Chav beating boss...
When working as a mere grunt in a very large company, the team I was in at the time was given a shiny new boss. A real go getter, on his way up the corporate ladder, as fast as his little legs could carry him. He believed the best way to up get said ladder was to deliver staggering cost savings every year regardless of how he got them, and sadly he was perfectly correct.

Anyway, he spent a good year or so slowly destroying the morale of the team, by chipping away at staff levels, benefits, overtime, training, equipment, etc, all in the name of saving money.

Needless to say that by the time the next annual staff outing came about he was about as popular as a Nazis with syphilis. Which made it all the more satisfying when towards the end of the evening he ended up pissed off his face, in a fight with a local chav, whom he bested and celebrated by repeatedly punching the guy whilst he was on the ground shouting "Do you surrender?" over and over at the top of his lungs.

After dragging him off and checking the poor chav was more stunned than hurt, we lead him away and chucked him in a taxi. The next day was immense fun as he remembered what he'd done, and desperately tried to silence anyone that had been there. However we had him by the balls now and we squeezed as hard as we could.

He was transferred sideways rather than up about 6 months later, after we'd been getting things out of him in return for not mentioning the incident.

he shouldn't have been ashamed, he should have proclaimed his manhood louder!
