If you work in the U.K. and with computers that always seem to be on the fritz, look out. A new survey shows that half of Britain's office workers have been tempted to coldcock a coworker. More details of the survey show that too much work, computer "issues" and bothersome colleagues can turn a cubicle into a crime scene -- and that women are more likely to snap than men. The survey sponsor said cutting the gossip, being open with managers and leaving coworkers alone makes for cooler heads -- and fists.
