In one instance he slammed his door on Ray when Ray was in the middle of his sentence. Another instance of Terrance's antisocial ways is when he says it himself "I want my privacy" And even another instance is when Terrance shows it by his actions, he stops writing and starts writing software. This shows he does not want to contribute to society.
             Terrance also gets so angry with Ray he even threatens him! In this quote he is showing his anger in full effect. "I"m going to beat you with a crowbar until you leave" Terrance gets so angry he messes up his own apartment. Terrance Man seems to be in his darkest hour.
