<p>When kids have temper tantrums, it&#39;s annoying, but you can&#39;t <em>really </em>blame them! When your brain is developing, it&#39;s totally natural and normal to not yet be capable of handling your emotions in a mature and reasonable way. When adults have temper tantrums, on the other hand, you can <em>absolutely</em> blame them. There&#39;s no excuse to throw a huge and dramatic fit over something minor&mdash;especially when the person on the receiving end of your rage is in customer service, which seems to so often be the case. And there&#39;s zero excuse for this kind of behavior if you&#39;re over the age of eighteen (13-18 also doesn&#39;t make this acceptable, but at least you can blame teen hormones).</p><h2>Someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/8xqb1f/whats_the_biggest_adult_temper_tantrum_youve_ever/" target="_blank">asked</a> Reddit: &quot;What&rsquo;s the biggest adult temper tantrum you&rsquo;ve ever witnessed?&quot;</h2><h2>1.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/youdoublearewhy/">youdoublearewhy</a>:</h2><blockquote> <p>Working on a local theatre project, the lead actress&rsquo; birthday was in the middle of the final week of rehearsals. We&rsquo;re all packed into the theatre for hours on hour per day, but there&rsquo;s still time to celebrate. We pass a card around and the director decides she&rsquo;ll bake a cake.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>When we take a break, someone brings the lead actress out on stage so we can cut the cake, sing Happy Birthday and give her the card. Everything is going well.</p> <p>Then suddenly, there came a great screeching. The director was displeased.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Apparently, no one had asked her to sign the card. To be clear, she&rsquo;d seen it being passed around, but no one had actively asked her, and she took that as an insult.</p> <p>She slammed the cake to the floor right in front of the poor lead actress, screamed at us all for being so inconsiderate and stormed off. Happy birthday.</p> </blockquote><h2>2.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/gamma-draconis/">gamma-draconis</a>:</h2><blockquote> <p>When I worked in retail. The woman that freaked out because I wouldn&#39;t let her return a piece of chicken breast, originally from the meat department, dated several months prior to this interaction, that she had frozen, and did not have a receipt.</p> <p>I love retail.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>3.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/PragmaticParadox/">PragmaticParadox</a>:</h2><blockquote> <p>It was back in the late summer of 1994 and I was invited to a Carrot Top show. (Back then Carrot Top was a redheaded prop comic and not the bizarre steroid-beast he is today)</p> <p>Anyway, about 20 minutes into the show he started to freak out. It seemed as though the monitors weren&#39;t working or something because he kept complaining about how funny his shit was and how well his prop gags had gone over in other venues. To be clear- he was being amusing and the crowd was laughing along as one might expect.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>But he wasn&#39;t getting any of that feedback for some reason and he started to spiral into losing it entirely. He yanked one prop after another out of his trunk, faster and faster, and louder and louder. Eventually he had a complete breakdown, burst out into full on tears, started sobbing, dropped everything, covered his face and ran off stage.</p> <p>The crowd was confused because lets face it, no one really knew what to expect from the guy. But he never did come back on stage and after another couple minutes the lights came on and we all left - 20 minutes into the show.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>4.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/vainbetrayal/">vainbetrayal</a>:</h2><blockquote> <p>I work at a major electronic retailer, and a few months ago, I answered the phone to a customer that told us his iPad was defective, and that he was going to bring it in, and demanded we give him the newest model we had. I asked him when he bought it, and he responded &quot;Black Friday in like 2015.&quot; I laughed, and told him it wasn&#39;t happening. He started screaming at me, telling me about how he was going to &quot;own my store and the company&quot;, then demanded to speak to my manager. I told my GM the situation, handed him the phone, and he told the guy the same thing I did, and hung up on him.</p> <p>The guy apparently tried the same stunt about 2 hours after I left. Not sure what he expected out of it.</p> </blockquote><h2>5.)

She started YELLING that she absolutely had to get on this plane and nothing could stop her. Tried multiple times to board the plane, and eventually had to be physically restrained.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Started getting belligerent and threatening the employees that she would get them all fired. She demanded every employee&#39;s first and last name (their full names were on their name tags but she apparently didn&#39;t notice this) and when they gave her their full names she kept demanding it (she must be used to employees she abuses refusing to give their full names, I guess) insisting she was going to call corporate and get them all fired.</p> <p>When it became clear that she wasn&#39;t going to get what she wanted, she called her father on her cell phone and started screaming very loudly that she was being abused and asking her Daddy to sue the airline and get all the employees fired.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>&quot;DO YOU KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS?

19 people share the worst adult temper tantrums they've ever witnessed.

