This picture is a clear indicator of the rise in tensions. It's a pity Tarjak/Grant who took the picture didn't get our 'friend' inshot.

I grew up in a family of yellers. It did have an effect on me and is probably one of the reasons why I don't yell at people.



But I agree, if someone yells at me, I have unpleasant flashbacks.

I'm not at all fond of people who need to dominate other people. I have a friend who I made exception for because at least he knew his ****, but that exception for him has grown exceedingly tiresome over the years.

My therapy instructor once said I was auto-aggressive. I don't know what he meant by that, but I gave him one to be on the safe side.






Old psychologist joke.

Almost the same here, only different here it was my parents who on daily basis yelled at each other...couple of years later they got divorced.

So when someone yell at me or at some others I get unpleasant flashbacks

Parents need to understand the effect that can have on their kids.



I am just glad that, unlike some other parents, I was able to break the cycle and not continue like my parents did

I had a few times Site Supervisors yelled at me.
Those went REAL BAD for them! Case in point:

I was at a Home Depot getting materials when a Super called me on the phone.
He started yelling at me and cussing me out for reporting him to his Boss.
I told him to stay right at the site I'd be there in 15 minutes then hung up.
I left the materials without checking out, got in the Van and headed back.
I called my Boss and told him what was going on and told him I was going to beat that Guy to near death! I then hung up and shut off my phone!

I arrived at the Site, kicked the door open, and walked in with my Estwing hammer in hand with the full intent of caving in his skull!
My Boss had warned him I was coming and the arse hole ran as soon as he saw me walk in!

The next day HIS BOSS flew from Ohio to Florida to resolve the issue.
The results were he lost his job and to this day his Boss just likes the heck out of me!

That Company has told EVERY Project Manager and Supervisor yelling at me is NOT ACCEPTABLE and will have a bad out come one way or the other!

I still do a lot of work all over the USA for them and am on the preferred list for demolition projects.
Most recent jobs coming up are in Kokomo, Indiana and Reno, Nevada.


If an employee gets me to the point I feel I need to yell at him?
I end up with one less employee.

Well getting irritated at being yelled at is one thing, but to me setting out on a declared intent to murder someone with a freaking hammer implies a seriously dangerous lack of self control. I'd have fired you on the spot for even making such a threat about a coworker and would have reported the incident to the law.

Maybe you're just talking crap but God forbid you actually carried it out. I would not want to have to explain to a grieving family member why I didn't say anything when there was a still chance to stop you.

If this story is true, you are lucky that criminal charges were not placed on you

I love the 28 oz straight cawl waffle head. For those of us who still own this hammer.It is a classic work and combat hammer.

Well Jeff there's always an older man who think's your a threat or a younger man who think's your to old.

I always admired the geologist hammer for getting serious meaning across
