Wow.

Dude reeeeeeeeaally cares about his cows.

But then again, this is India (which is majority Hindu) that believes the cow is revered as the symbol of unselfish giving among animals... when cows aren't milked, they are not happy... so not milking them would almost be blasphemous.

But is it enough to behead someone? Doubt it.

So at times, I've been known to blow things way out of proportion... especially if something else is bothering me that can't be addressed. Haven't beheaded anyone.

Yet.

So what was the worst overreaction you all have done?

I can't say any of my piddly little outbursts are even worth mentioning. That dude must really take his cows serious though. To lose your head over an upset cow seems a little much even in an area that cows are regarded that highly.

i was avoiding posting about this at all costs but i guess ..... i have nothing better to do at work

so what the heck ....

my worst overreaction was during the pumpking carving contest ....

and, it wasnt because i didnt win ... it was actually because

i spend nearly 6 hours carving a stupid "mad scientist with a potion"

just to find out the contest had ended the previous night ....

i was so f*cking pissed .... of course not at everybody but myself for not reading

properly .... i punched the freaking wall to later on end up having to PAY for the repair

as my hand went all the way trought ...

(my hand was ok but my pocket hurt for a long time )

not to mention that we got a write up notice from the stupid building manager

for damaging the private property .... (very VERY stupid of me)

Geez, I wonder how that worked out in the employee handbook...

1st offense: verbal warning

2nd: written warning

3rd: Counseling

4th: Termination.

Maybe the poor guy thought it meant he'd JUST lose his job!
