Worst adult tantrum you've witnessed?

Saw a similar question on Reddit but that was mostly American experiences.

Wondering if you've seen some here in Ireland excluding obvious mental illness and situations in general that are stressful e.g airports and flying

My father in law, his wife and daughter are still not talking to us over a bar of chocolate this time last year. We were in Scotland when it happened.

They came to visit us from India and we went on a little trip. They were then to stay in cork with us for another 2 weeks. Nobody spoke in Scotland and instead of driving back to cork with us from airport they hired a car. Then packed their bags and drove back to Dublin and back to India.

Doesn't see his grandchildren or his son now. Stupid bastard.

What kind of chocolate was it?

tomwaterford

Used work in a job which involved long long hours (80+ aweek,few months a year) and the resulting tiredness/frayed tempers

and working with some of the best pisstakers and wind up people ive ever met used result in not too infrequent tantrums....but an hour or so at worst the following day it would be forgot

Work in an accountants and when we sign people up we give them an estimate of their net take home pay

Bear in mind it is an estimate we do. It is not based official facts and figures

So conversation goes
So your earning are x per hour
You prob work 20 day in x month
That x gross
Take off x expenses and our fee and taxes
Use tax credits

And so on

Anyway we gave a women in U.K. An estimate of 350 pound per week basically saying , based on those types of rates and number of days and assuming tax credits/expenses and relief '' your looking at 350 a week' but we need official tax documents from HMRC(U.K. Revenue) and expense receipts and so on
And it's made clear it's only an estimte

So that was grand she signed up filled out a bunch of papers as a employee of an umbrella company

Began the job with the end client ( e.g. : IT firm)

So when it came to pay day we had her official documentation about tax affairs

Applied correct taxes based on hours worked etc

She took home 349.76

She rang up and LOST IT!!!!!!!! I kid you not

Shouting and roaring at the staff saying that the 24p is putting her over undue financial stress and she was led to believe she would get 350 a week and we lied and stole her money and we are not 1 bit professional as we mis lead our clients and steal and mess up their payroll

We tried to explain it was an estimate provided on a call(which is very clearly mentioned on the call) and the follow up excel file she received by email showing our calculations is even called an estimated payslip (name of file) for their records (which was all based on a chat)
and naturally a estimate which is over 99% is fairy excellent in my opinion as there is so many variables to effect the take home

Anyway... she F* cked us out of it!!!!!!

Then rang the recruitment agency and lost the plot with them about us (they referred her to us)

They rang us asking how we messed up her first payroll

We explained the situation and common sense hit them...

Anyway.. long story short ,,

the women quit the job over it( 1 week in)

...24p would ya believe

And I was thinking would she do the same if she was slighty overpaid ( she was bat S* it crazy so you never know)

Have mentioned it before on other threads.

Have had 2 adults threaten suicide in response to strident but wholly justified criticism from me. One felt he was being persecuted because the Gardai keep catching him for drugs and road traffic offences that he keeps committing. The other when I pointed out that her behaviour and the way she had treated a friend was not good enough.
