That's certainly possible! There are probably people so mad at their bosses that they'd happily shoot the next person in line at the supermarket.
I guess what I want is mature, socially positive ways to do this. Ways that de-escalate, rather than just me taking my own pain and handing it over to someone else, so it becomes his pain.

Here's an article on the very subject.
