What do you do when you get so mad but you can’t show it to the person you’re angry with?

I can't hide it when I am really angry. It happened to me at work once, when the IT girl basically implied I was an idiot and had screwed up my own computer. She escalated it, and brought in her supervisor, and the two of them were like hound dogs sniffing at my emotions...one of them said, "You seem really angry", in an accusatory voice. I smiled at her in a pained way, and said, "No, I'm having really bad stomach cramps".

@4meAndyou It’s hard to pretend we are okay when we are not. When they were being rude your reaction was normal. . Also, it’s their job to fix computer-related issues they should have handled it professionally.

@TessDun It made me feel much better, later, when I heard that the IT girl had been reprimanded.
