I really don't see what this has to do with this trope, all it shows is a guy pointing a gun at another guy in a casino. It looks more like someone being pissed about losing at poker or something.

@nuclearneo577 "It looks more like someone being pissed about losing at poker or something." Don't you think shooting a man over poker qualifies for a Hair-Trigger Temper? Former trope namer or not, it's a good image.

If that image were a crowner option I would definitely vote it up.

I am pretty sure discharging a firearm at a card table is at least as much (if not more) of an indicator of having lost your temper, as being visibly upset.

But it also looks like the same concept as we currently have for Serious Business.

Agreed. There has to be a better example.

When I say he doesn't look very angry I'm talking about his facial expression. It looks serious/bored, not angry.

This might need a collage. Show about three or four things, and show a character getting angry from all of them. Caption could be "He(She) is a walking Berserk Button."

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Yeah, I know, I meant, there are clues to lost temper besides his face.

Although, that ([up]) is a good point: the trope isn't "loses temper", it is "loses temper often".

What I meant to say was, I'm fond of the current image and would vote it up on a crowner.

Another Keep Until Better Image Suggested vote.

Almost two months and no one has suggested another picture. Keep Until Better Image is Suggested, and this thread could also use a clock.
