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)

Something similar happened to me, except a bloke in an adjacent seat got up, told the rude man he was out of order in front of everyone, and told me to sit in his seat
rude man hid behind his metro for the hour it took to get to London

This was a few weeks ago in a department store. Some woman (40s) was having a complete conniption outside the changing rooms, screaming at a couple of sales assistants. She had a horribly entitled way of speaking. It seemed her complaint was that the clothing sizes were all wrong on the manufacturer's labels and this was somehow the stores fault. I couldn't believe it when she threw the pile of clothes she had in her arms on the floor and started stamping on them. I can still hear her now as she kept saying, 'I know blah blah blah, I know this blah blah, I know that blah blah... like she was privy to some higher knowledge or intelligence that no one else knew.'

Absolutely awful behaviour. I don't know why some women behave like this or think that it is acceptable! The whole situation was so illogical and totally ridiculous. I felt sorry for the two sales girls. One looked absolutely terrified and looked like she was about to burst into tears.

@JaneorEleven exactly as @JenniferBarkley said.

Everyone else agreed to a previous date accept her. She needed her holiday! I cared for him 18 hours a day. She works 30 hours pw term time only. Fit and healthy.
Now NC.

Patient with no cognitive impairment who didn't like the lunch he had ordered threw it to the ground smashing the plate.

Another patient who was across the bay from a cardiac arrest (plus arrest trolley, multiple doctors and nurses, crash team, emergency buzzer going off). She wrang the buzzer and asked for a cup of tea but was told it would be a little while as someone was very unwell. The curtain had been pulled but its very obvious that something is very wrong. Whilst her nurse was doing CPR 6m away the patient emailed a complaint to the chief executive that she hadn't been given a cup of tea in a timely manner.

I can relate. My stepson, in his 20s when he still lived with us didn't like cream but loved chocolate and DH and l got a box of chocolate eclairs. Ss had eaten his cake we had bought him especially (sans cream) and he also had some chocolate mousse desserts that DH and l never ate.
He was completely serious when looking in fridge and seeing two chocolate eclairs left in asking if he could just have the chocolate off the top of them, leaving us with just the choux pastry and cream part .l told him no in no uncertain terms and he almost ran into lounge to tell daddy how unfair it was as we'd still have the bottom part.
Thankfully even dh didn't pander to him (just for once) or l seriously think ld have stuck Ss face in the eclairs before letting him do that as this was one of a long line of ridiculously entitled incidents.

Colleague would look at me eating an apple or at my leather boots or breasts and have an erection. Then he would try to push it down with one leg and looked like an upturned woodlouse. He also used to open my window at night after l closed it, even entering one lunchtime when he wasn't in the office. Total weirdo.

i got called entitled yesterday.

Went to Colchester Zoo, went to use the toilets.
I’m disabled so went to wait by the door, woman behind me shouts “queue is for both toilets!”
I apologised and said I didn’t realise there were other disabled people waiting.
“there aren’t but we are waiting for toilets and why should you be entitled to use one for you!”
her son then came out of the disabled toilet and I wheeled myself in before she could say anything.

Lady in Costa yesterday, berating the staff as her coffee wasn’t right, in a loud voice saying “you haven’t listened to a word I said” Just speaking to the staff like they were toddlers.
her poor children looked mortified. I just don’t understand people sometimes, getting that worked up over a coffee

My dh storming off in the middle of monopoly (in front of the kids) because I hadn't informed him I'd landed on his property

Dsis getting angry over a card game and leaving (she was supposed to be staying another 3 days) on Boxing Day

Me having a tantrum because I couldn't find the middle of the blender lid (a small round plastic tube that came out) and I wanted to blend bolognaise sauce. Dh solved it using clingfilm. The lid was in the blender, it smashed when I turned it on ruining the sauce. (And the blender)

A former employee-thank god! Was the most childish person I have ever met. She threw books on the floor because apparently they fell out, she would have massive tantrums over the most innocuous things, some that she made up and wound herself up about, she would turn off music if she didn’t like it and was the biggest holder of grudges I have ever met. It was like working go with an eight year old. When she left she took down all the photos from the board that included her.

Wow. Is this normal behaviour for her, or did becoming a grandmother send her temporarily crackers?

