Some guy got caught on video going really ape-shit at the office!
He basically disassembles the office and practically tries to heave all the office parts at his fellow workers.
Clickity Clicko ( link fixed )
..and another angle..
I've never seen any co-worker go this mental at the office in person, but at my first job as a Cub Foods cart clerk, I saw a lot of customers go mental. For instance, saw one guy cross the street and get tapped on the leg by the bumper of a car on the road. The guy then starts yelling at the driver and starts pounding the drivers window. The driver was stuck behind a big line of cars, but manages to squeeze out and drive on the wrong side of the road (this is a parking lot road btw). The dude who got hit then jumps on the car (a volkswagon rabbit) and pounds on the roof as the driver cruises down the wrong side of the road, over speed bumps at 20mph, with the angry dude holding on and pounding away on the roof! Quite entertaining.
Anyone see any rage @ the workplace?? | |

i just bought a fixed gear bike. i've been riding single speed for two years. it's great.
i really want to freak out in public, but i've never been anonymous enough. i grew up in a small town where you wouldn't be able to get away with something like that.
where's Spark? he has a great story about a guy spilling coffee on him.

I just remembered, this happened in 2005:
so i'm riding home right? (i love when people say "right?" all the time)
and i'm cruising down Old South Rd and there's a big clot down by the turnoff to Amelia drive. So i don't change my pace or anything, thinking I'll just breeze through on my right of way privileges. and there's this lady in a silver car making a right turn, so instead of trying to sneak between her and the curb, i skidded out and tried to edge myself between her and the car behind her. unfortunately i was going too fast and didn't lean enough into the skid and nicked the back of her car with my tire. i made a really messy mounting and escape too. well, as i rode by, she rolled down her window and said
"STOP! What's your name!".
I yelled back, "Why? Your car is fine, what do you want to do? Sue me? I have right of way!"
Then I continued riding as fast as I could, but not frantically. Then, to my surprise, she drove up once again, and pulled right in front of me, cutting me off and forcing me to swerve out into the road, almost running me into other cars.
She yelled once again, "what's your name?"
I replied thoughtfully, "fuck you!"
Then she once again chased me and pulled into a dirt road that leads to the State Forest. I took the right and bolted down the road into the trees. She followed me says my neighbor who later called me. My heart was beating like the rabbits I did not see. Actually, there might have been one in my driveway.
I was thankful that my neighbor called. my tactfulness and appreciation exonerated my sins and she reassured me that the lady was in fact crazy.
I must say, I wish this kind of thing could happen more often. There's no feeling like that of raw emotional rebel spirit. There's no feeling like blood pumping through your veins, adrenaline flowing, and your throat parched. There's no feeling like getting home and wishing you'd smashed into her car too.

So it looks like at least one local PDX tv station picked this up as "news", at least they acknowledge it might be fake...
In other PDX news, a mini goat rode a bus.

sweettrip said: "people are cowards sometimes. half of that office could have taken that guy down easily without hurting him." fuck that! let him go until it runs its course. how often do you get to see a coworker go apeshit? someone steps and is willing to destroy your workplace (which you guaranteed don't give fuck all about if you worked in that cubicle hell) and you want to stop him? bullshit! cheer him on.
wacky priorities with some of you. sheesh.

sweettrip said: "i jabbed his rear window and cracked it, then pounded on his back door making a pretty big dent. i then tried to kick one of his light off but he then sped off... cock sucker." yeah, i make a point to kick cars really hard as they go by in downtown on one way streets if they turn in front of me without looking. i swear... i have the walk sign, i've just stepped into the street, and these dicks fly into the intersection staring to the *left* while they turn right. which is really idiotic considering that they have a green light in a system of one way streets, meaning there is no cross traffic *at all*. a quick glance to check for someone running the red is all you need. if i have to jump out of the way, i make sure to kick the fuck out of their car while doing so.
and destroy cubiles.

oh, what's with the green box thing for bikes? i don't get it. why is it a good idea for bikes to pile in front of cars at stop lights? especially on a hills.. wtf? why can't they single file in the bike lane? i'm sure there is some part of this bike box thing i don't understand so please .. splain it to me. in some places, bikes end up going the same speed as cars -- especially at the bottom of hills. this can, and does, result in a car that's making a right turn *into* a bicyclist in their blindspot. the green box puts the bicyclists in front of the car in the only place a car can make a right turn. if you recall, this claimed some lives last year.
though i agree that the promo signs do shit to explain how they work.

that makes sense. but cars are always turning right into the bike lane. i guess putting them in front of cars if possible is a good thing.
the ones going uphill though don't make sense. there's one right on broadway at a light near the shnitz. a crowded spot there so maybe that's why it's there. anyway- they do need to do some splaining to edumacate people as to why it's there instead of just saying "get behind the box" or whatever. at least they are doing something and trying to fit bikes and cars on the road together instead of just letting people fend for themselves.
and yeah.. the right turn claimed someone at the bottom of the hill at insterstate and greeley and at burnside and 14th (?) right?
a friend of mine got hit from behind by a car going 40+ mph. he was in a bike lane! and it launched him into the grass and he got a HUGE gnarly gash on his leg. he was otherwise OK and quite lucky if you ask me.

hmmm... downtown does make sense, though, because the cars and bikes all do about the same. the lights are timed for bike speed, which means cars will usually end up doing the same average speed. next time you're on broadway and you get a red light, after it turns green, travel 15mph and play chicken with the rest of the lights. they'll all turn green right when you get to the intersection. wherever there is a right turn over a bike lane with bikes and cars going the same speed, there's an increased risk of a squished cyclist... even at low speeds. i've been very close to squished in the pearl.
not that every single right turn needs a box, but busier areas could use 'em.
