Or walk off with the free trap.

Or just find the peg which is pinning the trap and start limping it away somewhere. (Durn ninjas)

Y’know, it’s obviously not a perfect analogy because it falls into that “always a third answer” philosophical death hole.
I would likely have done none of those because what do you know, jaw traps hurt, and I would almost certainly be in shock very quickly. I might have been able to gnaw my leg off but more likely I would have faded in and out of consciousness for the few hours it took for blood loss to continue dampening my critical thinking.

Funnily enough, by all indications the mofo and I have a lot of common at first glance. I don't know what to say anymore.

He's obviously your long-lost brother and/or father. Forget words. Buy him some flowers. I'm sure he's still there, at the end of the escalator, waiting for your forgiveness.

Sounds like you met an asshole who struck your angry nerve, then you vented in relative private, and now everything is fine.

I wasn't offended for the record, nor was I trying to step on you -- I've had my own moments of rash reactions. Sometimes leading to bad consequences. That's why I wanted to underline the issue - particularily with the bitterness of "I wish I had screamed to them so and so". TBH the more situations I go through the more I think that it's usually better to stop and think things through (sleeping over them if necessary) rather than jump at the gun.  And often I've found that "the other guy" has his own issues to deal with (eg: just as you are jumpy because of your workplace problems, it might be that the other man was also going through something. Someone close to him might have gotten bad news. Or he might have.). I think we all forget that bit; speaking for myself, I had long talks with people with whom I had problems in university years after the fact, and I found that they were far more complex people than I gave them credit for. I did not necessarily think they were in the right in our past conflicts, mind you - I still dislike some of those people. But I recognize they're not -for the most part- two-dimensional cardboard villains. And that insight has helped me later...

I think it's good that you introspect about it, instead of just  thinking that the guy was an ass and deserved a punch in the face. If you're having issues with this kind of thing, maybe counseling would help? It doesn't need to be a long term thing either... maybe just having someone to talk to and get some advice from during difficult times would help.

As someone who daily speaks to entitled, screaming grown-ass toddlers on the phone, I can recommend not dwelling on anything they do or say for any reason as a method of fending off a state of constant rage leading to utter madness.

These are the kinds of rants I remember doing five years ago. A month later I'd feel like an idiot and want to delete them. Two years later they'd be the most interesting reading to me.
It's like a snapshot of where your head is at.

Was trying to do a little Google search to find out why chemical molecules are drawn/modeled the way they are (the kind of branching/honeycomb shapes). Google autocomplete started giving me some... interesting suggestions.

"Why are ..."

Why are barns red
Why are you running
Why are we still here
Why are there trolls in norway

"Why are chemical compounds ..."

Why are chemical compounds important

Similarly, "Why are molecules ..."

Why are molecules polar
Why are molecules important
Why are molecules attracted to each other
Why are molecules classified as lipids

[Dunamisdeos]

I mean those last two are probably grade school kids looking stuff up.

But really, why ARE you running. We only want your skin.


::EDIT::
I put in "Why the" and got:

Why the Earth is important
Why the long face
Why the gong face
Why the f you lying
Why the goat

Then I put in "Asia is" and got

Asia is a country
Asia is the land of the eats
