When something that works 99.9% of the time fails, i get very mad

When something that we take for granted in everyday life fails, I get extremely mad. (Exceptions: if there's nothing I can do about it, I can get over it. Also, if there's an easy workaround, I will attempt it and get over it.)

Basically, everything that breaks and disrupts everyday life that doesn't have an easy solution causes me to get extremely frustrated.. to the point where I can't concentrate on anything else or want to talk to other people. Examples:

1) The post office loses my mail for 3 days in a row.

2) I turn on the faucet and no water comes out.. and has been that way for days.

3) I boot up my computer and I get a garbled screen (can't even read any error message.)

    Things happen in life that we have no control but you can control your anger. All the things you mentioned can be fixed. Call a Plummer, speak to the Post Master, bring your computer to have someone or a friend look at it. It sounds to me like you expect every day should be perfect however the more you behave this way the more it upsets you. I use to have that problem and was diagnosed with anxiety. I would get aggregated over the stupidest things. I'm not saying you have what I have but I take med. for it and I have had to learn to control my temper. It is genetic in my family. I laugh at myself for acting so ridiculous and just take one day at a time. Take a breath and tell yourself I can handle this

    I hate things that work 80% times but fails when I try them!

    I hate when the repair rate for NPCs is over 95% and they still fail and wreck the durability on my items >:T.

    Wow, it seems you are having a run of pretty bad luck. I've always found the USPS to be reliable and pretty damn efficient, considering they have to read OUR writing.
    No water, in freezing temperatures? How strange.
    Computers; those things can really get on my nerves, but then I remember an old saying; "garbage in, garbage out", and try to figure out what I did to the thing, because it doesn't do squat without directions.
