hands make light work, and I understand the company doesn't care who does or share what, but he kept constently taking the instruments that I play with, like the water squege away from me so he's now directing the action, I'm just standing there looking like a dufus. And it's like 'you don't know what you are doing, I will do this.' And I hate that, because I have a vision of what I want done. I believe I'd be a manager in some weird universe.

The second thing that I hate, is I was at the checkout, and the guy ahead of me, the self checkout had him finished already to go, the money due on the screen, all he had to do was swipe his card, and so I'm all set ready to do something, and he plays with his blackberry/phone for at least 10 minutes,holding me up, making me wait, for something that clearly is avoidable, and then he decides to pay.

So, OP, if you want to flirt with your ESTPs anger, I would deny him doing something while he's in the process of doing it. See where it gets you.
