In a professional situation someone tried to bully a number of people, including me.
I lost my temper, not badly, but I got angry and said silly things. (well true things said in a silly way, all now apologised for)
The disappointing thing is, my outburst was counter productive and unnecessary. I was right, so right, and if I had stayed cool, and responded calmly I would have been able to completely control the situation.
