Why I Joined 'Man Rage Anonymous'

If you've ever found yourself screaming at a power tool, a tangled cable, or a package that promised to “open easily”—you're not alone.

I am currently in mortal combat with modern design, I curse at my own mistakes, and then I have to explain to a very concerned partner that no, I’m not yelling at them, I’m yelling at a reality that doesn’t exist.

SKETCH COMEDY, SATIRE, PARODY, ADVICE COLUMN, MAN LOGIC, MEN VS WOMEN, ANGER MANAGEMENT

We all know someone who loses their cool when the world doesn’t cooperate—and for some of us, that someone is us. In this personal episode of Beverages With Rick, we step away from answering other people’s questions and instead explore what happens when the host himself becomes the subject. Rage at modern life, frustration with lazy product design, yelling at objects that cannot—and will not—respond... it’s all on the table.

This isn’t just about anger management. It’s about that deeply relatable feeling of betrayal when things should work and don’t. From Starlink cables to butt wipe packaging, this episode dives into the psychology of midlife frustration, perfectionism, and the quiet humiliation of knowing you’re yelling at a blender… again. It’s funny, raw, and maybe a little too close to home.

Viewers who find themselves (or their partner) regularly at war with inanimate objects will recognize these moments immediately. Whether you're a man who can't pick up a tool without a curse word forming—or someone who lives with one—this episode offers a bit of humor, a bit of honesty, and a whole lot of “yep, been there.” It's especially relevant to couples navigating middle age, DIY projects, tech headaches, and the slow unraveling of patience in a world that just won't cooperate.
