Man, I just lost my temper there really badly and am still shaking and now I have a headache. We've had thos loan company call us like 5 times looking for someone with the same name as my wife. She gave them all her info proving that she is not who they are looking for and today their legal department called looking for her again....I went absolutely ballistic!! I am actually ashamed at my own language which doesn't usually bother me (didn't help that the guy on the other end basically accused me of lying)....you ever lose control like that? I don't do it often but when it happens....look out.

OMG yea..It takes a lot these days to set me off but when I DO get set off I have a very wild temper...It USE to be that it was nothign for me to become completely enraged ("see red") and violent but now that I'm on my anti-d meds and whatnot it REALLY does take a lot for me to get to that point....

i don't get out of control very often... but yes, i did once in a while when i am really tired or in a low mood and then people just trying my temper... then i will totally lose it... anyway, as i get older, i think i become wiser and wiser and i try to think first before i get angry...

Hi inkedfor life! I think your experience with that loan company is completely understandable if you lost your temper or went ballistic. I would feel the same if people insist on telling me that I did this thing when I have already shown evidence or proof that I didn't. As for me, I did lose control sevral times over the years because of some things that I have been blamed for that I never did and one instance when an acquaintance started a nasty rumor about me which is really entire untrue. That really made me so mad! I hope that issue with that loan company has been resolved already or will be resolved soon. Take care and have a nice day!

I seldom loose temper. But when I do, I do it in a bad way. When I am through I feel all foolish about it.

Yes every since i was diagnosed with PTSD. You have to have self control. Learning to control my emotions is a challenge, but in the long run it works out for the better. Your family needs you to lead by example. The beauty of telephone is you can just hang up..

I think our problems really begin when we start to believe that we are in control. ...of anything! ...ever! ... of course I'm only referring to us men here.

Not really - but on the other hand, I've never been accused of lying. How very frustrating. I think in the States, there are supposed to be laws that protect you against these people calling you.

Oh yeah buddy...my 'red-headed Irish temper' has been known to rear its ugly head on more than one occassion! I know exactly what you mean about shaking afterward and the headache. Isn't it a shame that sometimes that type of language and temper are all that will 'reach' some people?

What Aaron's Did to My Fridge - This is only part of the damage.
I have had this happen to me alot latly. My husband and I are buying a refrigerator from Aarons Sales and Lease. All has been well for 9 months. We had to move and I called Aarons to have them come and move the monster 26 cubic in side by side my husband HAD to have. They came out and moved it but left horrible scratches on both sides and on the TOP! I have been trying to contact them about this since the day after they moved it. They did not see fit to return my calls until the payment was LATE (THREE weeks after my first call)! Finally after tons of calls and alot of talking I have gotten them to agree to take $300 off the price but they want to charge me a late fee. Why should I have to pay a late fee when they wouldn't call me back until the payment was late? Grrrr!!!! This is only one example of the s**t have had to deal with lately. Look at the picture below that is only the bottom left side, there are tons more scratches! I don't think I should have to pay the aprox $1,650 that it will cost for the total agreement to be paid in full, I have already paid out over $1,000!

Oh yes, I've gone ballistic more than once in my life! I've got the scars to prove it too. I used to have a terrible temper and would punch any available inanimate object. Loan companies are the worst. I've had a few run ins with student loan providers who couldn't get their act together and accused me of not paying when I'd sent them a payment the previous week, and yes they called me a liar also. I sure hope you can get this worked out. You may need to get a lawyer of your own to stop it though.

Once i can't control myself. i went to my ex-boyfriend's house when the new year is coming. his mom doesn't like me so she let me go home to celebrate new year with my parents, but i love my ex-boyfriend very much and i can't leave him. so i let him to make a decision, at last, he send me to the station. i feel very sad, and cry for about 2 hours, then i go back to his house when the train stop in the first station. when i reach his house, itis too dark. he feels very unhappy when he opens the door, then i know i will leave him.
