Most people claim they'd do something really bad when pushed to edge wouldn't they at work? You've had a bad day, you want to hit something or someone and you have just had enough...

...but what if someone you worked with had some sort of mental issue that they didn't tell you?

Well, welcome to the "World of Dave and Morrisons" where the other day someone named Adam had decided that he'd had enough. And he wasn't going to take it being talked to the wrong way...

...you see, Adam has a rare condition that makes him black out and go on a complete rampage. I'm not entirely sure what it is called but he has it. Someone had pushed way too far and he finally pushed the deputy manager to the wall claiming that he "wasn't taking anymore shit from you".

He tried to threaten to punch her but then ended up punching a load of fridges and walls. Took off his hat, threw it in the face of our manager and said "That's it, I'm off."

Adam then took a huge box of cheese threw them around and kicked them and then left in a complete rage.

The next day, he had no recollection of what he had done. None whatsoever. And now faces a lot of problems from the people he works with...

So my moral to you is this, if you have a problem mentally, tell everyone otherwise you'll regret it. And you'll end up just like Adam, a nice guy with a destructive dark side, apologising for something that wasn't his fault at all.

that's what you get for being an equal opportunities employer :tongue:

I thought Argoose was as well!

Cruel, cruel world...

A best friend of mine developed schizophrenia two years ago after gettig out of prison. He was only in prison for 3 months but when he got out the damage was already done.

The problem with mental issues is that many disorders are so subtle you don't know you have them. It's a lot different to physical injuries like broken legs. There, the damage is plain for all to see. However, how can you convince someone that you're mentally ill? Who's gonna believe you? Such is the social stigma with mental disorders.

I thought everyone was a little bit ill in the head. Otherwise why would we laugh at people or animals dying in films etc?

Mental illness is frightening.

My old land lord suffered terrible bouts of anger. I once had to pull him off someone that worked for him. His crime was to have shown him "no respect by looking at him funny". It really scared me and I left soon afterwards - I thought it could be me one day on the end of that.

My workplace is giving me psychological problems. :(

I am convinced either Will or CharlesP will go on a rampage at some point and start throwing monitors at people's heads.

That would be difficult in my office. The monitors are those "swivel" ones with movable arms fixed to the desk.

You could swivel it really quickly back and forth. I am sure that would annoy some people.
