The Workplace....Have You Ever Been Assaulted?

I found this in the news this morning.....

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A case of bad behavior has ended up as a viral video. A South Florida doctor was caught on camera physically and verbally attacking an Uber driver in the heart of Brickell.

It reminds me that I've been attacked & threatened by a few of my tenants.
One actually resulted in wrestling match when a commercial tenant attacked me.

Anyone else ever have the customer from Hell?

Btw, I carried a concealed handgun at the time, but thought it was best to keep it hidden & holstered, instead physically subduing the guy. (I was younger & dumber, but it worked out well.)

Does, the earth is my workplace and knowing someone is carrying a concealed handgun count for (emotional) assault?

He could have taken her...

No.

True, but guys don't hit women.

Did I just say that?
Oh, dear!

I am quite tall and imposing, and have sometimes been hidden behind.

I was actually about to say this, that this usually only happens in countries where women have been assured men will never (or should never) hit them.

I'll remember that next time I want to hide.

When working the Emergency Room I get screamed at regularly, and need to physically restrain patients frequently, but am actually attacked only rarely.
Luckily we're well staffed with nurses, emergency medical technicians and security personnel, who know the drill. Physical and chemical restraints usually take care of the problem.

I once worked in a fast food place. One evening two guys who had a bit too much to drink started to interfere with the girl who was emptying the litter bin. I went to try and sort things out but one of them rammed his head into my elbow. They then moved away a considerable distance and uttered threats. It's tough in fast food

Does it count that many years ago I was a security person in a hospital that had a mental health and detox unit...and in 3 months had 60 confrontations while on the job.

Yes.
Did any of them survive?

 

[Wu Wei]

Yes.
Did any of them survive?

All of them.....that's my story...and I'm sticking to it.

You just have not lived until a bleeding, IV drug using, Heroin addict comes at you and you have not had time to put on any gloves...... or a self professed CIA killer..... or a Pro Wrestler...gets me all sorts of misty and nostalgic for the bad old days

Only if we get to count insipid, melodramatic posts like this one as a form of assault as well.
