I notice that quite often people post venting about really annoying things that have happened (and they have then sworn internally at strangers) and then people come on and say "Oh, you shouldn't do that, really you ought to calm down and take an anger management course" when all they have done is be angry and not acted out in an angry way.
there are also lots of situations where people have utter shit happen to them and they feel that they can't really vent as someone will come on and be either all prissy or offer 'helpful' advice.
Really if we had a topic where people could come on and say "look there's nothing you can do and I've already fecked this up but please let me vent as I feel crap" then maybe some of the massive bun fights/misunderstandings on AIBU wouldn't happen.
What do you think??
