In his book "The Productive Programmer", Neil Ford references Dave Thomas' famous Angry Monkeys anecdote.

I feel like it might not be easy sometimes to tell 'angry monkey' behavior from common sense or practical wisdom (as it appears during code reviews or implied by coding standards), because latter might not be backed by clear reasoning and argumentation.

What real cases of angry monkey behavior do you know? How were they handled?
