"I Just Snapped": These Rage Meltdowns Made Our Blood Run Cold
These people are mad as heck, and they're not going to take it anymore.
From rage blackouts to the knee-jerk responses we can't keep in, blinding anger seems to bubble up out of nowhere—and sometimes, we can't take back what we say or do in a moment of fury.
Read on for these chilling, hilarious, and always dramatic "I just snapped" moments.
1. Good Riddance
A (heading towards abusive) ex told me that he would leave me if I didn’t lose ten pounds in the two weeks before his friend’s wedding. He was blown away when I said “okay” and walked away.
2. The Worst Kind of Karma
My brother was in middle school, and he biked there every day. One day during a really bad fight, I totally lost my cool and told him that I hoped he got run over. I couldn't have known his dark fate. He was hit by a car that very morning and had to be revived 12 times that day. Nobody expected him to live. I've never gotten over what I said.
3. Is This a Dagger Which I See Before Me?
When I was about 15 years old, I got into a fight with my friend over something stupid. I went home and was shaking with rage. It was a full-on meltdown. I was stomping up and down the hallway, breathing through my teeth as hard as I could.
At one point, I went into the kitchen and got a knife. I then started talking to God, saying things like "PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR WHATEVER I DO TO HIM!" I was even scared of myself.
4. Til Torn Do Us Part
When my mom and I had a huge fight, I did something unforgivable. I tore the one picture from her wedding day of her and my dad. They are divorced, and it happened when I was a baby. She still has feelings for him and she always says that he is her one true love. There is no other picture of her with him except one.
She was so hurt and was crying because I did that. I was a teenager then and out of anger I just did it to spite her. Later on, I saw she had taped the picture back and she still has it...
which made me feel so guilty and felt so ashamed of my actions. So yeah, that was the worst thing ever.
