Temper Temper

I was at work today and I noticed that a guy I work with (one of the chefs) had his hand pretty heavily bandaged. I recalled that it wasn't that way yesterday, and I shockingly asked,
"What happened to your hand??" (I have a flair for melodrama, in case you couldn't tell)
He sheepishly said he broke it.
"How? And please don't tell me you broke it because you punched a wall."
Which is of course how he broke his hand.
Why do boys do this?
I have never known a girl who broke her hand because she punched a wall, or anything else for that matter. But men always seem to break themselves this way. And then there's the ones that just show up with a nasty swollen hand because they're too macho to go to the doctor. Idiots. Is there really no other way for them to manage their stress and anger? Some guys use the excuse that at least they didn't hit a person. True. But do you really have to take all your emotions out in a physically violent manner? Is there no other option? What about going somewhere private and screaming your guts out? Your throat might be a little sore, but at least you'll have all your limbs intact. Or is that too girly?
What really bothers me about this situation is that this guy asked me out a couple of weeks ago. I was never interested, but now I'm definitely not interested. I'm even a little bit scared of him. What kind of psycho gets mad and hauls off on the nearest thing? I don't want to be around a person like that.

I once read a top ten list of occupations of wifebeaters.
Number One is cops. Big surprise.
But Number Two is chefs.
Chefs?
And to think I dated one once upon a time.
Hay Carumba.
Boys, get your shit together. Gentle men are definitely preferable.
In the words of Bertolucci, "Orgasms are much better than bombs."
Know it. Live it.
