I went to the mall to get a CD the other day. A "metro" guy was working in the store. He came over and asked if he could help me find something. I said no. I had the strange urge to punch him in the face. I found what I was looking for and took it to the counter. He says "Did you find what you were looking for?"
I got it in my fargin hand don't I?
I know he was trying to be helpful but now I really had an overpowering desire to punch him. Just reach across the counter, pull him forward and punch him right in the face. Is this a normal thought process that occurs once in a while or should I be in an anger management program?
I'd go with the latter. A little hostile lately?
I get the urge to punch people in the face all the time. I haven't followed through on it in years. I think that's probably a good thing, but the urge is still alive and kicking.
the guy who works the cash register in the company cafeteria does this. i dont eat their but get my coffee in the mornings...he says (as i have the coffee and exact change for him): "Is that all?"
um....dumb shtein...if i wanted something else, i would have gotten it before i came up to you!

That wasn't a spontaneous urge. That dude asked for it, I warned him, and then he got hit. I think Yeti is refering to people with all of their limbs who just look like they could use a few knuckles in the eye.
Perfectly normal, Yeti. I'd be concerned if you didn't want to punch people in the face.
Today, I want to punch the Accenture consultant who keeps sending me the same tests with the same defect over and over. Dude..I got it. Now let me punch you in the face!!
Most Accenture employees could use a nice shot to the jaw.
I have resisted the urge to punch anyone in the face for well over a year now.
As long as someone understands that you have the urge to punch them in the face you can get half the satisfaction of actually punching them without having to do so. Problems come up when they don't notice you fighting this urge.
it's pretty standard for retail clerks to ask if you've found everything. Trust me, there's plenty of idiot shoppers who have no clue where they are or what they're doing.
For instance, while working at Borders (on Michigan Ave), Randy Johnson came up to the music department. A co-worker asked for his autograph and Unit said "not now". The co-worker, dejected, came over to the Information desk where i was stationed to fill me in on his autograph situation. I told him, "don't worry. he'll come over here (a desk clearly marked "INFORMATION DESK" with a sign that says "PAY DOWNSTAIRS") to see if he can pay. Sure enough, he brought his stack of Allman Brothers CDs over and said "can I pay here?"
dumbass.
I wanted to punch Billy Corgan in the face when he came in for a Doors Boxed Set, but that had more to do with the fact that he's Billy Corgan.

Because it's a good idea to piss off a guy that can throw a 100 mph fastball.

I imagine he could throw an Allman Brothers CD pretty hard.

Or my personal favorite .. meet the guys for beers and wings every Monday night. Bill usually comes to say 20-25 bucks. You give the gal say 30 bucks and her response is always "
do you want your change back" OF Couse I want my change back. . .I'll leave my tip on the table for you.

So you're okay with him swinging his purse at your head?

Considering he's a lifetime .127 hitter, I'd take my chances.
i'll say this about the big unit. he's produces the 2 single greatest baseball highlights in my opinion...
1- hitting the bird in mid flight
2- getting john kruk to shtein himself in the all star game
In the guy's defense, you could have not found what you were looking for and bought some consolation item.
i just got back from getting new tires on my truck and the guy who ran the place was a huge icehole. he had a shtein attitude, grey crusty face and u could tell he was a lifetime smoker. i wanted to punch him in the eye and do him a favor.

Very true.
And it's completely natural to get the urge to pummel someone, like chuggie likes to toss salad ;D. I often get that urge when I see those punkies with the fipped up collars on polo shirts....those kids piss me off.
read about how awesome my striped shirt is. (http://www.phat5.com/features.asp?StoryID=239&SectionID=11)
I want to punch this guy in the face every time i go out on the weekends.
Best Buy has 3 goobers with blue shirts for every customer. I sometimes wonder if they plan ahead of time to F with us by standing at opposite ends of the aisle and alternating turns. I also love when you confuse the hell out of them by walking to the next aisle over and having them ask you a second time. That shows they aren't paying attention when they ask....damn young adult robots... :P

And then, when you really do need them... nowhere to be found. :boom
The only thing any of you have ever punched is the clown.

Not a day goes by where I don't wish I could punch a few people in the head. People at work, people who come into my work, my boss, people who piss me off when I'm driving and people I see in the stores.
The sheer stupidity of some people should be reason enough to ball up your fist and crush their eyesockets without being arrested.
LOL. Angry Jay always makes me laugh.
:-D
Anyway, I had the urge to punch a guy in the face just tonight. I took my kid to a baseball game and after we got into the park, we made our way to the concession stands. We're standing in line for our refreshments and this idiot is standing in front of us trying to decide what he wants to eat, drink... you know, whatever.
So, he decides, pays his bill and goes to walk away when all of a sudden his fat, toothless, shirtless, reaking of B.O. buddy walks up next to him and orders something. I'm standing there looking at this little punkass bitch, and I swear to God, if my daughter wasn't standing there holding my hand, I would have jacked him the farg up right then and there.
Instead, I said, "yo, we're next... back of the line, chief." He went to say something and before he could, I cut him off and started placing my order with the girl behind the counter. He actually didn't say anything else. He just turned around and walked (stumbled, actually) away with a look of complete amazement on his face.
Moral of the story: If the Phillies Single-A team is playing in Daytona, don't bring your child with you to the game. Instead, bring a $20 roll of quarters along with you in case some shtein-kicking hick pisses you off and you feel like beating his face to a bloody pulp.
Instead of battling people at work all day, I spend most of my time working with a lot of delicate and expensive scientific equipment. Equipment that often fails. To give you an idea of how annoying this crap can be, I came into work at 8am Eastern today and I'm still there now and probably will be until 3am or so.
A pretty good percentage of my waking moments is spent thinking about how I want to take an axe to all this shtein, or at least toss it out the window or into the face of my boss.
Talk about wanting to punch someone:
I teach 8th grade- 13 and 14 year olds.
I like to say a little prayer in the morning, trying to collect my thoughts and get my soul/psyche prepared to face the day.
Sometime, though, my prayer is simply this: "Lord, help me to not kill one of them today."
:evil

Bell = God.
You can't punch God in the face, Ed. Well, not more than once, anyway.
PS: Nice abuse of smilies. :-D
I am glad I posted this.
Now I see that these feeling are normal.
Or, could it be that we all want to punch somebody in the face because we are all Eagles fans?
