I can only speak for myself but I find it really hard to understand what a "reasonable" response to something that irks me is. Bipolar is emotion based and it is going to be struggle with a reasonable response to situations that elicit emotion. I would imagine that even without the bipolar I would be pissed at a similar situation. As for the all out rage, that's probably the illness. I'm a ticking time bomb when it comes to something that irritates me.
