INFPs - Does certain little stuff make you rage?

**Traigo** · 03-10-2010 12:40 AM

I'm mostly a really calm and accepting person, and I don't often get angry or upset about things. But every now and then, some random little thing sends me into an (internal) flying rage. Here's a short list of stuff that does that.

1. Bullies (they really make me want to release the Cracken, if you know what I mean)
2. When I get a curly fry that's really curly, but then is uncooked in the middle
3. When the vending machine gives me the wrong soda
4. Spilling hot sauce (only hot sauce; spilling other stuff doesn't piss me off)
5. Dropping ice cream (in cones; I really feel like crying when this happens)
6. Feeling like I've missed an opportunity to help someone close to me
7. When people ask you for your advice or comfort, then get mad at your for trying to give it
8. Realizing I've been driving with the parking brake on (this raging usually follows a period of terror where the regular brake failed to work and I had to investigate why)
9. When my iPod freezes mid-song (I hate having to walk without listening to music. It acts as a soundtrack to my thoughts)
10. Air turbulence (it terrifies me and pisses me off at the same time; I mean, why can't the thing just fly straight?)
11. Air turbulence
12. Air turbulence
13. Air turbulence

What about you guys? Do you have random stuff that makes you tick?

Internet problems. There are other things, but their rage-level is leagues away from this one. I have fantasies about one day taking my router and ripping it apart with my bare hands.

Haha I know what you mean. Internet Explorer is going ridiculously slowly on all my computers for some reason. Heil Firefox.

I rage really hard on lots of little things, but big things tend to not worry me. Losing my keys is a big one, as is running late (even though both are in my nature and happen ALL the time).

I rage when something simple and routine is made a difficult and long process by either beurocratic BS, incompetence or (and ESPECIALLY) misinformation.
Ooooh, that'll get me really angry.

Strangely, if I KNOW something will be difficult -- I have all the patience in the world...

Just, prepare me people!

If I bump my toe into something and it hurts, then I usually instantly hit something hard while cursing..so then I have pain in my toe and my hand

Also interacting with welfare offices or other hardcore bureaucrats usually drive me into a brink of murderous rage!

Disorganization
Messy Room
People that talk loudly in libraries
People that piss me off on purpose
Tools
Disregard for nature

The thing that has gotten me raging the most lately is when I die to stupid things in Borderlands. Over and over. >.>

Oh wow, the most silly things make me rage.
If I (not other people) don't do something to the upmost perfection
But ignorant people bring out a really bad angry version of me

You'know people who dont care about the most beautiful things...

Having to do things with no point or meaning gets me ragey too

People who make incessant little clicks with their tongue, or PEOPLE WHO ARE NOISY EATERS. The type of people who manage to make a bowl of pea sound sound like a three course meal.
Or people who have a sort of sweaty/sweet/cigarette/alcohol smell to them. It makes my head ache.
Or when I'm playing guitar/piano and for the hundredth time I get something crashingly wrong.
Or when I put my hand on the table and the table is wet.
I also find it horribly difficult to ignore little sounds in the background. Sometimes when I daydream I am in a foggy world, but usually it drives me insane and I can't tune anything out. I have a loud old fashioned ticking windup clock which I use to get to sleep.
Being interrupted during things, but I imagine this would infuriate anyone, you cannot take the regularity of inspiration for certain!

It used to be foreign accents- because my parents had two very thick ones and I was very concerned about not being Normal for a long time. I would correct them on every little thing and put on a heavy Yorkshire accent to make sure that no one would accuse me of being weird, and fly into a temper whenever my mum said "cook" and "book" (cooook, booook). But they found good enough reasons other than that, anyway, and I grew up and it doesn't bother me anymore.