My ex bil. His son was about 8. Both mad keen on cars. My parents bought the gs a lovely model car. (He had several he had on display, and so did his dad) On opening gs was thrilled but his dad sat there with a pet lip. Lots of oooing and ahhing. He was red with anger and envy. So in the middle of opening presents, he said “come on we’re going home” Nephew goes to get his car, and his dad says “No, Gran and grandad bought you that, it stays here” much tears from dsis (yes she was being emotionally abused it emerged later) the kids and mum and dad were trying to hold it together, but we had the whole extended family round.
A few weeks later we were at theirs and lo and behold bil had bought himself the same model. Not to be touched by dn.

I cried and had a tantrum because the Christmas tree DH and DS brought home was too big. Had to go and cry in my room. Have now bought artificial tree to avoid issues!

My friend's ex husband - we were all on holiday together and their son wanted a toy my daughter had already picked up to buy with her money. There were plenty of others but no, she wanted the one my daughter had

So l gently pointed out there were plenty more in the basket at which point he took his son's hand and stormed out of the shop.

Pathetic behaviour and guess what? Their ds has learnt this is how you behave and is a spoilt and entitled child now. Shame cos the mum is nothing like that .

I was seeing a guy who (unbeknown to me) was also seeing another woman. By pure coincidence me and this woman who was loosely known to me ended up on the same night out and after a few drinks the truth came out about him.

He was outraged that he'd been caught out but rather than hold his hands up and apologise for being a cheat, he blamed me for telling the other woman! called me a 'grass' and said I'd ruined his life. He actually became quite threatening and abusive so I had to block him. I was absolutely stunned at the cheek of him and his inability to accept any sort of responsibility but I suppose I dodged a bullet.

Our HR manager... I regularly jump out of my skin when he slams his desk with his fist after a phone call, or if something is not going his way. It's not a big company, but he is a very highly strung person and cannot deal with the smallest amount of stress.

Constant huffing and puffing all day long.

He doesn't do it when the boss, a male, is around though 🤔

Weird - I can’t believe I did it.
pregnant with DC1, I put together a cot that was delivered, pleased with my efforts, when I heard DH coming home I hid (literally 8months pregnant) under the cot (why?).
he came in the bedroom, saw the cot but not me, because I was under it, and I then came out after 10 minutes sobbing because he hadn’t looked for me. He was confused and said he’d presumed I was out but I wouldn’t be placated and insisted that he should have looked for me. I cried for ages. He was totally bemused. It all seemed so rational at the time!

A university classmate of mine was the first in her group of friends to get engaged, and was immensely proud of (and boastful about) her ring, which was a solitaire diamond. Until a few months later when another woman in the group got engaged and her ring had 3 diamonds. The first woman gave her ring back to her fiancé and told him to make sure it “had more diamonds than Sarah’s” when he gave it back to her. More fool him, he didn’t see the glaring red flags and he actually pandered to her and presented her with the ring with stones added.

What does SD stand for? If she's your daughter you're the one who raised her.

An American lady l know who is a big Trump fan and could not bear the fact that all her English fans thought the very opposite. If anyone disagreed with her about this or anything else, she would get upset and tell us that we shouldn’t be talking about things that upset her. She has a bad leg, in common with many people, but, if she is losing a game or feels people are not paying her enough attention, she will give loud cries of pain like a small child who has fallen over. She is a very kind lady but, although she has lived here for decades and considers herself more English than the English, is the most stereotypical American you could meet.

Years ago I'd had a crush on this musician I knew of vaguely. I matched with him on Tinder and couldn't believe my luck, we got talking however he didn't reply for a week so I assumed he wasn't interested.
He then suddenly got back in touch saying that he was looking for a 'female-led relationship', whatever that is.
Then got annoyed because I hadn't replied in 42 minutes despite him taking a bloody week.
Anyway, I told him it wasn't really what I was looking for, and he seemed to understand.
Several weeks later and I ended up meeting someone else. The first guy got in touch and asked if I wanted to go for a drink.
I said that would be nice, if we could just be friends.
He seemed to be furious that anyone dared reject him, told me, "Lol, you're so odd and random." And blocked me.
Very weird behaviour from a 30 year old man!

A 30 year old woman telling her Dad he won't see his grandchildren if he leaves their Mum.

Surely that's not legal...

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.

What we are wearing that should be. So, if we are looking nice, she'll go put something on to try and look better and fail
