Have you ever screamed "F**k" at the top of your lungs at work

[blondeatlast]

and gotten away with it?

I have, and I'm NOT a performer, I'm a library assistant!

1. No, but I have screamed FUCK!

[7th_Sephiroth]

2. yeah

at an office party after some harsh tequila

[meegbear]

3. Yes, when Kerry officially conceded ....

They understood.

4. Mine was when I opened a box of donated books and got stung by a scorpion.

Mind you, my office is on the middle floor of a 5 story building, and is not in a public area. The building is made largely of stainless steel and glass, and yes, I was heard on EVERY floor.

I'm kind of proud of this fact--it even got reported to the mayor's office!

5. hello from a librarian

:hi:

can't remember screaming FUCK but have cursed often enough more or less loud.

10. How's your budget (if your public)?

Ours is in serious crisis, layoffs are rumored and a hiring freeze is firmly in effect.

I suspect I'll be saying a few epithets all the way till May 23, when whatever they plan to do is finalized.

11. I'm working in a musuems library

budget is not too good, but compared to other departments (graphic dept.) at least we got a budget.

6. No, but I have had someone scream it at me at work...

He was a fellow programmer with, it turned out, a crystal meth addiction. I got the "F*** YOU!" reply one day for simply asking how things were going. He then threatened to quit on the spot because I had spoken to him. (He finally did quit, vanishing with a company computer filled with proprietary source code. Several of the senior members of the company had to track him down, finally cornering him at a cheap motel a half-hour's drive away.)

A couple of years after that, he came back to apologize to everyone. I guess he had gotten into a 12-step program and was back to make amends. I don't know if the program "took" or not, but a few years later, I found an on-line interview with him where he was describing himself as the only competent programmer at the company, and attacking the character and abilities of the one person who had tried the most to help him.

7. When they installed new carpeting

in our office, we had them leave this big long cardboard tube that the carpet had been rolled on. We hung it from the ceiling at head level, parallel to the ground, in a back hallway and called it our yelling tube. If you ever needed to vent you could go in the back hallway, put your mouth up to the tube and yell whatever you wanted, as loud as you wanted. The sound was absorbed pretty well by the yelling tube so it wouldn't disturb other people too much.

8. No. I work in a church so I have to be REAL careful!

Because my instinct is indeed to scream that word at the top of my lungs.

9. No, but I did yell "FUCK ROBERT DENIRO!" in a strip mall parking lot once

The West Columbia SC police were NOT noticeably amused. I had just seen The Deerhunter and was very very very very upset by it. Have never seen another Vietnam movie since.

12. I used to work in a kitchen

and they had a big walk-in fridge, with a walk-in freezer through there. If you went in the freezer and shut the door, you could curse at the top of your lungs and no-one would hear a thing. Especially good for relieving frustration (the manager was quite unpleasant).

13. I did it when I was working at a xmas tree lot

Dislocated my shoulder "FUCCCKKKK!!!"

Families were all around picking out their trees.
