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 have a one star TripAdvisor review about me, the result of almost exactly this situation. Sunday lunch. A woman and her son insisting that chicken breasts 'didn't come on the bone' 🙄. Tried to explain what was meant by 'supreme' but they were having none of it. His husband and the dad looked mortified so they clearly pulled that sort of crap all the fucking time. So glad to be out of catering.

Sounds like my ex boss. God, she was awful.

I once saw 2 very senior managers come to physical blows during a "fun" company pub quiz.

Many years ago my ex Bf and I helped his best friend and his gf move house. As a treat for helping the best friends mum treated us all to takeaway pizza. His mum was an absolute angel id known her for years (we were about 20 at the time). The girlfriend wanted a veggie pizza and gave very specific instructions about extra toppings to include and what to remove. The mum followed this to the letter came back with a large stuffed crust veggie pizza to this girls exact instructions just for her and then 2 large meat pizzas for the rest of us to share (6 people). The girlfriend threw the biggest tantrum because the pizza had sweetcorn on it (which she asked for we all heard and it was written down by her) refused to eat it. Threw it in the bin and then demanded we take all the meat off one of the other pizzas for her as she was “veggie” so she could have that to herself and the 6 of us could just share one large pizza…. The mum said she wouldn’t do that.
she screamed and screamed at her boyfriend until he went up to the chip shop up the road and got her something. He comes back with large battered sausage and chips for her.
one of our other friends said I thought you were veggie … the girlfriend said she was but sausages didn’t count.

wasn’t the only incident and our friend couldn’t understand why we didn’t enjoy having our with them as a couple

Adults who behave entitled at restaurants give me secondhand embarrassment.

I know the manager of our local Sainsburys.
He says he’s “ruined” lots of people’s entire Christmases (according to them)

.

In my old job, a very memorable customer who screeched, flailed her arms and swept the till top display (stationery, some sweets, maybe a book or two) onto the floor because she didn't win anything on a scratch card.

I love Christmas Eve retail stories. Obviously it’s horrendous for the staff but it baffles me every single year how people can be so disorganised yet so demanding and presumptuous.

Always the same folk year after year, too. They never learn.

SIL, about 25 years ago. Prior to that MIL had paid for a car and SIL paid “half” £500 towards the 4/5K price. When MIL sold said car a few years later SIL said “don’t forget half that car is mine, so I’ll have half the money you get for it.” SIL was mid 30’s at the time, and not short of money.

Love this 🤣🤣🤣

I once yelled at my DH because he wouldn't come down a short staircase because it said it was only for going up. It was about 10 stairs.

I was pregnant at the time and burst into tears after shouting at him.

I think that was one of the reasons he didn't want any more kids!

I think I would have to walk away to stop myself from laughing if I saw an adult have a toddler like tantrum.

That said, I did similar when I was early pregnant with dd. I was hungry, and had no cereal in which is what I craved. Opened my purse to see if I had any money. No. No worries, I can use my card.

Except I can’t cos dh had taken it. I rang him in floods of tears accusing him of wanting me to starve. I was very dramatic. He came home from work, chucked my card at me, and went back to work.

I had to do a major apology that evening, and he’s still not quite forgiven me for it…10 years later

Meant to quote this when I said love it 🤣🤣🤣I can identify with this so much…I’ve done similar. I still do the one where you don’t tell anyone it’s your birthday and then get upset when no one remembers 🤪🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

No such thing as "paninis

Not in Italian, no. But in English, the plural usually adds an s.

That's a disappointingly sensible explanation 🤣

Aren't you tempted to smack his bottom/send him to the naughty step/ stuff a dummy in his mouth?

He took your card and left you with no access to money. He should have been apologising!

My dad once went off to a work site inspection (a 9 hour drive away and wouldnt be home for a week) and he had been so distracted that morning that he took all the keys from bowl. He couldnt explain what he had been thinking but he took everyone's keys; my mum's, mine and my sister's house keys and my mum's car keys for her car. He had left at about 4am. We all got up at normal time and when we tried to all leave for school/work, we couldn't unlock the door. Trapped inside!
Finally got hold of my dad and he had a huge strop about having to sort it out and get the keys back to us. It was his bloody fault!
Sorted out a same day courier, paid a fortune and got the keys to us that evening.

My XMIL burst into tears because I didn't want a balloon arch at my wedding.

A colleague once made me tea and gobbed in it. Luckily I spotted it. She had form.

I went round a friend's for dinner and her partner stropped off because he thought another guest had more food than him .

Ah bless. That's not how language works.

In Latin, the plural of forum is fora. In English, it's forums.

In Italian, panino is singular and panini is plural. In English, panini is used to refer to the singular.

As pretty much any pub or cafe menu would tell you. And yeah- you don't need an accent for café either, in English.

Sweet of you to try to help though.

Middle aged man in Costa coffee. I'm guessing this kind of coffee shop was new to him as he stood there in the queue looking up at the menu board loudly huffing and tutting and saying "for goodness sake". Got to the front of the queue and the server asked what he'd like. In a very stroppy voice, he retorted "can I just have an actual cup of coffee? You know - just actual coffee in a coffee shop and not all that nonsense up there??" (indicating the menu board).

Server waited a beat and, totally devoid of tone, replied "yes."

"Oh" he replied, wind totally taken from his sails.

I went to see the rocky horror show a couple of years ago, and there was a woman a couple of rows in front who kept getting up and dancing, blocking the view for everyone behind her. She was right next to the aisle so could've gone there if she wanted to dance.
The lady in the seat behind her asked her to sit down as she couldn't see, dancing woman started arguing with her etc then went off crying. Dancing woman's husband came over and said to the other woman behind, 'if you were a bloke I would've punched you, you've upset my wife when she just wanted to enjoy herself' I couldn't believe what I was hearing! They actually talked for a bit longer and ended up amicable, god knows why she even gave him the time of day. They ended up being sat somewhere else at the wife's request thankfully!

My sister. A well respected surgeon consultant - regularly stamps her foot on her husband and me and others. She does some private work as well as nhs work and is so well respected operated on royalty and celeb and top politicians etc

Once I was going to take her and her husband to the pub for lunch - 3 hours notice I was ready at 12. At 12 she was all dressed up
except she had a knot in her hair she started screaming at me and then her husband - apparently her know was not her fault but ours. Eventually she was pacified and we went to the pub. She had a hissy fit that the champagne she drinks wasn’t available and proceeded to do the biggest Miss Piggy flounce of all time crying and stamping her foot at the manager. All in a shaky voice of ‘you have no idea who I am and the stress of my job you’ve done this deliberately’ etc honestly I just was so shocked I sat there and I was like a rabbit in the headlights. It’s like she has a work persona and then a nutter persona. she has a child and micromanages every minute of his day - Spanish, mandarin and so on - she literally tells him what to say and do 24/7 it is scary - he has three tutors that rotate and he is a mini version of her.
I don’t speak to any of them now.

her husband also a surgeon is normal or appears normal. His parents both died when he was 20 and he has no other family, I wonder why he stays.
literally she measures out what her 12 year old son can eat or how much milk ….

"Can I please have a cheese and ham toasted sandwiches? "

Ok then 😅

My uncle would berate anyone who ate fast food and in general was extremely fatphobic. He meticulously detailed his ultra healthy recipes (made his own cheese etc). He also gave x amount of time, can't remember now, since his last fast food meal.

DH and DBro caught him regularly eating fried chicken & chips from next door on our families' business premise via CCTV.
