* While not all that uncommon in real life, one should beware that slamming doors is a form of symbolic aggression and can be a red flag for abuse in a relationship.

If you or someone you care about is being abused, please don't hesitate to report it to the police unless doing so would put you/them in greater danger.

* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'': After losing to Dan in the first episode of ''Press Your Luck'', Arin goes off on a rant and slams the door. He then immediately has to slam it again because the first attempt wasn't loud enough, and asked if the second try translated his rage better.

This is an act displayed when someone slams the door hard when they're really mad, usually when having an argument with somebody. If PlayedForLaughs, the slam can causes a vibration that causes stuff surrounding the door to crash down onto the floor, or even the door itself.
