Frustration can stem from a plethora of numerous different situations, but one of the most boggling comes from that of videogames.
Let's say you're busting your ass, trying to beat a boss, complete a level, or find all 100 secret items scattered througout a virtual world...and you have to redo the whole thing over and over until you get it right, because you keep dying, time runs out, or you get stuck in the game.
Odds are...you're started to lose patience. This is easily evidenced by anyone playing a fighting game. As the player progresses, or rather de-gresses (cock off! I know that's not a word), primitive instincts take over, and he/she will degenerate into a cursing, controller throwing mess.
I'm never one to destroy my own property, usually I'll let out a "Fawk sakes..." or a "Kawksawker!" in hopes that I'll hurt the feelings of the assholish A.I. Little did I realize how often I did this until just recently, when we were all gaming at a friends house, when his daughter mimicked a "Fook Sakes" to her stuffed puppy. Totally out of the blue. Very cute, but still....very wrong.
Of course, I don't blame my vile language. I blame videogames, you know, like congress does....
