Did I ever tell you my story of the biggest a-hole partner moment I've ever witnessed?

Talk about getting your head bitten off (though fortunately not really mine) . . .
I was a first year associate and was staffed on project that needed some research and a memo. The partner asks me to come to his office to discuss. When I get there he waves me in without a word (he's not on the phone) and proceeds to leave me sitting there for about 15 minutes while he continues reading whatever he's reading. Not a word. He then calls in his secretary (who looks white as a ghost) and tells her to get him this binder with materials for the research (still hasn't spoken to me). She goes looking in the files for it. He continues to read without speaking to me. She comes back about 5-10 minutes later (feels like an eternity) and (whimpering) says she can't find the binder. He responds by slamming his book closed, yelling "God damn it. Do I have to do every fucking thing around here!!" and then standing up, turning around to the bookshelf directly behind him, and grabbing the binder off the shelf and tossing it in my direction. I think she may have wet herself. I might have too.
It was just so unbelievable.
