I had a dinner with a friend which is a doctor and one which is a dentist.

They famously consume movies/series that perfectly fit your description.

They told me after a full day being kind and empathetic while also spending a lot of time standing, you just want to see the world burn.

Very enlighting, especially since most of our society works in services



"Frasier", Season 5 Episode 12:

  Niles: [walks in] Hello, Dad.  I believe we switched videotapes on 
         accident.
 Martin: Believe me, I noticed.
  Niles: Yes, there you go. [hands over video] At first I was dismayed.  
         I popped in the tape, and there was Charles Bronson blowing 
         away street trash, but I actually got into it.  It was quite 
         suspenseful.
 Martin: Yeah, well, that's the way Duke and I felt about "My Dinner 
         With Andre."  Talk about suspense! [fake, dramatic 
         anticipation] Will they order dessert?  Will they leave a good 
         tip? [walks to chair and sits]


I have two therapist friends who like to watch horror movies because they say it’s a good outlet to externalize their stress and anxiety
