Try working in a mental hospital. It's about a 60-39-1 rule, 60% are not only insane, but complete ass hats as well, 39% are the some of the most selfish and self absorbed people I've ever met, and about 1% consists of decent people who just happened to wind up with a lot of shit in their life and need some help to get them through it.

Oh, and I've been punched too, so has about every other Program Counselor working there. Ditto with the being yelled and screamed at and the threats to be fired.
