How many times did you count to 10 and nothing happened?

How many times have you been angry at someone,
but you did not want to start a fight with him,
so you counted up to 10 to calm down,
but nothing happened?
I always try to avoid a quarrel and to try to solve it diplomatically or creatively to calm things down,
But it does not always work out for me.
How do you deal with such a situation?

I've never really been a "count to 10" type of person... too much steam can build up in those ten seconds. :-) Seriously, though, I either deal with things immediately or leave the situation until I *can* deal with it rationally.... no counting needed,

@gilggg No, it's not the same... I'm saying i don't stick around long enough to count to 10. :-)

When I'm angry like that after counting to 5, I pray about the situation.

@gilggg Yeah I wish something would work but nothing unless I leave the scene away from the fight.
