It takes a lot to get me angry. I usually will ask a few questions to make sure I understand what happened and why. If I am still angry after that I say I need a minute and walk away.
A lot like ...people you don't know invading your privacy and spreading rumors about you? @SweetMae:

@Iamnolongerhere: IRL or here?

@Iamnolongerhere: I am sorry to hear that. That must have made you very angry.
@SweetMae: Wise and enlightened approach.

@puck61: It does help to get the facts straight. It is hard to repair the damage when you get angry at someone for no good reason.
@SweetMae: I learned a lot about taking ownership of my emotions. In my heart I know that no one can make me angry. I become angry in reaction to an action, but no one really 'makes' me feel anything. It's a bit pedantic, but it's true.

@puck61: As my mother used to say, "Just because the phone is ringing, it doesn't mean you have to answer it."
What if your phone rang all day? @SweetMae:
@SweetMae: True! That's a good proverb!

@Iamnolongerhere: In all honesty, I would get rid of it!!
That's what I would do too. @SweetMae:
What if you did and bought a new phone and changed your number but found that it rang and rang and rang? Would that not be odd? What would you do then? @Iamnolongerhere:

@Iamnolongerhere: That would be very odd. I would think that I was being stalked. I would not get another phone after that!!
I unplugged too but it didn't stop. @SweetMae:
