None. None whatsoever. So at that point I abandon politeness... (I've found I don't handle doing smouldering with resentment very well - it makes me too tense, which leads to stomach problems and migraines - so not worth the effort. Losing my rag, however, can be very cathartic)

I will NOT go quietly into that goodnight!  |
I do usually start at subtle, and work up to being smacked in the face with a fish blunt. Or, if I'm at work, substitute laptop battery for fish.
