"...when some tries to pick a fight or annoys the one who is fasting, he should respond only by saying, 'I am fasting'". Walking away from a tense situation when you know you are right takes tremendous courage and self control.
This makes you love Islam that it offers solutions to all human problems. Prophet (pbuh) advised believers that when you feel anger, find yourself a seat if you are standing, perform wudu if you still can't control it. taking deep breath and letting it out slowly also relieves one from anger and tension.

word saum (fast) in arabic means to hold back. Eating and drinking etc. are needs of the nafs (body). holding back from it is controlling, isn't it!
Then prophet (pbuh) explained it as such. anger is normal, you are rite Jbaby, its control has a reward and letting it loose brings harm. Curbing internal desire to cause injury, physical, mental, emotional..., to one who causes anger is an act of righteousness.
