Jade Wu, PhD, explains forPsychology Todaythat anger is an emotion, not a behavior. So there’s nothing wrong with feeling it. In fact, we literally cannot help it. Dr. Wu notes that it’s a valid and useful emotion, and suppressing it is never healthy. It might motivate you to do an even better job at work or force you to reflect and find out what’s truly bothering you. But just because you feel angry doesn’t mean you’re allowed to act in aggressive or violent ways.

He was so offended he didn’t understand what she’s saying and went on a rant saying he’ll get them fired and asking for the Manager’s boss’s email. The employee have written the number for complaints but he wouldn’t take it and kept saying they’re the worst and he’ll stay here so night and put this on social media (I’m beating him lol) and wanting them to get fired. I have another longer video. The situation ended because I couldn’t just watch and told him to f**k off and he left. Sadly no one else helped.

I had a rather fun interaction with a rather hostile Ann Arbor resident earlier today. I was in the Skydale/Larkspur neighborhood off Pontiac Trail (across from Arrowwood). In the middle of the neighborhood is a city park. Parking is allowed along the curb. I was parked along the curb next to the park, on purpose so that I wouldn’t be parked right in front of anyone’s house.This wasn’t good enough for a person in a house across the street. They came out of their house, and asked me why I was parked there. They then claimed I was parked in front of their house, and that I wasn’t allowed to do that, and that I should leave. I told him that it was a public street, that I was parked next to the park, not his house, and I could be there if I wanted to. This was not good enough for the Karen, and he demanded I leave and that I was on his property. Words were exchanged. He started filming me, so I did the same. I threatened to call the police, he said he’d call them because I was harassing him and was parked illegally in front of his house. I finally left.I’m not gonna show pics of him or his house as I don’t want to start a witchhunt, but the guy was a paranoid a*****e. Looked to be middle aged, 30s-40s. The streets there are city streets and considering I was parked next to the park and not his house he had no jurisdiction to tell me to move. I hope I don’t ever have to deal with him again.
