How do you get the urge to stab people out of your system, without actually stabbing them?

Yeah, supress your anger so you go mental 20 years from now.
That'll fix it.

are you suggesting that all impulses should be acted on to prevent later mental illness? or not, no offence
yeah
( mongychops, Wed 20 May 2009, 22:25, archived)

Not acted on, just not ignored, pushed down and allowed to boil away.

no offence but i would presume that you are in control of your own emotions not other people, how you react is an internal feeling not controlled by others actions, no offence

good banter

( Grrrmachine the indifference engine, Wed 20 May 2009, 22:47, archived)

Growing up means not getting so stupidly angry in the first place that you see violence as an option
A much more healthy attitude is a mild tut-tutting under your breath, tempered with an inner glow of knowing you're not as far down the evolutionary ladder as whatever is the cause of your mild ire.
( Grrrmachine the indifference engine, Wed 20 May 2009, 22:25, archived)

It's that kind of attitude that got Poland invaded in the first place.

( stuj (^(^;;^)^) GO TEAM SPIDERS!(^(^;;^)^), Wed 20 May 2009, 22:34, archived)

Yes, because violence was actually my first option.
Of course I wasn't just saying it to show that I was pissed off.

Considering the eye-for-an-eye tactic you used that caused this whole debacle
you've got growing up to do, stab-happy or not.

What? Turning your speakers up so you can't hear his music and then both Sir Grumpsaloting around the house passive aggressively at each other?

You're still the one who turned it into a war.
Pointing out the next day in the cold sober light that they're being selfish is far more rational than playing petty oneupmanship

Woah there!
Are you genuinely suggesting that not stabbing your housemate because he listens to Green Day will result in having to do time in a metal institution in later life because of the bottled up anger?

I would suggest that the stabbity-stab-stab route will get you locked up much faster.

Go for a run.
If they have mortally offended, write a frank and candid letter listing exactly why you think they are a fuckwit and don't send it. It is quite cathartic.

There's a noise issue in the house.
Apparently it's ok for one person to sing full volume and have their really tinny speakers on loud, but it's not ok for me to have my music on at a volume to drown it out because I have speakers that can produce bass.

Yes, I did try the diplomatic route first.

I too have suffered at the hands of twatty, inconsiderate housemates.
This is why I live on my own.

Buy some noise canceling headphones perhaps?

I have some,
I use them at times. I don't want to use them whenever I'm in my room.

He's not a twat, I like him and we get on, he just listens to shit music at shit volumes and sings along shit.

take up learning the violin.
it takes a long long time to get to the not-painful-to-listeners stage, and stating to him that you "really think you are getting good" might lead to some sort of compromise amazingly quickly.
hunt ebay or the local markets for as cheap a violin as possible.
tuning it's optional...
