2 nights ago at work, we were unloading truck. there were a bunch of new people, me and this outher guy who has been there for awhile. well the guy that has been there for awhile was getting frusterated because the new people diddnt know where to put things. I inquired a question to him. (not mean)
I turned around,and the next thing I knew I felt a sharp jab in my back where he has sholved a pile of boxes into me. I told the guy off and said it was very unexceptable. last night at work I really diddnt talk to him unless I had to. every time I glanced over, he was looking at me. was I wrong to yell at him? do you think ill get an appology??? we used to get along pretty good!!!

If he "feels bad" then he would apologize... His attitude regarding "the new people" is ridiculous and immature which is why I suspect he is still unloading trucks.
Being one of the "older" employee's, he should be helpful and patient with the newer employees.
Sounds like he suffers from what I call "Donald Trump Syndrome". He believes that he's so much more powerful and important because he's been unloading boxes off of trucks a lot longer..
ROTFLMAO!!!
Good Gawd....... This guy needs to get over himself....grow up and apologize but it's doubtful that he will. His attitude is immature and ridiculous....

If you get an apology I'd be'd suprprised. I know that sounds cynical. He sounds as if he may have anger issues if he lets himself do something out of frustration that could result in the injury to another. There are situations all the time at work and in everyday life where things don't go the way we want them to or as quickly. Tell me, why didn't you react this way to the new people? Because you understand its going to take a while for them to know what to do. I'm sure they want to learn so they don't have to keep asking but until such time they have no choice. He treated you badly and at times like these you truly see the real character of a person. If he apologizes then you'll know such behavior was out of character for him. If not then you'll know that this is his nature and he probably will do it again.

If your question was reasonable then there is no excuse for shoving a pile of boxes into you. He should definetely apologise to you.
However, whether you can expect one from him is a different matter. If in a couple of days he has not apologised and you still fell you deserve an apology, I would take him aside and rationally explain how you feel what he did was not reasonable and that you would like an apology.

You were wrong for yelling at him. One thing I learned was that you should have patience for people no matter what they do. You might or you might not get an apology. It depends on how the person is. Some people would not say sorry at all and others will admit that they were wrong and apologize. Too be honest, if you yelled at me I would be very upsett. I might even cry. I think you should apologize to him for yelling at him and tell him that you forgive him for yelling at you.

Why don't you just clear the air and not let it continue. Ask him why he did what he did. You don't need to ask in a hostile manner. Just tell him you don't understand why he did what he did. Get him to talk to you. Otherwise, this will just continue and nothing will be solved.

He focused his frustration on to you, physically. That is abuse. Someone that would do such a thing likely will not apologize. I would keep distant from him he sounds like a jerk.
