This is not good writing.
I disagree. Walt is one of the most fascinating characters I've ever seen on television. I'm not sure how much this has been touched on and expanded in season one, but Walt is FILLED with repressed ambition. In his younger days, he contributed directly to work that led to a Nobel prize. He was a genius on the fast track to everything. Fast forward 25 years, and he's a struggling middle class man teaching high school chemistry. A world-class chemist teaching high school. His ambition, genius, and limitless potential were never realized, buried by the harsh realities of a blue-collar life. He absolutely loathes this reality, and his seething anger manifests itself many times like in those situations you mentioned.
