When you overreact to something, but only because your background anger has been building for weeks.
I'm sorry I flipped out over something so small. My background anger over the price of gas and food, my boss, and the holidays has me on edge.

Get the background angermug. When you get so angry at something, you can't form words strong enough to describe it, so you just end up vibrating your hands/body in absolute rage. Common causes of subtitle anger include other people's hypocrisy and ignorance.
"When that guy said "You're not special for reading the Great Gatsby, we all went to high school." and then when someone quoted a line from it to him, he said "I haven't read the book.".. I suffered from subtitle anger.

Get the St. Angermug. Something that boils in my blood until you see the tiger come out. I hate the English language and what it's become! Some words aren't so pretty! Whatever, I'm allowed to use whatever language I want. Let me speak your damn language. Fuck shit damn Tourettes?

Get the Angermug. (1.) The easiest negative emotion to channel into productivity.
While depression is like a static pond that sinks into the earth and grows mold, anger is like boating down rapids. The ride can be a bit bumpy, (perilous even, if it turns to rage) but you’ve got enough power in that water current…you’ll sure as shit get somewhere.
The trick is being able to paddle (channel your anger), otherwise that energy will take you somewhere quick you don’t want to go, (like a rapid that pushes you overboard and makes you hit your head on a rock).
(2.) The expectation that something in this world should be better than it currently is, and someone else is responsible for why it’s not.
(3.) When hope makes a peace treaty with other negative emotions (such as grief, fear, despair, shame), by assigning them two targets…something or someone to blame, and something to do about it. (The something to do about it doesn’t have to be direct (such as plotting revenge). It can also involve self-actualization or the betterment of oneself /others).

I'd rather deal with anger than depression or sadness any day of the week. Contrary to the suffering artist myth, most manifestations of suffering do not yield productivity.

Get the Angermug. Angers is not a very popular last name, but if your an Angers, your very lucky. If your an Angers, you're very athletic, kind, compassionate and funny. You can be very dumb, but you're always there for your friends when they need you.
