Flip the bird
Cold hard stare
Put your head in your hands, fingers spread apart and sigh
Kick something
throw something
Slap person across soft cheek
Punch person in damn face
Belch the name "Andy" in their face
Passive aggression - use their toothbrush on your butt & tell them when they're brushing their teeth. Use sign language if you have to. After you tell them, remind them about it when they're eating dinner or making out with a new boyfriend/girlfriend.

I completely agree with what design school grad said! There is no better advice then that! I am also a silent person, but the people know me; that when I talk even in my quiet tone I am serious! You get no where with yelling and screaming at someone. This just causes the other person to shut down and not hear a word your saying, all they see is anger and not the reason behind it and start thinking up ways to defend themselves over all the screaming, and in the meantime screaming back a lot of what they really do not mean. And gues what they get to have the same argument a month from then that still does not reflect the REAL problem! again and again and again. they don't even know what they are screaming about and why they are angry to begin with!

If everyone around you knows you as the silent type, then the best solution is to get physical and verbal about it, because acting out of character will really communicate the message effectively that you're angry.

If it helps, practice at home. Get angry about not being able to express your anger and break a few things. Just not too many...

There are passive ways of expressing anger, and aggressive ways, but it's best to use an assertive approach. Tell other people in no uncertain terms what you want and why the situation is unacceptable. This takes some practice, and a lot of self-confidence, but at least it won't ruin relationships like the other two approaches would.

It depends on what type of silent person you are. If your that silent type that is soft spoken then you turn away anger with a soft answer. If your that silent person that holds everything inside, you'll start out with tears and later explode.

You don't have to turn into a raving lunatic the way a lot of people are. You don't have to remain completely silent either, though. Just say something like, "You know, I don't appreciate your staying out without letting me know you wouldn't be back for dinner." (and then don't cook a dinner for a few days)

If someone puts their shoes on the newly upholstered chair say, "Would you remove those shoes and don't put them on there again. That new upholstery will get ruined, and it isn't like it I can just send the whole set out again."

In other words, just speak up. You can be polite, but you can be firm and you can state the issue so it is understood.

Yes but...
You can show your anger in a lot of ways. But it's even better to express why you are angry than to show just how angry you are.
I mean you could pout, and give people the evil eye, even throw stuff. But those things aren't really that productive. Sometimes a quiet word can be more effective than a loud one. Two louder, more talkative people could yell at each other all day, and never "hear" each other.

get a book from the library about assertiveness. There is a difference between assertiveness, passivity and control freak (not the right word exactly). ...oh...I meant to say aggressive not control freak (but basically the same thing)

then go find a tree stump to chop on and play some corresponding rock and roll music (ie Working in the Coal Mines,etc) or take up martial arts so you can punch a bag or something.

I think you can also write their name on a piece of paper and close it up in a glass ball jar and shake it up once in awhile, so thereby to "shake them up"..

AAA........ actually I am also a person just like you. I am silent and don't have ideas to show that I am angry to anyone. I am kind of a jolly person and like to see all happy. But to show I am angry I wont talk to that person or never respond to him/her. And is YOU are BOLD person just tell it to the person that you are angry with him/her.
BEST OF LUCK DECIDING.

Just explode. talk whats in your mind. that'll cool you off. You'll never be silent again because you'll see the advantages of being noisy.
