How to deal with an aggressive manager

How do we deal with an aggressive manager... aggressive would not be the right word... but more abusive manager..

i have this guy who visits our office once or twice a month... and that day.. he creates a ruckus in our office.. only by shouting and using bad words.. and nothing at all in business words.. he is more of a de-moralizer than a motivator.. dont know how he thinks about his style though..

since i joined new, i have not heard much.. but tomorrow i guess he is going to be there... so just wondering what to do..

no answers like quiting etc... would it be better to deal with him in the same tone, he being abusive... y dont i also be abusive.. use those nice F words.. or is it better to just take it through one ear and leave through the other.. or just create a cooler environment when he starts balking...

i am not worried at all if he sacks me though...

so honest replies from self experience .. very well appreciated..

Thank you everyone for the informative comments..

like stated.. i wanted to have some ideas how to deal with it professionally rather than emotionally.. has it certainly will helping in my learning process... i have decided how to deal with it.. especially from your comments..

now for crusher... if u dont have anything sensible to say from your own experience.. . why dont u just shut ur trap... instead of being a half-wit twat... well maybe u need to re-read it a couple of times.. so that u can catch up.. get a hint..

Keep your mouth shut and get him a nice cup of coffee when he tells you too. You might also think about getting him some nice biscuits on your way to work in the morning.

its only 2 days a month it could be every day - stop crying

Don't stoop to their level and become unprofessional .. it is easy to want to explode and just give in and let out your frustration out, however if you do behave in the same ugly manner as them, they will use it against you. These kind of people look for problems/flaws in others, don't give them any reason to with you, keep your dignity and class and that will annoy them more

i Think you should be more polite and cheerful to him/her.

Always sword has to go under strong heat to change its form from normal metal to a respective weapon. That means you have to learn and go under this heat (Your Boss) to be a steady and successful professional and can handle any sort of situation in upcoming life. All the best, no worries take a positive approach.
