Wtf never. Not only would it get someone fired, itβs a cause for a lawsuit or possibly a crime where I live.

Got slapped for throwing a bottle of water at his face
Sounds like you may be part of the problem, especially if it happens to you as often as you describe Sometimes, when everything is shit, try checking under your shoes
Sounds like a reality TV show
I regularly have sex with my boss. . I'm self employed.
Nice
Never. Getting physical with a coworker would be a crime where I live.
thatβs what I tell the couple of guys who like slapping my ass
Last month I got stomped on by a coworker. My foot isn't 100% yet. I still brushed their hair at the end of the day. Some of my coworkers are horses.
I didn't know your situation but you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect at your job. It sounds like the environment isn't great? You're throwing stuff at coworkers and they're slapping you back? Your customers can't be very happy to see that behavior.
To answer your question, that's never happened at a job I've worked at and I wouldn't tolerate it.
Your workplace sounds very infantile and possibly toxic.
its like people there will be thuggin it out then moments later be huggin it out
Yeah⦠you need to GTFO and go find someplace intelligent to work.
In the civilized world we're not doing this.
Absoluetly zero, it has litterarly never happened to me or anyone I know, I know it has happend at a place of work I worked at earlier, but it was dealt with swiftly and correctly.
Why did you throw a water bottle at a coworker?
OP do you work in a physical job? Warehouse, construction, military, something like that? These are the only types of environments where I remember this being weirdly normal.
Everywhere else itβs an easy way to lose your job and/or catch a charge.
Never
What country do you live in?
πΊπΈ
Never? I wouldn't tolerate it and wouldn't work at a place that did
Never, I never got slapped at work, and I also never threw a bottle of water at anyone's face at work, violence begets violence. Either of these sounds like something I would go to HR to complain about.
Never... Not once... Shit man, that sounds like something you get written up to HR for.
One wanted to kidnap me but that's it.
Never
My workplace can be a bit juvenile like this, but we all understand the key rule. No means fucking no. Sometimes the shenanigans start and someone says "Not today, I'm not in the fuckin mood" and its respected. Some people are shenanigans free zones, you leave those people the fuck alone.
But like you said, you threw a bottle of water at someones face... this shit always gets out of hand, it ALWAYS escalates. You have to remove yourself from the inappropriate behavior chain 100% and make it clear to people that want to persist that you are over it and it needs to stop, if they do it again straight up tell them thats the last time or you go to management and start naming names and demanding they do something.
Sometimes a workplace that is "inappropriate" is fun, not having to be some rigid corporate drone who never speaks unless its in some sanitised language. Sometimes its not.
Say psych, right now
