I get moderately annoyed, not really angry. I get angry if people interrupt me. Interestingly enough, when I'm rambling is the only time they don't tell me to shut up.
Do you get angry when told to shut up?

I'll be in mid conversation with my roommate (usally one he started) while were watching tv and if somthing comes up he wants to hear, rather than pausing he loudly tells me to shut up, basically stating that anything i have to say couldn't be as important as whats on tv
it takes every ounce of self control to keep from smacking him.
so in short yes it does make me angry when i'm told to shut up.

Well, yeah. Anything so flagrantly disrespectful is bound to piss me off.
I often heed it, though. I fume, but I fume silently. If someone is telling me to shut up, it's probably because I'm saying something stupid or being horribly annoying again or whatever.

Well, if someone asks me to be quiet in a somewhat civil manner, I'm fine with it. If someone says "shut up", then yes, I get very agitated. I see the phrase as being immature, rude, and very reflective of a person's qualities.
Nope. I'm usually very quiet apart from a snarky comment here, or a question there.
The only times I'm really talking a lot is giving directions (what to do in a video game, how to build something, answer questions) and if I'm intentionally annoying someone, the latter for which being told to shut up in part of the intended reaction.

Nomally I'm not bothered by it, except for these situations...
Because I'm like a chainsaw. I skin your ass raw. And if my day keeps going this way, I might have to break something tonight.

I get very angry when told to shut up. It's usually coming from a 3rd party butting into a conversation that a friend and I are having. The one I get the most when someone is butting in is "Don't you ever shut up?". I was never one to have a lot of friends back through school and the one group I did have I ended up having a falling out with (very long story). So when I can make a friend or meet someone with interests the same as me, and he/she is truly interested in what I'm talking about, it brings my blood to a boil to have someone rudely mouth off.
Ya I am a tad hard headed so I will cool off once I get it though my skull that I might have deserved it. That being said I always do my best to be kind and respectfull when giving opinons and what naught so I do not really get told to shut up.
For about a year, my grandmother ended every conversation with, "Now shut the hell up and get a job!" Being as I couldn't find a job in town, didn't have a drivers liscense (or even an ID) and she did absolutely nothing to help me, ever, it really pissed me off.
All that frustration eventually came to a head; my grandmother had brought us over to do chores for her, which pissed me off because I had been doing chores all day (washing dishes, laundry, mowing the lawn, ect). When we got there, we found out that we were moving around stuff in the basement. My grandmother being a complete control freak, we were moving things around for six hours, her yelling at us the whole time. Three or four times, when I tried to make suggestions, she would say to me, "Shut the fuck up and get a job".
After we'd finished, my sisters and my mother were watching TV with grandmother, while I was sitting in the dining room, resting. Grama yelled at me to get in the living room. I ignored her until she said, "Right Now!"...leading to this.
Apologies for not saying yes right off the bat.

I stayed in the dining room, reading from my notepad for the next ten minutes while they stayed in the other room and watched Lifetime. I don't think she ever told me to "Shut the fuck up and get a job" ever again.
