What's the most legendary work meltdown you've seen?

Damnit! I'm late to the party again. Well here I go anyways. I was out on an audit with an older co-worker of mine ( early 60s ). He's a nice guy, if you aren't a liberal. So we were in a conference room and he was using my work laptop, he doesn't really uses technology. So he was typing up all the findings he had and I left the room for a second. When I came back he was cursing up a storm, yelling at the computer, and was all around pissed. He claimed MS Word just deleted all his typing, even after he saved it. After trying to calm him down, my boss ( not so much his boss ) tells him to take a walk, in her little Indian accent voice, it was pretty funny. So he and I go for a walk, come back and he claims he can't retype it because the first time was "beautiful and perfection", said he would rather kill himself at this point. So we move on with the audit, them he starts with the computer again and I guess it deletes it again. But this time, instead of saying something, he pushes the laptop off the desk out of frustration and starts to curse again. The guy from the county we were auditing, comes in and I say I tripped on the charging cord to cover it up. He leaves and I put the laptop on the table. I then start it back up and it turned on, but he was furious still. I tell him I'll try to recover it again ( not successful the first time ) and in a somewhat thresting voice, he said "you better fucking recover that" luckily I did and he was able to finish it. But now my manager refuses to go with him on audits and makes me go, sucks for her though because in start a new job on Monday :). If he had done this with a private firm, I'd say he would have been fired ( granted he would have been fired for sexual harassment a long time ago) but we work for a state government, so they don't really fire people.
