HULK RAGE

mcibty

Just having a chat with one of my friends on here, but I thought I'd open it up to see what other stories are out there.

When has someone totally lost it with you in your job? For example, this morning I sent out a one-liner email to someone who wasn't on our database and 10 minutes later I was in receipt of a 4 paragraph reply. If she was so 'busy' she couldn't talk to me, then I really do need her to explain how she had the time to sit and write out the beautiful symphony of words detailing how 'if I'd like her to' then she'd tell all our prospective clients that our software requires 'too many clicks'.

Also... I did recruitment before sales and I had this guy call up and shout at me for 20 minutes, without letting me speak once. He'd been out to dinner with his wife and she'd mentioned that a female recruiter had called his home phone for him 6 months ago and called her a b*tch. He thought that female recruiter was me. Needless to say, it wasn't. I told him to speak to my boss, for which my boss kindly ripped him a new a-hole on my behalf.

I work in B2B sales, and I was lectured by a client/customer on the overuse of paper because I sent her literature.

She lectured me over the phone for about 20 minutes about environmental factors and how I could of utilized email. Ok, I get it.

I may have sent more paper literature after our conversation

When I was a cashier at a car dealership, a customer came into the building absolutely ENRAGED. She came to my desk (luckily I sat behind a glass wall) and began to freak out because she thought while we were doing her oil change we implanted a government spying device into her laptop which was in the backseat of her car at the time. As I tried to calm her down and get the manager down there, she RIPPED HER SHIRT OFF in a fit of rage, lay down on the floor and sobbed uncontrollably. One of many horror stories I have had working there...

Um...was she hot?

A guy at work (who was a d1ck anyway) was feeling the pressure one day and following someone else asking him a question, him responding with the wrong answer and me correcting him proceeded to throw a hissy fit which involved:

1. Slamming his fists down onto the desk so hard it made the floor shake about 4 times;
2. Standing up and throwing his chair across the floor
3. Storming out and kicking a box of paper in rage (which flew towards my general direction, I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't aiming)
4. Storming out of the building whilst shouting swear words
5. Slamming the office door so hard that the lock broke

Consequences for said collegue: sh1t all. I however got a lecture about not arguing with collegues.

I worked for a screamer once but he was only that way during times of high pressure deadlines. I learned the best way to handle him was to scream back and always have my stuff handled so I could throw it at him. I actually kinda liked the environment, because it was an awesome way to handle your stress without reprocussions.

And then came the day when we had a brand new Admin, who on her first week of work encountered us on "bid day" - We were yelling back and forth between our offices about who had what, and what he needed and expected where and when. Then the second he hit "send" the two of us got up and went to lunch together. She apparently cried the whole time we were gone! I'm sure she would be posting that story right here, right now if she could

We got a new admin shortly there after (and we won the bid).

I used to be a cook.

A customer got something from a server that came from a station that wasn't mine. So I had no hand in the prep of his meal.

He went steroid crazy and comes flying onto the line, throws his food and plate at me and starts shouting at me.

So I slapped him straight across the face and told him to get himself together. He spit some blood on the floor and left the restaurant.


A buddy of mine got to deal with some little people rage. It was New Year's Eve, I sent him out to an event I was supposed to work, and had him take my girlfriend at the time. I was stuck on air so couldn'tt go, so I made sure to hook them up...

Well, my buddy was a little dense, and stood in line to get in. Which is funny since they were VIP listed... but while in line, there was a little man dressed as a leprechaun doing tricks for tips to entertain people. So my buddy ends up saying something about lucky charms.

Little did flips out kung fu style. He jumps back, does a series of cartwheels to get to my friend. Then hauls off and punches him in the junk, dropping my buddy. Little green monster then bites his ear, and cartwheels off while laughing. I almost peed myself when I saw the video of it.

That's a good mini-HULK RAGE.
