The only time I recall having someone yell at me (or anyone in the office) was about 3 years ago at my previous job.  One of my co-workers proceeded to yell at me.  I stated that we would continue this when she calmed down, and then turned away from her to resume working.  She yelled at me about turning away and I turned and told her that I would gladly talk to her when she was able to talk to me properly and not until then, and again turned my back on her.  She fumed but left my area.  I think what got her most was that she had done this in front of another co-worker and came out looking worse.  She never did that again, but then I didn't stay around long after that.  Luckily my move was already in process when this occurred.  She and I had a stormy working relationship at the best of times, so  I know that if I had stayed it would have only gotten worse and I'm sure that I would have eventually ended up raising my voice back at her if she did this at the wrong time.  To date, though, I have never had to raise my voice at the office. (knock on wood!)
