The vagueness of that part reminded me of a time I worked at a small startup several years ago, and the owner got angry about something and kicked a chair which partly hit a couple of us. The damage was pretty mild but one of us did get banged in the knee so he limped slightly for a couple days.

I can only really imagine something similar happened in this case too

Eh.

So if someone walks into your office and demands $3.5 million or they walk, and you don't think they're worth it, two reasonable responses are to laugh in their face or to calmly explain why their expectations are unrealistic.

Kicking something across the room, punching the wall, yelling and screaming, or other displays of violent temper are not. I think it is reasonable to be scared for your physical safety if someone becomes violently angry around you, even if they do not initially direct that violence at you.
