We all need to vent after a bad day, right? It’s the equivalent of releasing steam from a pressure cooker, it’s long been believed. Researchers at Ohio State University, however, found “not a shred of scientific evidence” to support catharsis theory, as it’s called. In fact, venting might increase anger. Science Alert has more, including effective methods of managing your rage.

@BlackthornMeadow True that anger's a normal emotion but responsible, civilized people learn to express it in a moderate way...
If your new car's damaged in an accident, maturity restrains oneself from speaking/acting out with a no holds barred attitude. Society mandates boundaries of peace/composure. We simply can't express anger however we choose otherwise, we're inviting serious consequences into our own life such as a police record, jail time etc.