When kids have temper tantrums, it&#39;s annoying, but you can&#39;t really blame them! When your brain is developing, it&#39;s totally natural and normal to not yet be capable of handling your emotions in a mature and reasonable way. When adults have temper tantrums, on the other hand, you can absolutely blame them. There&#39;s no excuse to throw a huge and dramatic fit over something minor&mdash;especially when the person on the receiving end of your rage is in customer service, which seems to so often be the case. And there&#39;s zero excuse for this kind of behavior if you&#39;re over the age of eighteen (13-18 also doesn&#39;t make this acceptable, but at least you can blame teen hormones).Someone asked Reddit: &quot;What&rsquo;s the biggest adult temper tantrum you&rsquo;ve ever witnessed?&quot;1.) From youdoublearewhy: Working on a local theatre project, the lead actress&rsquo; birthday was in the middle of the final week of rehearsals. We&rsquo;re all packed into the theatre for hours on hour per day, but there&rsquo;s still time to celebrate. We pass a card around and the director decides she&rsquo;ll bake a cake.  When we take a break, someone brings the lead actress out on stage so we can cut the cake, sing Happy Birthday and give her the card. Everything is going well. Then suddenly, there came a great screeching. The director was displeased.  Apparently, no one had asked her to sign the card. To be clear, she&rsquo;d seen it being passed around, but no one had actively asked her, and she took that as an insult. She slammed the cake to the floor right in front of the poor lead actress, screamed at us all for being so inconsiderate and stormed off. Happy birthday. 2.) From gamma-draconis: When I worked in retail. The woman that freaked out because I wouldn&#39;t let her return a piece of chicken breast, originally from the meat department, dated several months prior to this interaction, that she had frozen, and did not have a receipt. I love retail. 3.) From PragmaticParadox: It was back in the late summer of 1994 and I was invited to a Carrot Top show. (Back then Carrot Top was a redheaded prop comic and not the bizarre steroid-beast he is today) Anyway, about 20 minutes into the show he started to freak out.

To be clear- he was being amusing and the crowd was laughing along as one might expect.  But he wasn&#39;t getting any of that feedback for some reason and he started to spiral into losing it entirely. He yanked one prop after another out of his trunk, faster and faster, and louder and louder. Eventually he had a complete breakdown, burst out into full on tears, started sobbing, dropped everything, covered his face and ran off stage. The crowd was confused because lets face it, no one really knew what to expect from the guy. But he never did come back on stage and after another couple minutes the lights came on and we all left - 20 minutes into the show. 4.) From vainbetrayal: I work at a major electronic retailer, and a few months ago, I answered the phone to a customer that told us his iPad was defective, and that he was going to bring it in, and demanded we give him the newest model we had.

From toledotouchdown: My ex girlfriend started screaming and throwing clothes out of her closet because her family&#39;s maid had placed them out of order and she couldn&#39;t find a shirt. This was in Mexico City and I&#39;m from Canada, so I was a bit shocked. I laughed my a*s off and told her she was being ridiculous. 16.) From [deleted]: Some people I work with got in a disaagreement over management styles. One got so pissed off she took a leave of absence for a month to cool down. When she came back it started again and now she&rsquo;s gone for 3 more weeks. 17.) From hicki101: I work with a guy who has such anger issues. I&#39;ve seen him shout and scream at machines. Ive witnessed him once throw a large socket wrench at the machine it Bounced back and hit him on the head. His biggest tantrum happened when we came to work his pen had leaked over his overalls and he blamed someone for tampering with it. He took the rest of the week off unpaid as no-one would own up to it. 18.) From girlfieri223: My mother-in-law threw a pie through my window on thanksgiving because I would not let her in my house. She had attempted to ruin our wedding not one month prior to this and I was not dealing with her sh*t. We told her to leave and she threw a pie through my window, shattered it, and my dog cut her paw on the glass. She wasn&#39;t invited to our house because she&#39;s Satan incarnate and for some reason she was shocked that we wouldn&#39;t let her in because she&#39;s faaaaaaaaamilllyyyyyy. $4200 window replacement (old 60s home with giant custom windows). And she wonders why we are no contact. 19.) From summerlynn22: When I was in High School, I worked at a local fast food place. One day, a very grumpy middle aged man comes in, he orders, I serve him, he sits down to eat. After eating he comes up to me and asks if I happened to see any keys... I said that I hadnt but I was able to help him look and ask around if any coworkers found anything. After 10 mins of looking we couldnt find them anywhere.  At this point it becomes busy and I have to keep working helping new customers. It turned out he didnt believe me, and thought I stole the keys to his ancient, beat up Lincoln. He ended up CALLING THE POLICE ON ME, saying that Im a rotten, little liar who stole his keys and refused to fess up. Meanwhile I was like 17, and probably the most trust worthy out of all the shady people who did work there. My bosses were on my side and didnt believe him for a second. When the police came they looked over the tapes and didnt find anything that would possibly incrimate me.  But the man still thought I took them. The police finally asked him if he may have thrown them away in the garbage. I will never forget the look on his face when he dug through the trash and found his keys at the very bottom. He didnt even apologise to me, the police rolled their eyes and escorted him out. 

When kids have temper tantrums, it&#39;s annoying, but you can&#39;t really blame them! When your brain is developing, it&#39;s totally natural and normal to not yet be capable of handling your emotions in a mature and reasonable way. When...
