You can't control other people's actions, you can only control your reactions to them. Ask yourself: is my anger useful? Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. My car was totalled a couple of months ago. I was holding onto my anger at the guy who rear-ended me, and that was interfering with my search for a new car, because I was still focusing on how unfair it was that I had to go through the process. This was not useful anger.
My best release for a bad day is a good book, one that I've read before and love. I can drop into that familiar universe created by the book and lose myself.
