3.The cashier at the ice cream store gives you the wrong ice cream and is refusing to give you the right one.

4. One of your acquaintences(spelling?) calls you by your twin sister's name.

5.While waiting in line at the post office, a guy pushes you and rudely forgets to say sorry.

Maybe I'm strange, but most of those situations would make me sad, not really angry.

Mysty Eyes · 12-06-2004, 05:19 PM

Hmm... tough to say on many of these.

But first... Since I live in earthquake country, I just have to comment. Please take no offense; only constructive criticism meant here.

Richter Scale: This measures seismic activity, or earthquakes. I googled it and found this site: http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/R/Richtrsc.asp

Interestingly, the Richter Scale only goes up to 9. ("Numbers for the Richter scale range from 0 to 9, though no real upper limit exists.") I never knew that. Heh!

Anyway...

1. Would never happen: I have no children nor family heirlooms.

2. No dog! However, if my computer decided to eat it up I'd be royally upset. Hmm... say a seven. I'd feel very sick, too.

3. This would upset me, but life is too short. So... 2?

4. No twin, but I've had teachers who would always ask after my sisters, so that's similar. Annoyed, not angry. Zero.

5. Very mild. One, unless he kept doing it over and over.

6. Depends on the friend. I want my money back, but I can be flexible. A reliable friend: mild... 0-1. A friend I thought was reliable, but who kept putting me off: 6+ (depending on how long it takes to get the $$ back.)

7. I'd be mad at myself for not realizing that she was pregnant and needing support. 9 (10, non-Richter...

)

8. Furious. 9 (10)

9. Furious. 9 (10)

10. Don't drive, but I'd say 9 (10) if only for all of the hassle it would cause.

I think that I have done almost all of those things (not#7 or 8) to someone else at sometime or other, so I guess that would give me a 100 on the "annoying" scale

I mean it is kind of tough to have rated your anger, on paper, and see that you are pretty danged pissed off about a lot of things in life. I'm not judgeing you. I'm only commenting on what you wrote at the end of your test. You seemed to be surprised by your own test results. That's what I gathered by your comment at the end of your post.
