It Was Bound To Happen
I've worked in a cubicle before, but never a cubicle city like the one above. That shit will make even the sanest bitch go nuts. These two videos of extreme workplace rage have been making the rounds on the internets. This dude is awesome. You know his co-worker just asked him, "Um....are those your papers that were left on the copy machine?"
The dude throws his monitor at some poor chick! He makes Michael Douglas from "Falling Down" look like a pussy.
That being said, this shit is probably fake. I mean, where's the annoying office manager screaming at him, "I'm going to write you up for this!!"
Above is footage from a security camera and below is footage from someone's celly.

Funny MK mentioned Falling Down. We recently ordered it on Netflix as it seems we have seen everything.
Favorite part was Michael Douglas stomping around East LA brandishing a golf club. That'll show them!
I wonder if that guy in the video went to work with just a sandwich in his (old, beat up, boxy brown fake leather) briefcase. You know, the kind of briefcase that some sad sacks carry to look VIP and instead it just breaks your heart it's so sad!
The best part is that while I was playing the video I unknowingly had my itunes on. It was playing "people revolution" by cascada. YES!
He's Hulking out! RAWR!

I watched this and instantly thought of that dude as John Krazinski from The Office. LMFAO! I hope they make this into an episode.

Where? From the bits of dialogue on the cell recording, it sounds like eastern Europe.
When? Hard to tell, but the cell cam technology's been around maybe five years or so... But the old CRT monitors have mostly gone away in large offices. Mostly. The desk chair in the foreground of the cell recording's either an Aeron or a knockoff, so that dates it no earlier than five years ago.
Real? Yeah, probably. Both the security cam and cell recordings are in sync. And seriously, people in situations like this often DO NOTHING. I've seen it first hand and had to step in -- like the time a man had a serious seizure during the day in a public area of the building and NOBODY moved. It's like they were waiting for directions. There's been a lot of study on this phenomenon from a psychological standpoint and a good article in last week's TIME magazine about it.
I worked in a cube for fifteen years and since I got downsized and found a new career with a lot of my day spent away from a desk, I sure don't miss it. No way would I ever go back to staring at a PC monitor all day and talking in whispers. EVER.
And my first thoughts were Office Space, too. Great references.
Dude went postal!!
It's not real because like someone said, there were no cables. Desktop computers always have 1000 of them. Plus people are just standing there looking. I would think most people would try to calm the guy down, call the police, leave the room because you don't know if he has a gun. Something.

If you are certain that's it's Chinese, sheeps----thank you for the correction. I just saw a lot of people with asian-black hair, and incomprehensible yelling.
Maybe this guy is just pissed off at their new Capitalism, then?
whoever made the comment about large, old-style monitors---that should have been my first clue that they weren't in Japan. My good friend lived in Tokyo for years, and from what he told me, old shit like that would have been thrown out long ago.

Run! It's the clergy!
wow, looks like someone put his calculator in jello!!!
was that andy bernard???
About time towards the end they grabbed him by the ankles on the desk that was my first thought when he jumped up there to grab him by the ankles and another person to jump on his chest... wow that was toooooooooooo nuts what a loser!
The version with the music is much more fun! Really energizing.

Diamond Dawg- your avie = what Heart Angelina did to her Vanity Fair after her last fan letter was ignored (again). The RAGE!

They werent speaking English that i could tell...and did they fricken taze him at the end...TWICE?? HA...wow.
Got to love how this shit is filed under "Fake Asses" :o)

They secretly substituted his decaf with regular. Little did they know how unfunny it would be.
I'm going to guess it's fake because there are too many CRT monitors... maybe I'm out of touch with the average business but aren't most on flat panel now?

Wow holy shit. I really wonder why this guy was so angry.

I found a video of the same thing on youtube, its called "Office Meltdown Remix" I'm guessing there is no audio on the original. Here's the youtube link if you want some music with that violence:

HAHAHA im at work now and dont have speakers on my computer but that made me burst out in laughter!

BEEEESSSHHHHHHH!

I couldn't get any vocals on the first clip. Anyone else? or is it just me and my 1992 computer?
HA! Madame D.....The Onion recently had a fake ad that was just like those ubiquitous "funny slogan" internet t-shirt ads (can't think of the company)......The Onion's version was "Do you like to quote things Will Ferrell said in movies?"
something like that...I agree, nothing beats a man who can come up with his own quips.
but if he uses the word 'quips,' he's probably gay.

That looked fake to me - when he picked up the monitor it just lifted right off the desk - we all know that monitors have a gazillion cables running under and around your desk which would make that not such an easy thing to do - plus the dude video taping being sure to stay out of the view of the camera - if chaos like that is happening you are not watching out for a camera... just sayin...
*Smile Bitches*
This has to be fake, right? Why weren't bitches RUNNING?
near the end he was saying "don't tase me, bro!"
That's funny. Those Eastern Europeans and their pent up anger would make for great reality TV.
He is SO not getting a raise at the next review.
it didn't sound like they were speaking (shouting?) Japanese. But it wouldn't surprise me if it was. I laughed my ass off when the guy was tasered. I was like,"what's that sizzling sound?"
I wanted to do that my last day at my previous job, but feared the lawsuits. The security at that place was an 75 year old grandpa whose only weapon was a flash light.
If I was at that office I'd throw a monitor at that wailing chick - wtf!?

Libby- it's better than dating an idiot who quotes OS on dates (and Top Gun, and any other movie you can think of) Guys who quote movies too much (or anything for that matter) = run. I'm my Mister D
does not. I told him it was one of the things that made me love him haha
I guess the team-building exercises didn’t work.

I'm sort of shy, and I'm not much of a talker, but if you poke me I'll probably rustle up a sentence or two.
that was a pretty good imitation of King Kong.

God, I love watching people freak out! But the monitor... YIKES!
BTW, I love "Falling Down". :)

Rotflao- Love the avie! Ha ha. How the hell did you get a jpg avie? I tried and I am remedial with anything remotely tech- so I could not figure how to resize. Dammit!
thanks Madame D.---I didn't know the phenomenon had a name, I've just heard the stories.
and I agree with the poster about drugs...give this guy a nice bong hit, a dark room, and maybe the movie "Office Space."
PC LOAD LETTER??!!!? I'm embarrassed to say I'm one of the thousands of sheep all over the world who uses quotes from OS when the fucking fax won't work! "Yeah, give it to me, yeah, that's what I want (hips moving back and forth)!"
"People stop and stare at me, we just walk on by.
We just keep on dreaming. Dreaming is free."
I'm waiting for this to happen in my office any day now...
By the way have you heard about Avril launching a fragrance? Eww... read about it at my link. (lol sorry, blatant plug there)

My first real job was in an office with a cubicle set-up just like that. It was not the confined area that made me find another job, it was the absolutely silent, mind-numbing office drones that drove me over the edge. You couldn't even ask those bitches a simple question and have them answer sufficiently! It was like being in high school detention.

this shit has to be fake. i mean, come on, there's a good couple of fatsos there that could have easily taken his crazy ass down. If i ever had a crazy ass coworker try and come scream at me like that, you can be sure dude would end up in the ER with a fucking heel thru his eyeball.
One thing i loved about it. Security Dude. Man, i would feel so safe with that guy around.
