So...not 10 minutes into the day, 2 of the 3 partners in my company (brothers, to be exact), start screaming at each other. Literally.
To sum it up, here's my favorite quote.

"I'M NOT ARGUING WITH YOU! I'M NOT ARGUING WITH YOU!!!!"

3rd partner comes in. They go into one of the offices. We hear much, much, much screaming.

Me and my coworker just sorta...look at each other.

I went out for a cigarette to hide once they came back into the office, nonsmoking coworker comes out with me. It's realllllllly uncomfortable in here right now. Thankfully, all 3 have vanished again.

Ugh.

Eesh.

Funny.

I was once working for our State Senate Judiciary Committee. The lead Counsel comes storming out of the Committee room at the end of the session, yells a giant "Fuck!" then kicks the metal cabinet that stores old bills. Dents it.

Two weeks later I was so mad at a co-worker for being an idiot that I have to go walk it off, yet the lead Counsel chastises me for not being able to hold my anger in....

Of course, I never yelled or kicked anything, just walked away. But yet I am the one who can't hold it in. I think I had to add a little distance to my walk after he said that.

The Republicans, when I worked for them, were never this stressed out.

What are they arguing about?

If you don't know, make something up... you know, just to keep the thread interesting.

ORIGINALLY.

It was because we got our first power bill in our new office.

We have these gigantic AC units in here. The bill was...sizable.

God knows where it went from there. Everywhere, I'd bet.

Watch your back CW, this has the makings of a potential America's Most Wanted episode, or Dominick Dunne novel ("The brothers, who were once close, let their business disagreements eat at them until there was nothing left but a bitter resentment and rage. This is a story of lies, betrayal and murder.").

FOFC 101: "Formidable" or "colossal" would be a better adjective to use in this case.

What? Now they've decided to kiss and make up and are having an orgy in there or something?

If you saw the people I worked with, you wouldn't even joke about that. Unless of course, you enjoy gouging your eyeballs out and vomiting for 67 straight hours.

I hope CW doesn't have to pass them in order to get to the bathroom or the refrigerator.

Unlike the breakup sex thread, this was done most behind closed doors.

Mostly.
