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.

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

I don't care about people yelling at me, happens often when I drive my tractor into town or just on the road as cars stack up. I get the finger a lot, but I just pretend they're waving and I wave back. My wife yells at me a lot and I don't even hear it anymore. I find people that yell amusing and I look at them amused. Just don't touch me...

My wife of 41 years yells at me a lot too deservedly, especially when I'm not wearing my hearing aids. She gets her 66 yr.old locks tinted blond...I refer to her as Ol' Yeller...and run for the mancave!

It's probably safe to say that the pain of being yelled at certainly diminishes as ones hearing ability fades. There's a point in life that it goes from being an irritant to being a source of comedy. Few things are funnier than an angry ranter with his volume muted.

A principal on a school here in Denmark have forbidden his teaches to yell. He has also forbidden them to give the student a scolding
