Have you ever lost it at work?

I find out today that she's told everyone I'm a raging alcoholic. I'm absolutely livid as this is potentially career damaging.

You'd think I'd know better than to tell co-workers anything personal so I'm mostly blaming myself. :mad:

Fucks' sake :rolleyes:
I'd go with your giving karma a hand idea.
Really, what the hell is wrong with some people? Any tiny little bit of confidence seems like an excuse to abuse it for some people.



A member of my team once resigned by shouting at me that " you can shove your fucking job up your fucking arse!"

I put my managers hat firmly on, leant over the staircase he was disappearing down and calmly hit him with the best broadside I could muster:

"Yeah? Well, fuck you too!"




I did once lose it with a supplier a bit. They still talk about hearing me say "Really? Well I'm fucking looking at it because it's on my desk, perhaps I could pop up and stick it up your warehouse manager's arse, maybe then he'd believe it got shipped to us?"
 
No I never have, but somebody who did always sticks in my mind:

Working for a company in Leyton, and was in the office one day and one of of the electrician staff got bollocked about about something or other and this got a bit heated. Voices got raised and this bloke couldn't cope so he starts screaming and arguing, which at that point seemed reasonable if a little unpleasent.

He was then told by the management something that he just couldn't deal with, then the poor cunt just totally fucking lost the plot, he ran up and down the corridor shouting "Tottenham!!!!! C'mon!!!" as if he was having some kind of fucking row with some Gooners ons a Saturday afternoon!

Totally fucking out there! :eek::D Poor sod, at least he didn't lose his job over it, but it was fucking weird to watch to say the least. :D
 
Yes I have lost it at work on a few occasions - usually nothing more serious than leaving the office for a few minutes to calm down.

On one occasion when I was in the Civil Service, one of my managers asked me a question about a very personal health-related and supposedly confidential thing in the main office (and was at least 20 feet away from me so had to raise her voice) - open plan office and I reckon at least 30-40 people stood a good chance of hearing every word she said. I was given a warning for my response, which wasn't offensive but was quite abrupt and was followed by me leaving the office absolutely bloody fuming. It was completely out of order of her.
 
No, I'm chilled as shit. My boss (about 10 years ago) threw a chair at me for running rm /* on their server the day before we were supposed to do an install at jp morgan though...that was his fault for giving a clueless grad root access on the machine though :D
 
yep

I may have told someone I shouldn't that 'if they ever pulled a stunt like that again I'd smack them'.

knew as soon as I said it that I'd just handed the cunt the ability to get me fired if he chose... and sure enough the cunt had put in a formal written complaint the next day, and after about 4 months fuck on I ended up leaving by mutual consent rather than risking a gross misconduct thing on my employment record.

the twat had been well out of order mind
 
when a guy I worked with was promoted to assistant manager he turned into a complete dick. after a few months of him standing with his arms folded watching me work my balls off and answering my repeated attempts to get him to do some work with "but I'm your boss now" I threatened to knock him the fuck out if I seen him watching me work again. we get on grand now

I've often had to walk out into the back of the shop to scream after particularly awkward customers

there's another assis manager who's not long back from maternity leave and now works the same shifts as me. she drives me fuckin barmy!!! I was running those shifts for 4 years with no problem until she showed up :mad::mad::mad: plus, she will never walk over to me to ask me to do something, she just keeps shouting my name across the shop until I come to her I told her the other night that 'I'm not a fuckin dog and I wouldn't take being spoken to like one' she wasn't impressed :D
 
Yup.. Totally lost it with the owner of a small businesss I was working for that had a workforce of me... I was sacked on the spot..four days later I was asked by the owner to return.. He had no one else to do the work and it was all pilling up around him.. (smirk....)

Reminds me of a woman in an office I worked in - open plan about 30 of us - she was down and depressed after having split with her husband - she must have lost her money in the tampax machine in the womens toilets and reported it as a maintainence person came in waving a pack saying who was looking for these in front of everyone - the poor woman burst into tears :( it may have been something she could've laughed off any other day but given the state she was in it was too much for her :(
 
Tears every Wednesday at my old job!

'Staff health group'.

With a cunt of a bully for a boss.

In a counselling setting.

And she'd 'facilitate' the health group.

I described my utter fury on a number of occasions, but a colleague of mine was in tears on a bi-weekly basis for the last six months.

:)
 
A few times but never in a smashing stuff way.

Generally due to other peoples incompetence or unfair treatment of people. It has generally taken the form of verbal put downs to show up the person publicly. Sometimes it has worked well for me and other times it has fucked my career up. Will try and find my favourite example for this thread :)
 
Ive shouted at my boss on several occasions, and a year or two ago after a very bad meeting, I bit an executive chair and lifted it from the floor with my teeth. It disturbed other innocent bystanders, so Ive tried to be calm even since, now I am just depressed about my job rather than stressed.

My previous job was more amusing because sometimes my boss, the owner, would throw people out of his little computer shop for wasting his time. The shock on their faces was something to behold.

When I grow up I want to be Basil Faulty.

My boss (also a friend) and another male colleague were being their usual selves (altho thankfully they haven't done this since then heh) and telling some racist/homophobic jokes in front of me just to wind me up (:rolleyes:). One saw me glaring and getting pissed off and grinning he said "now now don't rise to it, it'll make it worse" etc. I fukn saw red in an instant! Called them both "Fuckin twats" and said "Grow the fuck up" and yelled "Fuck off!" as I walked out of the building. *ahem* :o Went for a breather for 20 mins then came back and they didn't say a word. I think they were shocked.

Sorry to break the illusion, but I suspect that they were more likely pissing themselves with laughter.
 
Almost threw some fat cunt I was working with out of a moving bus, but settled for laughing at him when he was trying to yell at me.

He nearly suffered a heart attack. Heard he went bankrupt, LOL.
 
I don't think I've ever lost it at work. I've got quite sarcastic on occasion though, but I'm not about to let the buggers get to me.

I made a student cry once.

But that wasn't as a result of 'losing it' - I was just being me.

Not lost my temper at work for over 20 years. It was with a temporary line manager who was unbearably wanky. I wasn't the only one to be driven to distraction. I think he pissed off his wife a lot too. He came to a meeting once and when he opened his diary she'd scrawled obscenities about what a useless husband he was all through it. It was a delight to watch him frantically leaf through looking increasingly alarmed.
 
Never .. if I lost it with any of my mates they'd muller me like they would anyone but then they'd start sobbing and getting all scenty on my face. 'Oh my fuckin god what have I done? .. I love you blah blah'
It's not hard to remember I don't want butter on my sandwich but even then I have to fanny about so it doesn't kick off.
You pass me a buttered roll and I put it in the dustbin plain and simple. I'm not going to starve to death and I haven't said a fucking word either. I couldn't give a fuck about the roll.
Go home to your girlfriend and slobber all over her forehead and eyeballs is my motto.
 
After weeks of trying to make crap equipment work I lost it and kicked the fuck out a satellite receiver one day. My colleague went for a smoke to calm down while as a non smoker I had to beat the piece of crap out of that which was the centre of our frustration. We changed the case with a working one and sent it back as faulty :)

It was the usual case of project engineer "does" his job leaving those who maintain the system to make it work.
Project engineers are useless cunts who can't even document their non working systems.

I actually have a rant most days at work. Its good for your health

WTF is this meant to mean? 'Pedo bear'? What are you implying?

I was comically misunderstanding your words and illustrating my comic misunderstanding with a picture of a pop culture character who also makes students cry just by being himself. My apologies, I should have done it to someone a little less likely to have become enraged by my attempt at humour.

Bloody hell, serious business this internet.
