or other object at their significant other. Probably some just aren't admitting it.
I have never thrown anything at anyone---but I have definitely felt the urge. Have you men had things thrown at you during an argument? Ladies, have you ever thrown anything?

Yes, I have. It was a pen. Of course, I can't remember what the argument was about. :lol

It was the children's mother. She was pretty pissed off. The madder/louder she gets the calmer/quieter/more monotone I get. It drives her crazy. I was calmly picking them out of the air and putting them back under the table...She probably threw a couple of them twice LOL

My wife threw a burrito at me one time but missed so I just picked it up, threw some sauce on it and ate it.

I've thrown something at my ex-husband. However, this is the same husband who threw a cup at me and purposely hit the knee that I'd just had surgery on and once, because I was royally pissed because his kids were so picky and finicky and they wouldn't eat anything I made, he threw a WHOLE PLATE OF FOOD at me!

Needless to say - we're not married any longer!

I think I just haven't done it because I would miss for sure and then probably have a mess to clean up!

Let me clarify. I did not do this to my husband. I was in my 20's, dating some idiot.

Hmmm. I'm starting to doubt these percentage threads. At least some of them....... Can't find the "science" resesearch backing it up. Googled it and this thread was at the top of the list. I don't know how to react to this finding.

Pipe down, Chippy. And no I haven't. I don't believe in hitting a woman and if I throw something, something is getting hit.

I have Irish blood - can I use it as an excuse? It takes quite a lot to get me really mad, but when I do - watch out. When I was a teenager, there was one evening when my older brother just kept hitting me - you know, like punching me in the arm. I could never hit him harder than he could hit me - and I kept asking him to stop. He didn't listen - so I picked up a pair of taxidermy tweezers (they have a VERY sharp point) that were on the kitchen counter and stabbed my brother in the arm. Those suckers went clear down to the bone! I took my hand away and they stayed upright in his arm. :wow

It was a long time before he punched me again! :lol

I've never thrown anything at a guy I was dating out of anger. My brothers, on the other hand, have gotten many things thrown at them by me. And vice versa.

The wife started to throw a coffee cup at me once and then changed her mind and slammed it into the floor for dramatic effect instead...knocking a big ass chip out of the ceramic tile right in front of the refrigerator...

I just looked at the chip and said "Well I hope THAT made you feel better!"...:lol

My ex-husband threw an entire plastic bowl full of salad across the room at me once ... in turn I threw an entire (full) big plastic glass of tea back at him.

He's also the one I threw a shoe at ... well, "throw" wouldn't be technically correct. It was more, "took my show off and hit him with it a few times".


The funny part was watching him try to vacuum up the lettuce. WTF? :lol

The best spousal argument I ever saw was at a friends house in high school. The dad came home from work, the mom immediately started bitching at him, he told her to shut up, she slugged him in the face, he literally threw her through the living room wall (she hit between the studs on the sheetrock) and she went right through the tile wall into the bathtub in the hall bath. About 30 seconds later we heard the *clack*clack* of a round being jacked into a lever action rifle and Keith and I hit the floor...she came around the corner shooting and the dad went hauling ass out the back door and over the back fence. I was like "uhhhhh Keith, I think it's time for me to go home...." :lol

A long time ago, during one of our usual Monday morning arguments I was washing dishes, and he said something real shitty and walked out of the kitchen. I took the butcher knife I was washing and threw it against the wall, it stuck in the sheet rock where he was just standing.:wow.

The closest I got was with my dyke boxer cop ex wife. She was upset at me one time and started swinging at me. I'll never understand how butch lesbos think that just because they want to act like a dude they are as strong as a dude. I am twice her size and after she got mad because I didn't hit her back she slugged me in the face. So I picked her up and threw her onto the couch. I think she got the point when she saw how easy it was for me to fling her across the room. The psycho bitch even got all hot and bothered and wanted me to hit it. What a weirdo.

In anger? Probably, but like . . . pillows. Soft things. Otherwise, I've thrown the remote down the couch towards him or something. And that's usually just in fun or in mock arguments.

I do have an instinct to throw things when I'm angry, but I don't want anyone getting hurt.
