Worst adult tantrum you've witnessed?

jeanjolie

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

Bar of chocolate...

Prepare to be completely underwhelmed.

My 16 year old daughter, myself and the sister in law were in a shop. My 16 year old picks up a Oreo Milka and says...oh I must buy another one of these because your mum took mine into her room last night.

Sil goes in and tells mummy and daddy that my daughter said her mum stole the chocolate bar.

When told that this was not the case that at best the daughter had misunderstood what my daughter had said there was world war 3 and ended up in them going home.

The whole situation should have been sorted in minutes like any normal adults would.

Just to give an indication of how mental these people are... when we flew back to Dublin it arrived at 11.30. They just managed to hire a car and drove to cork, packed their bags and turned straight back to Dublin at what I think was 4 in the morning without even a hotel booked.

Same father in law chucked an absolute huge tantrum at our wedding because the photographer did not take his photograph with myself and husband first before anyone else. It was terrible, nearly ruined the day.

That man sounds like a massive knob.

I was in the passport office recently (:mad:) and witnessed quite a few tantrums.

The worst was a grown man, stinkin of booze, clearly hammered, calling all the staff c*nts. I'm not sure if he was looking for a passport even or had just wandered in there. He was quickly removed by security.

I think the minute you start screaming c*nt at people, you lose the argument!

I briefly had a boyfriend couldn't handle stress and was extremely negative. He could never look at the positives. One day he threw his food and I've still got an image of pieces of fish stuck to the kitchen ceiling. In the same day he smashed my computer.

And the other day I was in a friend's car and witnessed extreme road rage. Steering wheel thumping, shouting and swearing at every silly driver and slow pedestrian and awkward parking spot.

Booked a holiday with an ex, his little sister (she would've been 16 ish, so not really an adult I guess but still old enough to know better than this) proceeded to bitch and moan that it was unfair that we got to go on holidays (we paid for it ourselves) and she didn't...

Negative in what sense?

Meeting to organise an art event at an anrchist squat in Berlin which got trapped in endless "consensus"discussion when I got a bit frustrated and said that someone needs to have the balls to make a decision.

Some feminist bloke (they do exist) objected to my blantantly sexist use of langauge and when I shrugged and carried on talking he started scremaing the house down. When they finally calmed him down, he unfortunatly overheard me mutter "****ing snowflakes" under my breath.

Three people had to escort him from the room.

Says it all about the reality of anarchism

What?

Was in Liverpool once, slightly the worst for wear. Get back to the hotel and go to get the room key, there's an English guy at the counter having a full on melt down that the girl in reception the previuous night didn't know what room he was staying in - it was booked under a different name apparently.

Anyway he's ranting and raving while I stand there quietly praying for death. Eventually (after maybe 5 or 6 minutes of a full on meltdown) my patience wears thin and I tap him on the shoulder "excuse me, do you know what room you're in now?" "yeah, why?" "do me a favour and fúck off back to it then would you"
Off he pops and the bloke in reception gives out to ME for interfering. You just can't win!

Retail story from a few years back

Woman asked me and one of the lads if we could get the manager to order a few cases of cheap strawberries for her for Tuesday (think it was Friday or Saturday) we said we would and the manager ordered them

I was off the day they were meant to arrive so I'm quoting my manager here, she arrived in and asked for the strawberries my manager said they never arrived in ( cheap strawberries might fail quality inspection) she immediately went from all smiles to absolutely loosing the plot she started freaking out Calling him a liar etc, he went and got the order docket and showed they were ordered and never arrived, to her that wasn't good enough

Manager of the store came down to explain the same thing but she was having none of it she went on a full blown rant ran around to customers shouting "don't shop here they are a bunch of scammers and liars" at one point my manager thought she was going to punch the store manager, think she then wanted the expensive strawberries €3 sold to her for the same price as the cheap ones €1.50, can't remember if they did or not

Just overtook a lad of the lycra brigade, shaved legs and all, earphones in naturally. Me in me jeans and T on a bike. Spastic doesn't even describe his reaction, I'm writing this as he's still trying to chase me lol
I'll show him up at the next lights if he catches up.

This is the basis of my example. Driving along a fairly narrow road on the way to Bray, wife and young kids in the car. Two of these Tour de France wannabes cycling two abreast, taking up the whole road, line of cars forming behind. I manage to overtake and do a little pip of the horn as I go by - big mistake.

One of the guys starts yelling and I see him in my rear view mirror up the pace like he was in a time trial. I manage to leave him behind but after a while have to stop at red lights. This guy catches up with me and starts banging on my window, cursing and screaming at me. Woke up my two kids in the back who started crying, and my wife was terrified. I took his picture on my phone just in case, but I managed to get away. If my family hadn't been in the car I'm not sure I wouldn't have gotten out.

