To ask the most immature or spoiled behaviour you've seen from an adult?

[HellaFitzgerald]

Today, in the supermarket, I saw a woman (I actually heard her before I rounded the corner and saw her, to be accurate) of about 40 loudly berating a man who worked there about something she wanted not being in stock. She then started to jump up and down on the spot stamping her feet like a toddler and then sat cross-legged on the floor in the middle of the aisle, arms folded, bottom lip pouted out. I was mortified for her, the worker, the people witnessing it, for everyone involved. It was so bizarre (though I was secretly glad to witness it as everyone on here always shares bizarre stories from people in public and I always feel left out I'd never seen anything before)

I was sat in the staff room chatting to colleagues who were friends and we were laughing at a joke unrelated to the workplace when my boss came in saw me laughing. Her face went bright red, she stormed over and put her face in mine (I could almost see steam coming out of her ears) and said in a shouty voice, “My office 3pm!”
It turned out that she thought I had been talking about her, which I had not.
3pm - a loud berating of me, my interest in talking about her to people(not true) and my skills in the workplace. I have to say here that she had not once come and observed me at work because if she had she would have been able to see past crits of me and my work which were straight A’s down the line.
Bitch….. that’s all I can say.

Haha petulant pedestrian story reminds me of when I was learner drive and someone in a white van getting really impatient and taking me at about 60 in a 40 zone absolutely incensed with my learner driverism and desperate to prove he was more accomplished and faster than me.

I caught up him with not long after where - still driving like a twat - he can crashed into the car in front of him that was stationery at traffic lights.

@FoggyCrumpet I remember my friend bursting into tears when we met something coming the other way down the lanes in South Hams, she admitted through the snot and tears that she hadn't reversed since her driving test, we swopped places and I managed to reverse back to the passing place, moved the wing mirrors and breathed in, allowing the tractor and trailer to pass.

My friend's adult daughter threw herself to the floor screaming and kicking her legs and thumping the floor because friend told her she would need to wait for the kettle to boil before she could make her some breakfast. I was dumbstruck tbh but friend later confided all four of her children (late teens to mid twenties) had never grown out of tantrums. I was only amazed that the daughter felt comfortable enough to do it whilst there was a visitor tbh.

I wonder why you moved abroad op 🧐

Not the best place to go when you aren’t used to reversing. Top tip, if your driving a flash car everyone* backs up for you.

The year we went in my car was a shock I can tell you.

*Does not include farmers and the locals still drive like their suicidal.

According to Noël Coward: A perfect martini should be made by filling a glass with gin, then waving it in the general direction of Italy.

@FlorenceOrTheMachine I've had similar. Even the policeman there didn't bother to reply to me. Rude! 😉

I didn't even know you could buy football stickers from a bakery.

Just call it a bread roll dickheads

@Fluffycloudland77 and the locals still drive like their suicidal.

I have to admit when I went to the same area with DH a couple of years ago, the lanes not far from Dartmouth. It did feel a bit like rally driving, me leaning as close to the side window as possibe to see ahead, yelling go, go, go ! then stop ! back up, back up ! hedge it !

Oh dear @BirmaBrite

If you are familiar with the South Hams you might know the Riverford Bridge over the Dart before you get to Totnes. It has traffic lights these days but back in the day it was first one on gets right of way or something like that.
Anyway my step brother was hitch hiking down to my parents' place - he hitchhiked for years, refusing to learn to drive because a fortune teller at the village fete had told him to beware of cars when he was a teenager! I never understood his logic as obviously by hitchhiking he was taking his chances with the driving skills of random drivers rather than trusting his own driving 🤷‍♀️ but hey ho.
Anyway he was in a big lorry that embarked across the bridge, turning the sharp corner onto it, only to meet several caravans halfway across in the other direction. None of them could reverse. The lorry driver had to reverse them all in order to be able to carry on across the bridge.

Sometimes aggressive drivers can be scary with their road rage, I've been there, but mostly it has the opposite effect on me. Tailgating? Drive slower and take an age turning left. If they are facing you down in a narrow lane? Fine, they will just have wait while you learn to reverse! 

Caveat. Try not to antagonise people like Kenneth Noye. A modicum of judgement is recommended for personal safety.

I had a full-blown tantrum at a bus stop in town one night, on my way home after a night out with friends.

At the time, my ex-boyfriend was refusing to move out (of my house) and making life difficult. We'd had a row the night before and he had ripped a door off its hinges and slammed it onto me. So, I was feeling a bit sore.

The only other people at the bus stop were three blokes, who were chatting together. I heard, or thought I heard, one of them mutter something about me, like some joke about what stop I'd get off at, "bet she goes all the way" -- that sort of thing (can't remember precisely what it was now, this was years ago! and in retrospect, it's possible I misheard).

I flew into a blind rage and basically offered them out in a sort of "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" way. I was kicking the lamp post in fury. It was actually an amazing feeling. I really wanted to fight. I felt like if I threw a punch, it would go right through their bodies and right through the whole building behind them. I felt like Godzilla. (I was a bit drunk, of course.)

The joke is that the bus didn't turn up! So we were stuck there for half an hour! They apologised, bewildered, and I calmed down, and we ended up chatting all the way home and they decided I was a top bird. I'm glad mobile phones and social media didn't exist then, though, or someone would definitely have posted my psychotic episode somewhere.

Jesus… you sound like a lot of fun 🙄

My mother berated and shouted at me for a good 10 minutes that the car I'd bought had a tow bar when I bought it and that I'd had it removed.
"It did have a tow bar" "you had it removed" "why would you do something so stupid" on and on she went.
It did not have a tow bar, and a few months later I found a picture of it from the sales floor to prove it never had a tow bar she didn't even apologise.
Why she got so worked up about this I'll never know.

Ds said he at a panini for lunch today, and I said no, actually you had a panino. He was as interested as he ever is in anything I say but I feel I’ve probably just set him up to be the insufferable undergraduate.

Thumbs up
But it needs an olive or three

They were, as you say, correcting her... To make it correct. Incorrect use may be common, but that doesn't make it correct.

Hahahaha! This is brilliant 😄

My friend was on a flight from LA to Melbourne. They were on the runway preparing for takeoff, but then an announcement came on to say they had to return to the gate.
Apparantly a woman in first class had kicked off because they didn't have pyjamas big enough for her (I guess Qantas gives you pyjamas in first class..). She had caused a big scene and demanded to be let off the plane, and couldn't be calmed. So they had to return to the gate so she could disembark. The debacle delayed takeoff by a few hours - on an A380 with 400 passengers on board.

Panino and paninos sounds better in an English sentence than panino and panini. It fits better in the English sentence to keep the plural s and remove the plural i.

Wedding photography client, bride in her 30’s, asking for money back because the day was too sunny for her pictures to look like a ‘dark fairytale’. Also complained the photographer should have explained that August was sunny. Threatened small

My mum threw on the floor a present because she wanted to be treated like she was special on her birthday. It was a bottle of Chanel perfume abs I was taking her out for dinner to a nice restaurant. Another time threw aside a top I had bought her we were going to a family party and she had told me she didn’t have anything nice to wear. This was in front of my friend and her partner. I think my mum thinks it’s endearing 🙄 she just shows herself up for being selfish and self indulged it’s pathetic
