walked off

Exited in frustration

Walked off describes leaving a place on foot, often abruptly or in a particular emotional state: She walked off without saying goodbye.

In sports, to walk off means to win dramatically in the final moment—a walk-off home run ends the game immediately.

To walk off a feeling is to ease it by walking: He walked off his frustration.