Last Halloween we went to HomeStore to buy a 'bag of bones' for decorating the garden, they had run out but had some decorative skeletons that were broken. We asked if we could buy all of the skeletons at a reduced price; intending to take them apart and use the bones for the decorations, to which the manager agreed. All fine... but another woman in the shop had also arrived looking for a 'bag of bones' and was disappointed when there were none left. When she realised that we were getting the broken skeletons at a reduced price she lost the plot.

Stood in the middle of the shop shouting at the manager that she 'was there first', that 'nobody had told her she could buy the skeletons with a discount' and, 'Halloween was ruined for her children'. She then tried to grab the skeletons from our hands, screaming and shouting and had to be escorted from the shop.

Most bizarre situation I've ever been in!

was on a train in Heuston last weekend and when a man in his late 50's/early 60's sitting in the wrong seat was asked to move by two women he lost the plot.

After showing him their tickets with the seat numbers he pretended he couldn't see the seat number anywhere on the ticket and refused to move.

He was reading a paper and just delved back into it while the two women stood beside him with camping bags.

A minute before the train left the womens group sitting on the opposite side of the train pleaded with him to move for a few minutes.

In the end, he had to move got up bright red in the face and after they apologised and said thank you he burst off after telling to f**k off.

Hilarious.

I used to work in a retail store in Derry and one year we had 2 middle aged ladies tossed out of the shop and then out of the shopping centre.

One accused the other of skipping the queue (which was all the way around the shop) and the accused denied it. Cue a rapidly escalating argument which hit boiling point when one called the other a "fenian bitch" and we turfed them both out before they came to blows.

I was on customer service one day and a guy made such a racket on the phone you could almost feel spit dribbling out of the handset.

Roaring and shouting about how he'd taken the day off work, brought in a guy to help him, and was left waiting like a fool for delivery of something he'd bought earlier in the week and was promised would be delivered on Wednesday.

After a brief pause because I actually thought for a moment I must have it wrong somehow when he mentioned the Wednesday, but eventually I managed "Today is Tuesday...."

He instantly switched to this blase, almost good natured tone like 'Ah yeah, you're dead right' in a sort of jovial way - no big deal, aren't we a pair of eejits, type thing.

We also had a woman storm in one day roaring about how her house was in a right state because the cheap paint we were selling was coming off the external walls not long after going up and we'd better bloody well be coming out to provide new paint, clean-up and labor.

She had used normal interior paint the house....

Another guy came in one day and offered me two crumpled €50's for a €299 lawnmower - I politely declined the generous offer and he told me "You'd be an absolute fool to turn down cold hard cash in this climate' and got quite shirty and aggressive when he realised his €100 was going nowhere.

Not to me, but a customer also threatened to kill a co-worker.... because he wouldn't open the shop an hour early so the guy could get balloons for his kid's communion. He was banging on the glass roaring to be let in and ended up shouting "I know where you live, I'm going to get you, you'll see".

Customers are the best thing about retail. You just couldn't make up the stuff that goes on.

My stepdad nearly gave himself a heart attack once because I refused to do the washing at the exact moment he wanted. I told him I'd do it later but I needed to study first. He sent himself into a flying rage, red in the face, hands trembling, spit flying from his mouth but I just ignored him.

He's one for getting himself worked up over the tiniest things. I just ignore him.

My aunt had a complete meltdown, because she ran late to her dad's birthday dinner, we called her 5 times, to ask her where she is. She told us to start with food, they need another hour and a half. We had food, we ordered dessert and once we all had our desserts served she came into the restaurant with her family and she brought a pretty disgusting cake that her father really doesn't like (it's a so-called "Linzer Torte", tastes like cardboard). When she saw we already have cake she dropped the cake on the table, started screaming around, hissed at her dad and ran to the toilet and locked herself in, crying. For an hour. In a restaurant.

OMG I've watched a few of the videos and found myself getting angrier and angrier - not at the drivers, but at him!! He's going out of his way to find trouble. And his tone of voice is just so pompous and rich with entitlement. There's one video where he holds up a whole line of traffic just to make a point! One of these days he's going to get the sh*t kicked out of him.

When I was 9 months pregnant with my first little boy I had very high blood pressure. I was kept in hospital overnight on a couple of occasions. One morning after being discharged from hospital my mam and I decided to go to the shop on the way home. We parked in the underground car park and walked to the lift. There was a lift with the door just opening and a man a woman and a boy of about 8 were entering. The lift was big enough for 9 people so we went into the lift too.
The man started shouting at me saying that his wife was afraid of enclosed spaces and we should not have got in the lift with them. He was really worked up and red in the face and kept shouting. I told him I'd just gotten out of hospital with very high blood pressure and would he please stop shouting. His response was to shout at me that he didn't give a **** about me or my child. When the lift stopped he stormed out followed by his wife who had remained silent the whole time. Then the little boy called me a few names and ran off after them
I was so shocked that a man would shout at someone just for sharing a lift with them but more so that he did it in front of his young child. Then even more shocked that the child did the same as the man did. Never seen behaviour like that before in my life. Poor child being brought up like that.
