    Human beings get angry when their wishes clash with reality.

    Humans become angry when they feel wronged.

The two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Imagine the spoiled brat, who wants a pony for their birthday. Daddy isn't having it. Wishes have clashed with reality, and they feel wronged.

People aren't always the most logical creatures. We're able to feel wronged at the slightest perceived indiscretion. If our reality isn't matching up with what other people are experiencing, I can see how someone could get angry.

Perhaps that's what ThatFanficGuy means. I could be totally wrong, though.
