Gee - I wonder how long it will take before this starts showing up as a legal defense in court cases.

I can hear it now:
Defendant: "Nope - it couldn't be MY fault that I hit that guy in the head 25 times - I must have Intermittent Explosive Disorder."

Just another excuse so people don't have to take responsibility for themselves.

 

I remember the good ol' days when this was called a "tantrum". It was usually followed by the words "you need a reason to cry? I'll give you a reason to cry..."

 

I've always heard it was a result of DWI.












Dealing With Idiots.

 

With all the DWI's around here, I don't see how the rest of the country could have a problem.

 

OUCH!!!

But since you called us on it....

 

This is so funny.These new disorders that people are coming down withLOL. I got one: Compulsive Cummins owner. if you put any other kind of vehicle in my driveway I'll have you towed away lol

 

CCD-Compulsive Cummins Disorder.

OCD-Obsessive Cummins Disorder.

OCCD-Obsessive Compulsive Cummins Disorder.

Although, Disorder doesn't really fit, as it isn't something "wrong" per se.

Thanks Phox I appreciate that.Cin

 

wait a minute, I tend to be accused of being intermitantly explosive, but thats not fit for discussion on a family forum

 

Although, it's usally around the family when the disorder shows itself.

Awwwww, Daaaaad .

In Texas is it "throw a hissy"?

Or something like that, I know a Texan will let me know.

 

Example: you throw this "hissy, tantrum, or compulsive" disorder around your family all your life when you get in the real world people thinks your nuts LOL

 

OCCD - Sudden urge to chain your pickup to a semi and drag race an import car.

 

Im 21 and i'll agree to that! I got myself plenty reasons as a youngin.

 

hissy fit? That is kinda girly way to say it. Tantrum? If you're a little kid. I refer to it as "not being able to keep your stupidity inside any longer"

my disorder is moronophobia - fear of idiots.

Somebody needs to stop them from peeing in the gene pool.
