Anger is never acceptable in any situation.
In general it is best to solve problems, confront people and settle arguments with calm words, low voice, and with clarity.
In certain situations though, anger is acceptable.
For example-
a child runs across the street and almost gets hit by a car- A stern face, louder voice and sharper words may be necessary so that the child understands the gravity of the situation.
Another answer:
Anger is just an emotion. Ask yourself when is it acceptable to be hungry or to feel loving. So it is acceptable at any time. However, many confuse anger with aggression. Anger is the feeling, while aggression is one of a number of ways of reacting to that feeling. You cannot choose to not be angry over a specific incident, but you can choose to not curse, yell, slam doors, throw things, break things, or attack others. So anger is acceptable while aggression is not.
There are times that some aggression is acceptable, such as if your life or that of a loved one is threatened. There have been times when aggressive expressions of anger has saved people's lives. If a car falls on someone and you are angry enough to pull it off of them, or if you get attacked by someone who wants to kill you and you successfully defend yourself, then those are good. Or if you witness an assault and stop it.

∙ 14y agoUsually. Sometimes it is irrational and therefore not really justified (such as being angry at someone for reporting you to the police when you stole their car or assaulted them on the street), but many situations can be justifiably angering (for example, a government knowing that a volcano would erupt several days before the event and not telling anyone). I agree with the above contributor. However, I would just like to add the following. While anger is justifiable under certain conditions, following through on that anger with inappropriate behavior is not justifiable.

No. Hurting a person will not make your anger go away nor is it in any way an acceptable thing to do.
When is anger not acceptable?
It is hard to quantify when it's not acceptable. But the simple answer is that if one can't control his anger, it's certainly not acceptable. So, if one gets angry at simple things, it's a product of a different problem. If one gets angry and shows it at improper times, let's say if your anger takes over when you're at school or at work, and it's an uncontrollable anger, that's not good. Remember, anger is a legitimate emotion, but if you're not able to follow social guidelines while angry or if you daydream of vengeance or getting even, then that's not acceptable. Take steps to control your anger. First, ask yourself why you're angry; second, what can be done or said to extinguish the anger; how should I feel about this situation? Most people, especially young people, are kind of into winning, or beating someone, or coming out on top, that they can't even realize that it isn't a proper response to a given issue. Just try to reel it in. My sister was writing all over walls and she got violent and she got blood all over my hands (gross!) and while looking around with her how to control the anger, now we feel so much better.

Is anger acceptable in budist religion?
In "Buddhism" anger is looked upon as an obstacle that gets in the way of your Enlightenment. On one, anger is not "judged" as "evil," and on the other hand it is not indulged either: the idea is to watch how anger twists your perception of reality and therefore gets in the way of your enlightenment. Anger is just one of the many emotions that distract you from seeing reality, as it is. So, anger is a temporary reality, a temporary action of your mind, and like all actions of the mind it is an obstacle to be watched(especially during meditation, but also when you are not meditating). By watching anger, how it builds up inside you, by learning how it distorts your view of reality, you will eventually see how it subsides, as well. In Buddhism, you do not walk/run away from anger, but you do not indulge in it either: you have to find the middle path, the "middle way" through it by understanding it in every aspect.
