Usually I deafen myself with music. More often than not by the time the first side of an album is over I've given up being angry.
How do you get rid of anger?

Unhealthily. When I'm angry, I get this really strong urge to punch (inanimate) things. Failing that, I'll do pushups until I'm out of energy. That "count to ten" crap works sometimes, too.
Used to bottle it up. But then some idiots got berzerked on and the police laughed at the idiots.
So i changed to a punching bag- But on school days if i used it my knuckles would get too swolen to write.
Now i have a dojo in which theres rolling that goes on for long amounts of time. Havent had issues since.

depends, if the thing that has made me angry is inanimate, I go "Grrrrrr" and try again.
nobody annoys me though, I'm blessed with the gift of having the friend with the title "Most likely to stick up for you in a fight..."

Here's my anger routine:
1. Music on. Loud. The louder the better.
2. Go somewhere where I'm alone.
3. Take shirt off.
4. Go through kata routines, and/or kumite combinations against the air.
Alternative:
1. Music on. Loud. The louder the better.
2. Go somewhere where I'm alone.
3. Take shirt off.
4. Work out until I can't move.
Alternative #2:
1. Drink heavily.
2. Punch inanimate object, usually a door or wall, occasionally a mirror.
3. Drink more.
4. Pass out in puddle of own vomit.
5. Wake up an hour later with back covered in sex-scratches and have no idea how they got there.

I find a show or book that I find humorous and familiar(recently IT Crowd and Dresden Files), get a cuppa, some dark chocolate and try to calm down. I don't buy into the idea that you can just bottle it up; generally when I do it bubbles up when it really shouldn't, and something that was once mildly annoying becomes rage-inducing.
Punching shit just makes me more angry. The only thing that really calms me down is reading a good story. Something that I get completely sucked into and forget why I was angry.
I don't, I don't usually get angry and when I do it never really lasts that long. If I do find my self getting really angry I tend to just walk away for a bit until I have calmed down. I find that when you are angry there is a good chance that you will say/do something that you will later regret. Some things should not be said/done even if you are thinking them and when you are angry you are far more prone to forgetting that.
usually i just wait. if i feel i might actually kinda-sorta blow up, i'll leave the crimescene to cool down a little. when i remain angry, i'll wait longer; usually it's alright after one good night's sleep. if not... well, then it really takes quite a while, but i still wait for it to go away.
not healthy, neither physically nor for your environment; it's like you transpirate anger through your pores instead of sweat, creating a nice poisonous cloud around you nobody, including oneself, wants to be in
