Simple Problem, Simple Solution
Boss: "We need a rack to put all these clothes hangers on in order to sell them. A big rack that can handle everyone of 'em. I want all of these hangers sold by Monday."
Employee #1: "But boss, we don't have any clothes hanger racks to hang all of those hangers on. I mean, that's a lot of hangers to be hanging - we don't have anything close to being large enough to handle them all."
Employee #2: "Waitaminute. Didn't we just receive a shipment of tall extension ladders? And don't we have a boatload of white shower rods that haven't been selling?"
Employee #1: "Yes, yes we do - what do you have in mind?"
Boss: "Yeah, how are you going to sell clothes hangers with extension ladders and shower rods?"
Employee #2: Leave this to me Boss, I'll get it done - going to need a lot of zip ties though."
Boss: If that's all you need to get those hangers sold, get on it. Be sure to have Harold in inventory note whatever you use."
Employee #2: "Will do Boss - check back here in about two hours, I think you're going to like what you see."

Today's Vague, Indeterminate Advice
Everybody gets a little hot under the collar every once in awhile. Or maybe just disputatious if you prefer.
Quite possibly argumentative would be a better descriptive, or if less offputting, simply disagreeable.
Whatever the case may be, getting up in arms, ticked off, boiling over, incensed, fit to be tied, miffed, mad as a hornet, p.o.'d, in a tizzy, or just plain old tempestuous...there really is only one thing to do.
The cure for being bent out of shape is learning to be flexible.
Now, I'm well aware that being flexible is freakin' difficult, but it is something one can learn, and once one learns to be flexible, then getting bent out of shape is much, much easier to handle.
Literally and figuratively.
