PEOPLE REVEAL THE WORST ADULT TANTRUMS THEY'VE EVER WITNESSED

[ReedeFox]

We all know kids can be assholes at times and throw screaming tantrums at any given opportunity, but what about adults? Most of you will say you grew out of that petulant shit by the time you were 12 but sadly some people never stop acting like spoiled brats.

These people on Reddit recently shared their stories of the times they witnessed the most cringeworthy adult tantrums imaginable and it's pretty shocking. People are fucking mental!

I work at a hotel and just the other day I had a grown woman refuse to sleep in any room and just lay on the couch in the lobby to sleep. She was upset because her room was further than she thought it was.

Worked at a Wendy's for a few years during college.

The meltdown of legend was when a little-league mom came in with the whole team of kids and ordered food for all of them and some of the parents. She then began to grow increasingly frustrated/visibly upset at the amount of time it took to prepare such a large volume of food.
She begins to ask why her food was taking so long, over and over, each time her voice getting a little higher. After a few minutes she starts saying "This is simply unacceptable." and asking for a refund despite the fact that she can see the poor sandwich maker is standing right next to me working frantically to put all her cheeseburgers together. I say, "Okay. Let me just get the manager." She then starts screeching she wants the refund NOW and throws her carrier tray of frosties onto the floor, gets down on her hands and knees, and I shit you not proceeds to start grinding the spilled frosty into the carpet with her bare hands all the while shrieking as if her child had been run over in the drive-thru.

I have a crazy Wendy's story, too! One day, I went to eat at Wendy's alone. As I was eating, my cousins came in with their other grandma, whom I don't know or never met. So I gave them a little wave from across the restaurant, we didn't speak to each other, whatever. They're adults, as well. So, they bring their grandma to this Wendy's, and the old lady orders a baked potato. Potato comes, they get served their food, and almost immediately I hear my cousins start to console her. She stormed up to the counter, cane no longer needed, and slammed her tray on the counter.

"This cheese isn't melted!" She immediately complains. They explain to her that their cheese is kept very cold and goes on the potato, but after a couple of minutes it would be melted. She demanded they put it in the microwave or something, the kid behind the counter is explaining something, and this lady freaks out.
She starts slamming her open palm on the potato, smashing it on her tray, and sending food FLYING. "THIS. FUCKING. CHEESE. IS. NOT. MELTED!!!"
I finished my food and got the fuck out of there. Discussed it with my own grandma, whose son is my cousins stepdad and my uncle. She said they were all crazy, in her most polite, churchgoing voice

I met a girl online and we talked for a while. Eventually, I paid for her to visit me from LA. She was ok at first, but started complaining about the stupidest stuff, like that I have a cat (which she already knew). The next day she freaked out over Red Robin and made us leave. By then, I had enough, but was biding my time.

Eventually the time comes for her to go home and I give her a ride to the airport. While we are walking in she gets mad about something, and I cant even remember what it was.
Here is where it gets good. She literally lays on the ground and starts screaming and flailing like a child. Woman is 31 years old. I just dropped her luggage and walked back to my car and drove off.
Fun post script: She missed her flight and called me trying to get me to come stay with her at the hotel. Uhh...no.

"Stan" comes in to office and notices "Bill" has muddy boots propped up on Stan's desk.

Stan goes red in the face, leaps on to Bill's desk and proceeds to do what I can only describe as a riverdance.
"How do you like mud on YOUR desk" Stan screams.
I about shit myself laughing.

I used to work at a grocery store. I once watched a lady go into a screaming, swearing fit because we wouldn't let her into the meat department to buy sausages...because that section had been blocked off by the fire department. There were three or four firefighters there, in plain view of the woman, in turnouts, tearing apart one of our refrigerator units because the motor had started smoldering. You could see and smell the smoke. Lady screamed at my supervisor for five minutes before one of the firefighters came over and literally told the woman to fuck off, which absolutely made my day.

Our store manager sent the fire station a giant gift basket afterwards

My ex girlfriend was terrified of being alone. Not like crippling sadness from not having a soulmate, literally being in a house or apt when no one else is home.

One Christmas I went home to visit my family, and she went to visit hers in a different town. Something went wrong and she got in a fight with her sister so she left and went back to our apartment, I still had about a week left of my trip home to see my family. She called me and said she expected me home that day because she couldn't be at our apartment alone. I told her I took time off work and came home to see my family because I rarely get to do so, she started screaming at the top of her lungs that I needed to get home ASAP because she was terrified. I hung up because I practically went deaf in one ear from her screaming so she called my dad and screamed at him that she was going to kill herself if I didn't go back because she couldn't be alone. Absolutely ruined my Christmas with my family. I ended up going back later that day and lost a lot of respect for myself.

My dad told me if I went back, it had to be to end it. I did just that.

I work in a fairly popular bakery. Every Wednesday, we have a Crazy Sale, meaning one of our more popular items will be on a very nice sale. This Wednesday happened to be cookies. We were selling them for 75 cents and, as you can imagine, they sold very fast. Our bakers prepare for this, usually having five extra trays of cookies to sell. One of our most popular cookies sold out, but we couldn't make more because we ran out of supplies for that kind. Most people were very understanding and just picked another cookie. Enter the crazy lady. She saw that slot for cookies was empty, so she asked if we had anymore. I kindly said that no, we were out but the bakers just went off to get the supplies to make them. They should be ready within the hour. She went insane. She started screaming about how she needed them because she wanted to impress her friends. I suppose she was telling them she made them or something, I don't know. She actually grabbed the cookie display and tipped it over, ruining our stock for the afternoon. She stomped on them all, saying how if she couldn't get her cookies, no one could. She is now banned from the store and we keep the cookies behind the counter where only we can reach them.

A woman lost her mind at the movie theater concession stand because they only sold Coca Cola beverages. "BUT I ONLY DRINK PEPSI!!! I can't believe you don't have Pepsi!!! What kind of business is this???". This went on for several minutes. Then she demanded to speak to the manager, and insisted that she be refunded her ticket price BECAUSE SHE NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT IF SHE'D KNOWN THEY DIDN'T HAVE PEPSI!!!! The manager refused to give her a refund. Of course she ends up in the same theater as me and my friends.... and she whines to her friend the entire time up to the movie start. THEN.... you know the bit they play before the previews where they promote the concessions???? Lol, a giant Coke bottle goes up on the screen and she must have felt personally taunted because she yells "F@ck Coke!!!!". Someone walked out of the theater and returned with an usher and the manager and she was escorted out, with her friend scurrying behind them. She had to have been in her 50s. Completely bathsh!t crazy.
