I once came across someone having a fit in the office. Unfortunately this guy had climbed onto a table to have his fit and was trying (badly) to climb even higher. He looked scared stiff.

His legs were shaking and looked as if they were going to buckle, but he snapped out of it after a minute or two.Comment
