Page 18 | To ask the most immature or spoiled behaviour you've seen from an adult?

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) [grin]

Agreed, I was quite enjoying it in between working until it was derailed by nonsense.

Shame

Still doesnt make sense.

You claim you have NEVER had a wristband put on you 'like a baby' (a very abalist and offensive comment) in 20 years of attending festivals, which is standard protocol... which festivals have you been attending?

Demanding anything would be rude but you attitude, assumptions, insults and incorrect knowledge on wristbands make it seem like she didnt 'demand' you just dont understand the standard ettiquette and though a completely average request was wrong.

The senario doesnt actually matter at all it was your ignorance being called out and you the continued to display it.

Christ, some of you could start an argument in an empty room.

Demanding three wristbands because you're that pernickety is rude. If you have such precise rules about how you'll wear a wristband either spell them out, do it yourself, or ask a friend. Don't hold up a massive queue making a minimum wage employee do it over and over.

If 795 people were perfectly able to put on their own wristbands and didn't expect anyone to do it for them then it clearly is not some impossible hardship, regardless of what hypotheticals posters can invent.

I had a full on yell in a field today, does that count?
I was letting out my anger over a conversation that happened on Monday.
I was really giving it some, and then thought I'd better check no one was innocently walking their dog. They weren't. I might see if I've made it to the residents' FB page though!

I know a woman of retirement age, who stamps, screams, throws things and flings herself on the floor if things don’t go exactly her way.
And no, she doesn’t have any learning delays. She is simply extremely controlling.

At the moment Meghan M whining and complaining while Pakistan, a Commonwealth country is in crisis, and banging on about her healing is winding me up a bit. I know I don’t know her but I find her behaviour immature and self obsessed.

Me, this morning because my partner disagreed with me over something. I lost my mind. In my defence I’m averaging 4 hours sleep a night and have 4 week old twins.

Me this morning, hitting my head numerous times with my fists in the bedroom having a meltdown because despite getting everyone up at 7am we were now going to be late for a 10am appointment.

I was waiting outside the school gates for my son a few years ago, along with some other parents. I had my dog with me on a lead. Some women were smoking while they were standing there, and one of them flicked her lit ciggie butt away, which hit and burned my dog on the nose. I was expecting an apology, but instead they all began to titter and laugh among themselves. I still don't understand the reaction, but suffice to say that there are some CFs on the school run.

Ooooh, and my next pregnancy was B/G twins. We told everyone the sexes, but kept their names secret until they were born as we did with DD1. Mum was not remotely interested in the girl twin, but kept insisting on telling everyone that we were calling the boy Jamie. We assured her that we absolutely were not. Shortly before their due date, she presented us with a set of blue towels with the name, “Jamie” monogrammed on them. (Once again, disregarding the girl twin). We told her that neither baby was going to be called Jamie, so maybe she could donate them to someone with that name. Nope…. When the twins were born, we announced their ACTUAL names and her first response was “But what about the towels?”

Not in this league, but my Dsis's in-laws don't understand the concept of thinking through names for a baby. Dsis and BIL told them, when asked, that they were considering a certain name, e.g. Maria for their then unborn child. They also mentioned a couple of other names but that Maria was the current favourite. Next thing you know they receive a ton of stuff personalised for Maria - a family heirloom set of jewellery that they'd had engraved specifically for the baby (there are no other Marias in the family), bed linen, cuddly toys, bags, the lot. Luckily they liked the name and Dsis is easy going, so they went with it, but she wasn't very happy at having the choice effectively made for her when they hadn't yet decided, and made up her mind not to reveal name choices again until they were 100% sure.

@HellaFitzgerald Sounds like a person with a learning disability, so maybe you should think about these things before you start mocking people online. My son has a LD (he is 19) and used to have major moments like this and the amount of people like you who stop watch and have a good old snigger made him worse. Shame on you! Next time keep
your nib out and keep walking.

Horrible. And how you can be a mother to little babies and children, hugging them and smothering them with kisses when you smoke is weird to me! I stopped smoking because baby was more important. But I've also sat next to a pregnant woman who was smoking at a BBQ lunch.

My middle age SIL who has given me no end of amusement over the years.

I have seen her have massive tantrums over her looks. She constantly posts glamour pictures of herself on FB so people comment on them and she has glamour shots of herself on her walls.

If we are all going out, her mum will come down stairs to see what she is wearing and tell her to get changed. Or, she'll come down and then go up and get changed. She once spent a whole year getting ready for a distant relatives wedding (joined a gym, lost weight, had a fake tan, hair extensions, fake nails and spent months trying to find a dress). Then she had a massive meltdown when the rest of us all walked out looking really nice too. She once started pulling out her hair, screaming that it wasn't right and she hated it.

She hasn't got anything wrong with her, she is just a bloody nightmare and I have had to put up with her behaviour for years, but also had a massive laugh at it too.

This reminds me of my sil on my wedding day.

Came round and got hissy with me about her hair, on my wedding day, like jog on love! She apologised thankfully.

@Isonthecase

I used to live in Devon. Lots of narrow lanes, limited passing points. Often it was easier to reverse at high speed, some guy once rolled down his window to compliment me on my excellent speedy reversing. But sometimes the car driver coming the other way would somehow rub me up the wrong way by aggressively driving straight at me. My speciality is to look for the gear stick - clue for the other driver - this is going to be challenging - then reverse slowly into the bank. Pull forward. Smile. Look for the gear stick. Reverse slowly into the bank on the other side. Slowly zigzag back to the nearest passing point as if you have never reversed a car before. Remember to smile apologetically.

Call me petty or a lot of other things but we have to get our laughs where we can!

Driving on a narrow road in Italy with a precipice on one side I came face to face with an Italian boy racer.

He made it very clear that he expected me to do the reversing. So, I 'searched for reverse' - with a few false starts - and began to reverse verrrrrrrrrry slowly.

Cue lots of waving of hands - and a few Latin expletives, no doubt, then he reversed very quickly into the closer passing place.

But afternoon tea isnt 'a tonne of cake' on average it's usually per indervidual person 4 sandwhichs, a scone (choice of sweet or cheese) and usually 3 indervidual bites of cake.

Thats whats confusing, its not a dessert buffet theres plenty of savory things on an afternoon tea, Im usually full before even reaching the cake stage and its not an over abundance of cake its actually a small amount akin to a small desert.

Since this is about being immature, I'm going to dive right in.

There is no such thing as indervidual. That isnt a word.

Individual. It is spelled individual.

I’ve seen some terrible behaviour depending on how you look at it in my time. The majority of them from my mother sadly.

she used to berate poor salespeople in shops until they were so exhausted and it was so loud and attracting so much attention that they would just give in. Usually it would be something that she wanted to return but they didn’t have a policy of returns for that particular item or for that set of circumstances. I would have to go with her and stand by as some kind of support. I used to feel so bad because I knew she wasn’t entitled and I also knew this was her repeated behaviour so her annoyance wasn’t about that particular item or salesperson…. It was an act to get her way. She would start reasonable, then get annoyed then angry and then if she hadn’t managed to wear them down by that point she would burst into tears and of course that was her trump card. I felt so bad for those sales people. Usually women. Even as a child I knew she was bullying them. It took me til I was 40 to realise that was her MO…: with everyone. Including me.
