How do Canadians vent?
This is inspired by another thread where one poster was arguing that, due to the avoidance of all things that may offend, Canada is a dull place to live, whereas another poster was arguing that it makes Canada a pleasant place to live.
This got me thinking about how usually, mild mannered Canadians become absolute nutters once they get behind the wheel of a car, or how said Canadians really love nothing better than a good hard fight in the middle of a hockey game.
Other than in the above situations, I have never witnessed a Canadian losing it. Have you and in what circumstances?

The circumstance was that the Canadian was subjected to a barrage of abuse in a bar based consequent upon her accent. The Londoner intervened and, in the resulting fracas, all parties were ejected. The Canadian than discerned that she had left her stash in the bar. For this she blamed the Londoner.

Pop to a local Walmart or Canadian Tire, visit Customer Service, once there hang around for a short while, I guarantee you will see Canadian's venting at some poor employee about crap product, limited warranties and Customer Service.
Threats and shouting appear to be popular, along with the promise to never shop at that location again.

By leaving numerous abusive voicemail messages at 4am and telling their Daughter-in-law that she has "a real bitch attitude"

Sometimes you get a good fight going and a game of hockey breaks out around it.

Work in Starbucks for a few months - then you will see how serious a Canadian can be. Coffee is no laughing matter, I tell you.
