I've seen plenty. Some were funny, one time was directed at me but probably would have been funny from an outside perspective, then another walked out and threatened to come back with a gun.

We had a guy walk off the job and in the process he broke his mop in half and threw the sharp end at one of the managers like a dart. I didn't see this part but I was in the office when he came back and begged for his job back. As in literally dropped to his knees.

Office Depot. District manager was checking up on our store. Part of the rules requires us to offer customer service to any customer we pass, unless it's been established over the radio that said customer doesn't want help. (OD is seriously creepy with its customer service practices, one of the reasons I bailed.)

Coworker passes a customer we knew was doing fine without help. DM didn't like that and personally calls the coworker over to reprimand him. He was having none of that, it turns into an argument, and finally the coworker grabs his things and storms off. Then he comes back and roars "YOU FAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" to the DM, across the store.

Another coworker was outside on his break and talked to the one who stormed off. Apparently this dude was absolutely raging, talking about how he'd slash the DM's tires if he knew which car the guy owned.

I had a co-worker grab a knife and hold it like he was gonna do something with it. He restrained himself and put it down though. That was his last day >_>

At current job, had one flip out on the others after a random discussion turned into a heated argument and said "fuck all you guys!" and stormed out. Another time he got into a shouting match with the boss... no consequences though. The boss is his older brother >_>. He recently left for another job.

Had a guy come in and stab one of the managers. He'd already stabbed his wife that morning, left the knife in her back, drove to Wal-Mart and grabbed a knife out of housewares and stabbed the manager he accused of having an affair with his wife.

I don't work there anymore, but I used to be the head line cook at this local restaurant. Was there for 5 years actually. But foodservice, you see a lot of people come and go and only few stay there for long periods of time. You see a lot of characters to say the least. For instance the time it was directed at me I told this guy to move faster because we were way behind on ticket times mostly because of holdups at his station, and he started fucking throwing whole heads of lettuce at me and walked out. So I was kinda pissed but I look back on it and think it probably looked hilarious to everyone else.

It was also an open kitchen I should say so doing that in front of customers obviously made it more serious. A lot of workers couldn't handle customers looking or complaining about them

Had a manager who had a rep for being a really nice guy. During his coffee break he goes outside and comes back in and just stunk of booze. Gets on a forklift and raises but then completely obliterates a full pallet of orange juice cartons all over a wall.

His face turned a shade of purple I didn't recognize as there were enough rapid F bombs coming out to make Joe Pesci wince.

One of my first jobs was working on a kitchen line at a deli. I was working set up on the hot side which calls out everything that needed to be put down on the grill. Some coke head working there got pissed off because I was "telling him what to do" and threatened to kick my ass.

No, it wasn't funny, I was pretty pissed off and almost fought him. People joked about it later but no one was laughing when it was happening, it was pretty tense and awkward.

I don't know if all of them are but some/most of them definitely are. Like the one with the girl losing her shit and everyone around her is completely going about their business like nothing is happening.

once indirectly caused some bipolar woman to flip out curse at her manager then drove home in tears lmfao

she was going to get away with it too since her managers didn't want to write a report. so i wrote an anonymous one to HR directly and copied them all in rofl.

it's more of a revenge tactic. getting back at another i can understand this.
it's hilarious for some though. i admit that but not for you unfortunately.

It's more the laughing at bipolar that I don't find funny honestly

Im the HR guy at my work. Ive heard and seen a ton. There were different types of lose it

1. One guy yells out f*** all you people and walks out. He then gave everyone the silent treatment for about 2 weeks. If he wasnt there es bosss cousin he probably would have gotten fired. We never found out the reason for that. Funny thing is hes a die hard Golden State Warriors fan. When they won, he was perfectly back to normal the next work day.

2. Girl just starts crying out of nowhere. Happened multiple times. Since she was under my supervision I had to try to figure out what was going on. Her boyfriend in short broke her heart.

3. Multiple people talk s*** about me paying exact change when I can. Wtf. God forbid I want to get rid of small bills/coins and make the cashiers life easier.

4. New girl requests 2 weeks vacation. This was a few days after coming back from a 2week vacation which she took just a few days after getting hired. I immediately denied she request. She then said give me these days or I quit. I then said okay to write your letter.

5. Girl (same person from #2) comes to me with a complaint. She said that a coworker asked her on a scale of 0-100, whats the probability youd let me f*** you? That same guy was seen going through her car and smelling her bra. They almost got into a physical fight but I stopped them.

6. Girl starts crying when she found out one of her favorite NFL players tore his ACL.

7. Guy is an hour and a half late. I ask him why is he late. He yells at me for calling him out. Usually hes a nice guy and doesnt get mad. Turns out that morning he got a traffic ticket, so this one is somewhat justifiable.

8. I exposed a girl for being a stalker. Like, the kind youd get a restraining order for. She hates me anyway so it felt kinda good.

Not an angry freakout, but a coworker of mine was trying hard to get her schedule to fit with her nursing schooling and the managers were giving her a hard time, constantly scheduling her at times when she couldn't make it. Eventually they gave in, but instead of reasonably scheduling her they just severely cut down her hours to just 4 per week. With how frustrated she was at the whole thing she just broke down and cried when she found out about that.

She no longer works there (quit), but shit, she had a rough time. I felt bad for her.

out of all 8 that admiral_zero has posted only feel bad for #2. she could of gotten revenge on her boyfriend (not trying to injure him of course) and #7, sometimes cops are jerks that want to ruin someones day.
