I really was laughing out loud at that post. Seeing people pushed beyond endurance and throwing an utter benny is awesome.

Best one is they guy who has obviously been driven mental by the blonde's inane chitchat, so he trashes her phone .

She was damn hot tho, I'd 'trash her phone'

I wouldn't.

I'd make sure I was damn good at my job so that I knew hers inside out. Then whenever we were in a meeting together I could point out everything she had done wrong in her job behind her back to demolish her self esteem. I would also make sure I got girls to call me at work when I was away from the desk, so there would be messages from mysterious women waiting for me when I returned, to make it look like I was attractive to other women.

I would continue to undermine her performance at work until she was very close to getting fired, like make sure she got a few warnings, then I would approach her and offer my help as she was obviously a lovely girl and needed a few pointers. I'd do this around October time, and stop sending the emails behind her back too.

Then, at the christmas party, I would get her stinking drunk, ask her if I had been any help, work my charm and smash her from behind over the bosses desk.

The guy that is trying to print something out kept getting screwed by the machine, so he tears out his monitor and shoves it onto the scanner to get his copy

Working in an office with a load of buggers you can't stand is my idea of hell. I don't blame these guys for losing it.

Steve Ward says that pressure and stress are the same thing, it's only stress when it is too much for you to handle and it starts to have bad effects on your performance. He says that in extreme circumstances you can either Thrive (+30%), Survive (-) or Dive (-30%) on your normal levels of performance.

Sometimes pressure brings the best out in you.

Man I love these 80s trading movies and documentaries. Is there a website where I can find a collection? Many of them have great insights about the whole business we are in.

coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

what were you doin? got any war stories?

I was a spot broker for 10 yrs, then moved to OTC options mkt.
War stories? i think many years of partaking copious amts of alcohol and various other stimulants, has fried my brain. I can remember we used to send any new female ticket clerks, down to the floor below, with the strict instructions once she got on the trading floor, to shout loudly " Has anyone seen Mike Hunt ? "
To which a load of brokers would shout back " Not yet, you've only just started darling"
Also, there was a trainee once, broker gave him £50 note to go and get him lunch, and told the trainee to get something for himself.
Trainee came back an hour later, hands the broker his sandwich, and a fiver in change.
Broker looks at the fiver and says " where the **** have you been, and wheres the rest of my ****ing change ?? "
Trainee says, " you told me to get something for myself!"
Broker says " Yeah ?? "
Trainee - " i bought myself a pair of shoes"
