rageaholic
Anger management candidate
A rageaholic is someone addicted to anger—a person who habitually flies into rages or seems to seek out reasons to be furious.
The term follows the pattern of *workaholic* and *shopaholic*, treating rage as a compulsion rather than a reaction: My ex was a total rageaholic; everything set him off.
