I do better and my relationships do better if I take a deep breath or go for a short walk. “Shouting out your anger” has been a popular suggestion from psychologists for years now.

So a pillow only works a certain amount, I ordered this product in, so it better work better than the pillow... or I'll be pissed right off.

The Japanese, for instance, would generally believe that it is rude to scream/holler/foist ones frustrations and negative emotional outpourings on others merely because they happen to be unfortunate enough to be standing nearby. We Canadians likely understand this device as well, being a generally polite and socially conscious culture. In comparison, it is not a huge surprise that individual-idealizing American culture doesn't quite "get" this one. I imagine few of you have any reservations about unleashing your loud, angry vitriol on anyone and everyone in earshot when something goes wrong - hell, they deserve it for existing within arm's reach of your mighty pissed-offedness, don't they?. Seems to me a lot of you COULD use a shouting vase, you just don't realize it. Actually, this shouting vase makes total sense in light of Asian collectivist culture.

They have the weirdest solutions to the most non-existent problems. The only question I have is can you get a shouting vase from a vending machine? I love the Japanese.

Fights would be defused by sheer ridiculousness... or you might throw it at the asshole for laughing while you're clearly pissed.

However you cannot shout because it would annoy the neighbours, so voila you have a jug you can shout into which the neighbours won't hear.
