Yep. Happens with my teenagers fairly frequently, although my version of pissed off may be different to others.
Aden in particular gets pissed off really quickly, and he really needs to work on his coping skills in that instance. Probably I do too. One thing I will say though is that if I let him go and sort his shit out in peace, he usually gets over it pretty quickly. Much more so than me actually. So with that in mind, I've actually been trying to hold a grudge for less time too. It makes things easier.
I guess our kids teach us a lot if we just stop to think about things instead of sitting there analysing them in depth.
