Conversations that start, "We have to talk..." are never good.
Tell us about the ones you've been trapped in.

This is totally on topic - A few months back I had a number of anger issues (I know, I'm as shocked as you!)
I hated my project/project manager, etc... In essence I spent a few weeks with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp.
The "final" straw was me turning up to a meeting and sitting there for an hour glowering at anyone that dared to look at me - after the meeting, the Project Manager* said that "We had to talk" (See - on topic!!)
Anyway, he started off by saying that I had an attitude problem - My counter was almost "No I f***ing don't" - but I let that one slide. Then he went on about "letting the team down", "not pulling for the team", etc, etc. Then he threatened to have me removed from the project (I knew that was an empty threat anyway)...
In essence the conversation started with me wanting to punch his lights out and ended up with me wanting to hang him by his nostril hairs out of the window.
On the plus side, I was vindicated as he quit about a month later. He is, was and always will be an arse.
Attitude problem? I've no idea what you mean :o)
* He actually was king of the arsehole people
