I was pulling the left front inner fenderwell off of a cobalt, and bam, i heard a gunshot. So i freak out and drop to a crouch, my heart rate went up to like 190 bpm and my adrenaline was pumping. I realized it was the service writer with the ****ing hammer.
I did some breathing exercises, calmed down, but was still flipping out inside, so i went to get another tool.
I come back, and he is making fun of my disorder, even jumbling up the letters on purpose, with a big grin on his face. I snapped.
"Its ****ing called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder mother ****er, next time you want to do that **** to me, i am going to knock you in the ****ing face."
He said, "you better not threaten me, i..."
And then i went for him. My manager jumped in between us and pushed me away. I stormed outside to chill out. Later my manager came out and said that he understood why it happened, but that i shouldn't resort to violence. I apologized to him and didnt see the service writer for the rest of the day.
Still have my job. What are yalls' views on what happened?

Just scored a deal on a new, never installed APN header for $100.
Also...mandrel downpipes are almost impossible to find. What do y'all think of this:
