Bathroom anger
Norwich Evening News: Couple's battle for bathroom sink ends in woe, smelly fingers*
If all else fails, my advice is to follow the leader of the council home and crap through his letterbox, it being the only language these curs understand.
* Yes, I realised how filthy this sounds the moment I wrote it. That's why I haven't changed a word

Car break-in anger
Dorset Echo: Arms-crossed in fury as thieves steal handbag from front seat of car
If you're looking for someone to blame, point the finger at those curs at Autoglass. They have clearly sold you a bin liner instead of a window.
Dog fight anger

This must be the weirdest picture we've ever had for this site. What - I ask - is going on?

Bad E-Fit

Don't have nightmares.
House break-in anger
Northern Echo: Householders sad, a bit angry after break-in
We don't really like doing shots of victims of crime as it appears we might be mocking them. Which we are not. However, this story cannot pass without noting the superbly-posed shot.
If anyone knows who did this crime, the usual advice applies: Rip their heads off and pour HP Sauce down their necks. That is all.

Nothing - but nothing - gets in the way of angry punter's bet on the dogs. Still, he'd better get that massively swollen hand looked at.
Locked gritbox anger
Brighton Argus: Fury as council refuse to open grit box
Look at it from the Council's side. They told everybody that the grit was for road use only. But they HAD to kick the arse out of it and use it for their budgies. They've only got themselves to blame.
