<strong>Anger management </strong>



It all started one day when I was sitting at my desk and remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it.

A man answered, saying, "Hello." I politely said, "This is Deuce. May I please speak with Robin Carter?" Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me.

I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude.

I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number.

After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an @$$hole!" and hung up.

I wrote his number down with the word '@$$hole' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer.

Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an @$$hole!" It always cheered me up.

When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic '@$$hole' calling would have to stop.

So, I called his number and said, Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're interested in the Caller ID program?"

He yelled, "NO!" and slammed the phone down.

I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an @$$hole!"



One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for.

I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first @$$hole, ( I had his number on speed dial ), I thought I had better call the BMW @$$hole, too.

I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?"

"Yes, it is."

"Can you tell me where I can see it?"

"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front."

"What's your name?" I asked.

"My name is Don Hansen," he said.

"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"

"I'm home every evening after five."

"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?"

"Yes?"

"Don, you're an @$$hole." Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too.



Now, when I had a problem, I had two @$$holes to call. But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be So, I came up with an idea.



I called @$$hole #1.

"Hello."

"You're an @$$hole!" (But I didn't hang up.)

"Are you still there?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Stop calling me," he screamed.

"Make me," I said.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Don Hansen."

"Yeah? Where do you live?"

"@$$hole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house, with my black Beamer parked in front."

He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers."

I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, @$$hole."



Then I called @$$hole #2.



"Hello?" he said.

"Hello, @$$hole," I said.

He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are!"

"You'll what?" I said.

"I'll kick your @$$," he exclaimed.

I answered, "Well, @$$hole, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."

Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 1802 West 34th Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.

Then I called Channel 4 News about the gang war going down on West 34th Street.

I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th street.

There I saw two @$$holes beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and a news crew.



I felt better. Anger management really works.

Do you all think of no_vas when you see marginalizing morons too?
 
[quote author="awgee" date=1245934308][quote author="SoCal78" date=1245909667]When they call at the dinner hour, it upsets me (I am very traditional and dinner hour is sacred family table time with my homecooked meals). So sometimes I ask if they can just hold on while we finish and to my surprise they often say okay. They are rarely there a half hour later when I get back. Calling during dinner hour is the epitome of telephone rudeness and irritates me almost as much as calling pre-or-post 9 a.m. / 9 p.m. per telephone etiquette.</blockquote>


We do not answer the phone while we are eating.</blockquote>


You do when they leave long, rambling messages and call repeatedly.

5-6 years ago, I picked up the house phone that I never used (damn roommate made us have one but I digress) to call a guy I was dating. I had incorrectly dialed the last digit of his # and when a lady answered, I looked down at the phone to see what # I dialed, and I realized my mistake. I politely apologized, said I had the wrong #, and hung up. The lady immediately called back and asked who I was trying to reach. I told her that I had dialed the wrong # and when she prodded further I told her it was none of her business who I was trying to reach and I hung up. She called back <em>again </em>and asked if I was trying to reach some guy's name (let's say John for our purposes here). I told her that I was not trying to reach John and that I was just one digit off when I dialed. So then she said that John's # was one digit off from her # and demanded to know who I was. At this point, I told the lady that she was f-ing crazy, that I didn't know who the f John was but with her crazy behavior, I understood why she thought he was cheating on her. I told her that I was hanging up and that if she called back again, I would dial various numbers one off from hers until I reached John and told him what a f-ing nut job she was. She never called back and my former roommate (not the lame one who forced us to have a house phone and thought that a dip comprised of Velveeta cheese and imitation crab was gourmet) and I still laugh about it today because she was sitting on the couch next to me when the exchange occurred.
