In a Fit of Rage

On my drive to work this morning, the morning show DJ's declared that they were absolutely positive that Tiger Woods' wife, Elin, was attacking him with a golf club when his now infamous accident occurred early Friday morning. I thought this was quiet an assertion considering few confirmed details have been released, and Tiger has been so hush-hush. I will not say that I agree or disagree, as I am completely at a lose for what may have happened that morning.

The hosts went on to discuss how in a fit of rage, people are capable of unthinkable things. Thinking Elin was enraged by the infidelity claims, she lost it and attacked. Could be. But, really, Tiger and Elin are the only people who know for sure, and it looks like they aren't talking!

This segment really got me thinking. What do people do in those moments of rage? What are people surprisingly capable of? So, I searched my memory bank to find the most ridiculous examples of pure rage that I could. What I found was pretty impressive!

First, there was a girl I knew in high school. When she found out he cheated on her, she came up with a plan. One day, for fun in this high school relationship, they had played dress up. The boyfriend had dressed up in girls clothing. Of course, this was a great opportunity for a photo-op. A photo-op that was strictly to stay between the boyfriend and girlfriend. With the discovery of cheating, the girlfriend dug out those pictures and scattered them around the school; taping them on lockers, posting them in bathroom stalls, and throughout the cafeteria. The boyfriend was completely humiliated.

In college another guy got caught cheating on his girlfriend. She was furious! She decided the best way to retaliate was to take a picture of herself in a compromising position with another man. Her thinking here was, "look what you are missing!" How do you think this went over? Not so well! This was a terrible decision on her part. For once the guy got the picture, he wrote a message on the back saying, "I am having so much fun in college," and forwarded the picture onto her parents. I'm sure her parents appreciated the inside scoop on the education their daughter was really getting.

The last example I could think of was a married couple. The wife, again, had caught her husband cheating. She even found his car out in front of his mistresses home. With this, she got in the car and slit his leather seats. She then went home and proceeded to clean all of the toilets in her house with her husband's tooth brush. Only to place it back in the tooth brush holder as if it had never been touched. Needless to say, this relationship ended not so peacefully.

With these thoughts running through my mind, I have begun to wonder what I would be capable of. Probably not much. I have pretty good self control. Plus, Jeff is not the average man. He's much, much better!
