Worst adult temper-tantrum you've witnessed?

mr_fegelien · 07-12-2019 12:44pm #1

I was at Spar a few years ago and these two lads wanted their sandwich made. Looked like junkies to be honest, they were getting irritated by how long it took. When the lady handed the wrapped sandwich back to one of the lads he threw it in her face and just left the store. Everyone there just went silent and the lady behind the deli was in fear/shock.

Worked on a Deli. Had plenty of pr1cks get thick with me over the price of our chicken fillet rolls. They were €4. Get even thicker when you tell them you do not set the pricing. Would never work in retail again after it, have the upmost respect for all those in customer facing roles. So many c*nts in the world.

Why did they look like junkies? Were they drinking antifreeze and smoking weed?

I witnessed a well-known public figure absolutely lose it in the course of my work. It was like watching a 2-year old have a meltdown in a sweetshop.

They portray a very different public-persona.

I wish I'd been able to record it on my phone and send it anonymously to some journalist. I don't generally agree with it but in this case it was a very ignorant person who could have done with a bit of public-shaming.

Airports in general as well. Queues, delays, crowds, kids, unfriendly staff etc all contribute to an increased chance of losing it.

Traveler lad in a chipper, with the Eastern European lady taking his order. She could not understand him. It was early in the evening, did not appear drunk. Even his friends where telling him to calm down.

Don’t see the issue myself. The dude starts threads that people contribute to with stories of their own. If we were waiting around for some of the ‘regulars’ to start an interesting thread then the place would have been shuttered years ago. The tut-tut crowd.

Waiting in A & E one night for a number of hours with many others , 2 travellers came in with a child with what looked like a cut needing a few stichs they started roaring demanding immediate attention stating travellers don’t wait for anyone and they don’t queue ....fair play to the nurses who refused to be intimidated but travellers kicked every chair in the place before storming out of the A& E with the kid ....

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts · 07-12-2019 3:43pm

I recall a woman absolutely laying into a Bus Eireann bus driver on a trip I was on in the ‘90s. I don’t know what her initial problem was but during her tirade, she gave out to him for at one point stopping the bus to tell a teenager in the back row to put out a cigarette, all “ How DARE you do that to a young girl”. Don’t know about anyone else but I was thinking “Shut the fuck up, woman, I was glad he did that”. Honestly, sustained yelling at the guy.

Edit: to this day, I regret not thanking the driver for the cigarette thing. I really was grateful about that as a bad traveller and it would have given him support and probably taken the wind out of the sails of yer wan.

At a wedding yesterday, you know when they do the speeches before the meal, a drunk guest started getting rude shouting shut up calling the bestman a boring b*****d screaming he was hungry, we all were, had a go at his wife for making him go, how hard is it be nice, the selfish drunkard. It really put a damper on things as others started to lay in to him and he got louder and more aggressive all the kids there were better behaved.

saabsaab · 07-12-2019 4:23pm

The worst I saw was a middle aged woman in s public office. There was a long queue at the time and she had some disagreement with the person at the hatch. She was referred to the supervisor who spend a good while talking to her but didn't get what she wanted. She shouted and cried and wouldn't leave until she got what she came for and the security was called and the Guards but still wouldn't go for ages. Disrupted the place for the day!

That's why you serve food before speeches when guests are boozing, some people are children and out of control when they are hungry.

Dangerous bloke too.

Won't divulge where: When I was entering that shopping mall he was arguing with his partner about child custody in the carpark.

****xieann spends about 20 minutes inside the shopping mall doing what I normally do**"*

I come out: bloke has lost it. Threatening members of public.

Mall security approach him and say he is banned from the mall, they've also informed the Garda.

Well done to mall security.

An up and coming and VERY self righteous snd self regarding Irish musician.

At a festival, his mammy was bringing some gear for his set. Won't say what age he is but he is past the age for that anyways.

Mammy hit traffic. Mammy was late. Mammy got fcuked out of it from an absolute height in front of a lot of people. Mammy ended up crying.

It was atrocious. I'm around music scenes a lot and I've seen and heard of some bad behaviour but oh god I'm still cringing at that one.

I’ve made my mother cry. The absolute worst feeling in the world and I was immediately ashamed at making that happen. I bet he didn’t feel bad, did he?

Larbre34 · 07-12-2019 7:15pm

If I was another relative of that musician, whoever it is, I'd smash his shaggin jaw for himself. Sing through that ya ignorant disrespectful little p****.

No way was it Hozier! I've met him and my husband and I spent an eve out with him and his drummer after one of their gigs. He's an absolute gent. His mother does his album artwork, so I'd say they have a good relationship.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 07-12-2019 11:01pm

I've never met Hozier but I've never heard a bad word about him and a lot of good ones! I'm not going to give this guy's identity away by process of elimination but it's absolutely not Hozier.

It was bad, there were a lot of people there, a lot of those people are quite capable of having their own tantrums and even they were appalled.

fryup · 07-12-2019 11:06pm

alright then let's cross Hozier off the list, who else could it be hmmmmm

Speaking of airports, about 10 years ago I was in Dublin Airport going through security and some 35-40 yr old posh woman was LOSING it over being asked to take off her shoes.
Screaming "I'm not a terrorist" at the bewildered staff, they trying to ask her to calm down but she just kept at it ...

Mental, she didn't even have to do anything else, they didn't confiscate any belongings from her - I understand why that would piss people off... but this ?

crazy, too used to getting her own way the posh oul bint ...
