My mother had not only a violent temper -- which runs in our family -- but also violent PMS. Put the two together and she could be absolutely terrifying. One of my favorite memories of her is the day she completely demolished her soon-to-be-ex-second-husband's motorcycle with a sledgehammer. Without going into disturbing details, this act was entirely justified and so terrified said soon-to-be-ex that he never set foot on our property again.
I have inherited the family temper, but not the PMS, so I'm only half as terrifying as my ma. But my co-workers know what it sounds like when I lose it -- usually on the wrong end of an equipment malfunction, clogged drain, or leaking roof -- and they just roll their eyes and pretend not to notice.
