Anger is a basic human emotion. Everyone experiences it in varying degrees, as there is always at least one thing that makes us tick. What matters more is how we deal with the situation once we feel our ears getting hot and our blood pressure rising.
One of the ways people express their outrage and exasperation is by posting online. That’s where communities like the Extremely Infuriating subreddit are for: to provide an outlet where the enraged can let off some steam.
Here are some of the posts from the page that drew the most ire, and you will see why as you scroll through.

For one, our inherent negative biases make us gravitate towards online toxicity. It’s why a single disparaging comment stands out among thousands of praises, and it’s why news reports always begin with bad news, according to cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Christian Jarrett.

People may be fully aware that rage-bait content is intended to provoke them, yet they continue to consume it. According to University of Virginia psychology professor Bethany Teachman, it’s because anger compels us to take action and defend ourselves, which is rooted in evolutionary survival mechanisms.
“Feeling anger compels us to approach the anger trigger (in contrast to emotions like anxiety and sadness that make us want to withdraw or avoid), so we are often “baited” by rage bait,” Teachman said.

Being angry is exhausting. It drains you both physically and mentally. Having a lack of control can also put you in troublesome situations. This is where the importance of channeling that anger comes in.
According to clinical psychologist Leigh W. Jerome, it means responding to the emotion in a “reflective, regulated, and respectful” way.

Jerome shared practical tips for channeling anger, including taking a time-out to process rage, taking a short walk, or stepping into a quiet space for deep breathing. She also advises noticing impulses and naming anger triggers.
“Your feelings are valid. You are only accountable for your actions and the consequences of your response,” she stated.

My Friend’s Building Told Her They Needed To Look For Damaged Pipes Under Her Floor. She Came Home To This
43Duckies 1 hour ago
What on earth was she expecting when they said "look for damaged pipes under the floor" in a basement level apartment? "Under the floor" means RIPPING UP THE FLOOR, which was going to put the kitchen out of commission for multiple days at minimum; and if it's in a basement, there's a good chance it means digging. (My landlords had to use a mini-jackhammer to break up the concrete slab while trying to find the source of a leak in my basement apartment bathroom. It took a week to address the issue and replace the floor and fixtures, which is pretty fast if you think about it. Luckily they had a bathroom down the hall that I could use, but it sucked having to leave the apartment in my bathrobe at night.)
