I once had a client point the ink side of his pen (like it was a lazer pointer) at my PowerBook screen and then proceed to poke it.
I almost snapped his fingers off and killed him.
Please, regale us with tales of you freaking out on clients or of general office mayhem.

Had a pushy NY bitch on the phone. She kept calling and I finally answered. Told her that I was busy and I would call her back.
She said, "No, I need you to take care of this now. I don't have time to wait for you to call me back". Now, first instinct is to call her a pushy cunt. But I didn't.
Reminded her that I was busy and that I would call her back...and hung up. Turns out her office was sick of her being a pushy cunt also and she was let go 2 weeks later.
- I hope you called her back right after she was let go.boobs

I've wanted to flip out on clients so many times... same goes for vendors, well, once at a photographer and then four or five times at printers. But, then I have to remind myself that I've made my share of mistakes in the past. I think when clients really get under your skin and cross boundaries, then by all means fire them (if you're in a position to do so), and of course if you can afford it.

Does making an uncomfortable silence and a 30-second stare at them count?

I missed out on a physical rumble between a studio manager and a designer once because I was running late one morning... it was meant to be HILARIOUS
- gentleman0
actually I was once in the middle of a tense dinner out with clients as the client name dropped (unknowingly) the brother of the studio manager and called him a c*nt everyone he was 'under-endowed and an underperformer and would love to slap the mom for creating such a waste of a human being'
the studio manager got up gave the client a backhand and walked off - i swiftly drank all the drinks on the table and excused myself to get more.
came back and was left with a weeping client and proceeded to get her so so so drunk and convinced her that she got her bruises from walking into a post on the way home.
it was tense

In my mind I am constantly showering them with saliva as I explode forth with “fuck this, fuck that, fuck you, FUCK the fuck OFF!”
In my mind...

- Sadly, that’s where it all happens.

I went toe to toe nose to nose with a Project Manager once.
He approved something late night, I stayed and packaged it up and sent it out to the printer and first thing he had major changes.
He kept calling my extension every 15 minutes asking if the file was up so I finally asked him if he thought he could do it any faster.
I could hear him slam his phone down and run through the cubical maze to confront me. He kinda charged at me so I stood up ready to defend myself. He was a cock but we laughed at it after a few hours. A few months later we were both laid off.

I prefer to swear at my boss.

PMs are full of shit. They're under intense pressure to justify their existence.
- but sometimes they actually are worth their weight...powertoni
- PMs are nothing but clerks in my mind, taking orders and then relaying them back to usimnotadesigner
- I'm glad they exist, I had to share their weight once, whilst designing. Pain in the arse. They are wankers thoRincks

I'm not a morning person, generally speaking. I work in an office full of uber-nerdy, socially awkward types, all of whom seem completely incapable of regulating the volume of their voice. I think that's honestly when I come closest to abusing the fuck out of my colleagues, because it's entirely unnecessary.
As for abusing clients, these days it's all done in a terribly polite way with a smile on your face.... it's great watching the look on their face as they realise you're giving them shit, not being nice to them.

I told my boss he was arrogant. I'm still alive, in a job and i got a $1000 boss just before Jewish New Year.
I should call him arrogant again. :)
