Today, my coworker got angry at a mean customer. She came to the back where I work and started punching the wall repeatedly. When I tried to intervene and stop her from breaking her hand, she punched me in the stomach and uppercut me. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, while at work, I was asked if I wanted to leave early. I said no and let my coworker go instead. Two hours later, I was punched in the face by one of my patients, with absolutely no warning or provocation. FML
Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML
Today, I was on my way to work behind a very slow car. At a red light, the lady came over and punched me in the face for following her too closely. We are coworkers and our desks are next to each other. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, my co-worker threw a rubber mallet at my face, and I broke my finger in the process of saving my face. She then told me to "take it up with HR, bitch". She's the HR manager. FML
Today, I tried to break up a fight between two of my coworkers. They decided to show their gratitude by smashing me in the face with a thick ceramic dish. FML
Today, an angry customer from my old job and punched me in the face before screaming; “You thought you’d seen the last of me?” I moved seven states over and she followed me here just to do that. FML
Today my Assistant Manager decided to pull a prank on me by walking up behind me and screaming my name. I screamed in terror and then swung around and punched him, full force, dead center in the chest, right in front of my supervisor, manager, and several other employees. FML
Today, I briefly had the coolest boss in the world. He stormed over to a nasty customer who was giving me hell, and he absolutely laid into her. It lasted about 10 seconds before he collapsed from a major heart attack. A coworker's already blamed me for not pacifying the customer in the first place and causing all this to happen. FML
Today, I found out my coworker was arrested for beating the crap out of his wife. I gave him a serious pep talk yesterday where I told him to stop taking her shit and start standing up for himself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The punch to the gut could have been an accident, but the uppercut was directed at you intentionally. No one uppercuts a wall. You'll scrape your knuckles!

i would definitely report her. Such anger in general is not normal and attacking u when u are trying to help... unacceptable. Yes u can be angry at a costumer. Yes u can express ur anger, but not in this violent way. Its just so unprofessional.

No good deed goes unpunished

Dude, that was assault. Report her ass and get some compensation. It's understandable to get frustrated/angry but to lose control, to the point that you damage yourself/property/others? That's some serious, deep-rooted anger issues that needs to be worked out on her end.

Anger management seems like a must for her. No matter the circumstances, the way she went ballistic on you is not acceptable.

Yeah that really sucks. Next time try not to egage at all with physically aggressive customers. Just call security or the police and let them handle it.

It wasn't a customer, but a crazy coworker. I agree though, don't engage and call someone.
