Today, I thought it would be a great idea to tell my coworker to calm down when he appeared to be very uptight. He thought it would be a great idea to punch me right in the face. FML

Looks like both of you need to re-evaluate what a good idea is

No, violence is never the answer. It's the question. Yes is the answer.

Well OP, now you learned something. Keep more distance next time!

YDI for telling people what to do

Yeah because one shouldn't try to help their coworkers at work or anything of that nature.

Though he didn't deserve the punch in the face, telling someone to calm down isn't helping. If the co-worker was enraged or stressed, dealing with issues and asking what you can do is helpful.

"You look stressed, what can I do to help?" "Hold still..." *POW!*

hehe, better than "You look stressed. Hey, do you know what I find helps with that?! Not being stressed."

Exactly! Telling a person to calm down when they're stressed is just stupid and thoughtless. I can understand wanting to punch someone for that.

Hate when someone tells me to "calm down" that always pisses me off even more i would've said "you need to relax" they just love that..ydi

Today, some guy at work told me to 'calm down'. I was very calm, so I punched him in the faces

Well, OP probably should have just left that guy alone... If he's all pissed off and unpredictable, I would have.

Maybe you shouldnt be such a bitch to coworkers. :)

No no you made a typo. Here I'll correct it. FALCON PAWWWNNNCH!!!! Its okay I forgive you.
