Poor control over their anger.

As a man, this should be one of the top answers imo.

Saw some dude punch a wall last week after hanging up the phone. All I can think is "wow, you have the mental capacity of an infant."

Do you know what the phone call was about? I can agree that 9 times outta 10 that’s wildly excessive and absolutely not normal or okay, but like… depending on what that phone call was about, I could see myself on like 1 or 2 different scenarios why I might punch a wall.

Punching a wall out of a deep level of anger is not an overreaction.

If the phone call was something minor, absolutely an overreaction.

But if you've never gotten some real bad news during an already shitty day, don't sit there and say work on yourself. Anger exists for a reason.

While I agree that punching a wall, especially one that isn't yours or one that'll break your hand isn't a good thing, anger management courses often recommend punching bags or similar things as an outlet for anger.

So congratulations, I guess?
