So both me and my girlfriend were wondering this today, while we were hanging some new artwork around the house. It seems that whenever we are forced to hold our arms above our head, and specifically above around ear level, and exert any type of force on anything, there is this mounting rage that we both experience.<br> <br> We are both healthy people and work out and whatnot, so it's not simply muscle pain or soreness. It's this really strange feeling we both can only describe as anger, and we don't get that specific feeling in any other situation. Anyone have insight on this phenomenom? Are we crazy? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.55893 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 13:16:31 -0800 anger armsabovehead lazaruslong
