Have you ever lost your temper at work?

i'll laff if anyone says no

yeah couple of times, luckly, I wasnt fired

Not yet......but I'm tested daily!

Yeah, I lost a few jobs like that. Thats why I only work for myself now. Sence then, I'veonly fired myself twice.

I'm alittle more leniant with me.

oh yea....more than once...educated idiots erk my backside...

Many times,hey it's a kitchen

angry?

haha, i worked for the government for over 17 years. the entire time was nothing but a joke!

Do birds fly in the sky?

Oh yes... but kept the damage to a minimum...

More times then I care to mention, but I always got respect

Recently...I was so mad & upset that I ended up crying and leaving the office to take a drive up to a high vantage point near the office so I could just cool off. One of the guys came out and asked me to please not drive for at least 5 minutes.

After about 45 minutes I went back - not because I was really ready, but because I felt so bad for worrying people. I've worked with these guys for 10 years and they'd never seen me like that...

They were hanging around to make sure I got back safely. They are like family - sometimes they are the crazy uncles and cousins, but ya gotta love 'em!

P.S. The person who p'd me off is going to be my boss on January 30th! Suffice to say my life is NOT going to get better and thus I am working on different career choices!

I've come close. But then I remembered that I'm in management so I have to contain it. Some people just like to push buttons.

Yes I have many times. Never lost my job over it but came close a few times

Only when i want better results from my workers

No. Laugh all you want. Even when I'd been angry, I would keep it tamped, MAYBE discuss it, but never a rant. If anything, when younger, I was guilty of crying. Finally figured it out, that I was crying because I couldn't bring myself to tell work jerks to F--- OFF!!! But, getting older, I will express it verbally; just not in rant.

yes, most def.....several times.

Oh Yeah.........many times........

Definitely.

While doing phone surveys last summer, an angry drunk picked up his phone and immediately yelled, "ARE YOU GAY?"

I was shocked and not sure how to respond at first, so I didn't say anything. Again he barked, "ARE YOU GAY?"

More than irritated with this prick, I stayed calm, but I guess you could say I lost my temper. "Are you?" I asked him.

He started throwing all kinds of curses at me, so I hung up.

If my bosses had been listening, I might have been fired for that incident. There were others too, way too many to go into detail over. Doing phone surveys is thankless work that I wouldn't recommend unless you've already failed at prostitution.

No, cuz I can't work due to disability, but in front of my family, yes!!
