Fights at the Office

I was just reading about the charity Wall Street boxing match that was held a while and it had me wondering if real fights ever occur between coworkers? Obviously there can be a lot of tension/competition . Have you guys ever seen any good fights break out on the trading floor or in your office?

 

We had a fight on the trading floor once. It was awesome! Two FX spot traders. It was a long time coming, though. I had been instructed to take a wheel off of the chair of one of the traders involved. When the guy fell over, he got pissed off that the other trader was laughing at him (and just generally pissed that someone had removed one of the wheels on his rolling-chair).

There must have been 250 rubber-neckers. Best day ever.

 

Semi-related question from someone not employed yet-- When you're employed FT, is there that One Person at your job who is absolutely annoying and deserves a right to the gut on a daily basis? This is how it was in virtually all my college classes-- that one guy who asked all the dumb questions, acted way too buddy-buddy with the prof, or generally got on everyone's nerves?

Great post.
