HOW TO RELEASE YOUR BOTTLED UP ANGER CAUSED BY PENT UP FRUSTRATION

HOW TO RELEASE YOUR BOTTLED UP ANGER CAUSED BY PENT UP FRUSTRATION

Musing

By

VIKRAM KARVE

I once had a terrible boss. 

Every morning, he used to reach office in a foul mood and start shouting at everyone which would spoil our mood and vitiate the office atmosphere for the entire day.

One day I complained to the Big Boss and told him that I did not want to serve under this individual and asked for a transfer out of the department.

The Big Boss told me that my Boss had a very unhappy family life, which caused a lot of pent up frustration and anger within him. 

Hence he took out all his bottled up anger on us the moment he reached office.

He told me ignore the ranting of my boss and offered me this rational explanation:

“People who are unhappy at home vent out their frustrations in office at their subordinates

and 

Those individuals who are unhappy in office and frustrated at work, go home and release their pent up anger and take it out on their families.”

I looked at the Big Boss and asked him, tongue-in-cheek:

“And what about those people who are unhappy at work and also unhappy at home?” 

“I don’t know,” he said.

So I said to the big boss, “I’ll tell you,” and this is what I told him:

“People who are frustrated at work and also have an unhappy family life - they take out their frustrations and vent out their pent up anger while commuting to work and back home - to and fro. 

These are the road-rage types who are always on a short-fuse and holler at the slightest instance at their fellow travellers in the traffic and even at their vehicles.”

So now, Dear Reader, you know the reason for Road Rage.

If you see someone loosing their cool while driving to work and back please sympathize with these road rage types - they have an unhappy family life and also a frustrated work life - poor things!
