TIFU by putting my foreman through a wall.

So this actually happened this morning but I wanted to wait til i got home from class to post this.

I'm a plumber in NYC and I'm currently working on very high end apartments in Tribeca, NYC. Now my foreman is a humongous ass hole, both literally and figuratively. He's about 5'10" and has to be pushing 400lbs. He likes to yell, scream, insult and belittle EVERYONE. He also has an annoying habit of grabbing and pulling on my beard as his own special way of messing with me.

Well this morning I'm waiting for the elevator to go up to the penthouse from the 2nd floor and I'm leaning on the wall with my hands in my pockets. Well the lift opens up the doors and my foreman comes off and starts yelling at me for standing against the wall with my hands in my pockets. Letting me know that he's been having a hell of a morning and the last thing he needs is to see me standing around with my hands in my pockets.

So we're standing in the hall way nose to nose and I tell him, I'm sorry you're having a bad day and go to walk past him onto the lift so I can get my material and get back to work. He turns around reaches over my shoulder grabs my beard and pulls hard so my head whips around as he yells don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you, and as my head is being torqued around I use the momentum turning around and shove my foreman as hard as I could into the wall behind him.

The hallway we were in was about 4ft wide so it's not like I threw him far but it was just a thin sheet rocked wall, and he's a big man. He hit the wall and the wall crumbled as he went right through it. My adrenaline was pumping and I shouted some things about how many times I told him to keep his hands outta my face and how I warned him time and time again not to grab my face and when I was done shouting at him I turned around got on the lift and everyone in the lift was cheering me and asking why I hadn't done it sooner.

We pretty much avoided each other all day but as we were leaving he apologized for grabbing my face and instead of apologizing like an adult I told him that if it EVER happens again it wont just be a wall that get broken and I walked out of the shanty.

I know it was stupid, stubborn and pig headed of me and I should have apologized. But if I did that then there wouldn't have been a problem and I wouldn't be typing this. I did get a phone call from my super asking me if I would be coming in tomorrow because he would like to talk to me. So we'll see how that goes in the A.M.

T.L.D.R: Foreman yelled in my face, grabbed a hand full of my beard and I pushed him through a wall and have a meeting with his boss in the morning.
