To ask what’s the funniest hissy fit you’ve seen from an adult?

[JustLyra]

I’m currently watching my estranged cousin make an utter twat of himself on social media (he has no privacy settings) throwing a massive hissy fit that our mutual cousin has “utterly and utterly” offended him by inviting me to the day part of her wedding, but no other cousins.

He has flown off at the deep end cursing her, but conveniently not mentioning that her fiancée (who he has never met) has been one of my DH’s closest friends for 30 plus years.

He only knows because he bumped into the stag party at the weekend and realised my DH is part of the wedding party,

I just want to get popcorn while I watch other relatives (frequent flying monkeys in tbt past) pandering to him and my elder brother and their pity party.

[Cousin who is getting married doesn’t give a fuck about his whinging. Ironically it’s made us chat for the first time in a long time so totally backfired on him]

I’m going to have to invent new swear words for dealing with my nemesis, the Alexa in my kitchen. She doesn’t listen to me, ignores me and plays the most stupid versions of music I ask her to play. No-one, NO-ONE, wants to hear an electro-funk extended remix of Justin Hayward’s Forever Autumn, you passive aggressive bitch.

if a woman can be a misogynist then she is, she listens to my husband and son and ignores me an my daughter but my daughter won’t argue with her. She maintains when the machines rise up against us our Alexa is coming for me. Bring it on you useless c*.

Oops, not quite the same but I once asked the cashier for some scissors so I could cut up my Nat West bank card in front of her after being (politely) annoyed about some refusal of service. The cashier very happily agreed, and as I stormed out I realised I was in a Lloyds bank…

My cousin's ex-girlfriend. Horrible woman.

She has tantrummed/wept/both, always followed by "Come on, Daniel, we're LEAVING!" over the following things:

When her barbecued chicken was slightly undercooked in the middle.

When my son threw her son's baseball cap into the dried-up beck (they were both 7 at the time).

When a wasp landed on her plate during lunch one summer.

When my aunt suggested she buy her 17 yo daughter (not her DGC, btw) an extra birthday cake because she wouldn't see her on her actual birthday.

I quite miss the stories, but my aunt is very relieved they're no longer together!

I've shouted at mine because she ignores me and claims to not understand me

I thought of another.
20 years ago taking a cheap flight, probably easyJet. Your boarding pass number was based on when you had checked, first person was number one etc. we were somewhere in the middle.
Waiting to board and a young couple run really fast to the boarding gate, sweating and red. They look really pleased with themselves and stand by the doors.
However they start calling boarding pass numbers numbers to board numbers 1-50 etc. Couple go nuts and start shouting about how they were first in the queue and they needed to be let on first.
They were calmly put in their place but insisted on standing on the way whilst watching everyone else board. They were the last on. Looked mad, couldn’t even sit together.

I've now got Forever Autumn running through my mind! Not that I mind, I love that song.

A friend of mine had a similar experience with a b/f. They'd met at the accountancy firm they'd both worked for. He seemed a prince - treated her to lovely meals, days out etc. His parents were lovely - made her so welcome, always thrilled to see her, encouraged their relationship ("Let me know when I need to look fo a hat!" hug hug etc) and then one day she saw him EXPLODE over some minor thing his mam had or hadn't done - and realised that they were frightened of him and were desperately hoping that the two of them would get married and he would move out.

She ran like the wind and never looked back.

I worked with a consultant who was an absolute arsehole normally but occasionally excelled himself. Usually I kept quiet and hoped he wasn't too arsey.

One day during ward round he knocked over a patients urine bottle onto the floor. No problem and usually I'd have mopped it up and let the doctors carry on.

However this morning he screamed at my very shy first year student and demanded she 'deal with this bloody mess'.
I was furious, my poor student was just starting to cone of her shell and I knew she'd be devastated by how he'd sspoken to her.

So I told him 'the mop bucket is in the sluice, you've made a mess, you can clean it up. We don't speak to our students like that on this ward.' He was silent and just ignored me, until a few seconds later when leaving the bedside he slipped on the urine and landed flat on his back.

He stood up furious, soaked in infected piss and turning red with anger.

I could barely contain myself as he hissed and spat at us and ended up in a laughing fit, with him going off to find a pair of scrubs.

He now clears up his mess.

@Twinsmummy1812 @Asher33 I mentioned the same in passing as part of a wider thread ages ago. Somehelpful poster informed me that alexa ignoring/misunderstanding women is pretty common because... it was programmed by a mostly male team.

@LovedFedAndNoonesDead I wish I'd had a similar experience when pregnant with twins on a train! I got my seat ok, but the lift at the other end wasn't working, and even though there was three staff members standing about chatting, none of them would help me get my suitcase down the stairs. I was having a difficult pregnancy and as well as feeling really quite unwell (all the fucking time) I'm not sure I should have been lifting heavy cases. I was so upset. I didn't have a hissy fit but I did cry when my mum collected me in the car!

Quelle surprise

😂

Husband had gone to see a band play, I was at home very poorly with very high temperature. I had fallen asleep on the sofa having weird dreams due to my high temperature. Husband comes back in early hours of the morning, wakes me up wearing a mask of said performer and scared the crap out of me. I propry went for him, furious, but then fell over as was very wobbly. He laughed and I picked up a very expensive model of his and threw it across the room.

Ah! So it’s not in my head! She’s replaced the printer as the most sworn at appliance in the house. I’m sure sometimes she is being deliberately obtuse…

Went to Wales with kids and DH who had a massive meltdown toddler style which resulted in him smashing his new phone - because it kept raining 🙄…it was Wales in March 🤷 l

I once went with my XH on a very expensive and supposedly romantic and thrilling holiday to the Canadian Rockies at Christmas time. Staying in a hotel famous for its magical setting and exceptional service and beauty etc. Frozen lake, mountains, lights sparkling against the snow, just gorgeous.

As the sun went down some people came out to skate on the frozen lake, which was just outside one of the windows of our room. I was leaning out of the window watching them twirling and laughing on the ice as I made breath clouds in the air, and was thinking how magical a scene it was.

What was XH doing? Furiously phoning reception to complain that there were people making a noise outside his window disturbing his peace (it was about 4pm) and demanding that they be removed. Do you know how much I paid for this holiday? Do you know I am a DOCTOR? Do you know how hard I work and how important it is that have peace and quiet on my holiday?... On and on...

As others have said on this thread, there is a reason why he is an XH!

I have thought of one. But it might not be a hissy fit, more an agressive arsehole.

I was walking in the car park at Asda, minding my own business.

This is relevant to the story, promise 😁- I was thinking in my head "minou, dont be spending loads of money. Just buy what you need. Dont buy stupid things you dont need" etc

Out jumps this man from his car, screaming at me saying "How dare you shake your head at me and judge me for parking in the child/parent space. I'm waiting for my wife and child. You do-gooders are all the same thinking you can judge people........"
The rant did not stop.

I tried to explain I didn't realise I was shaking my head, but even so, it had nothing to do with him. He actually said to me "Dont give me that, I KNOW, what you were thinking".

Incredible!

It did get a little scary, I walked off, but he followed me. Its oy when I approached the security guard, that he backed off.

I had a fully grown woman, sit in a puddle, on the wet ground, in the pouring rain, in the middle of a car parking space that I was turning into, because her friend would be there in a minute and she was reserving it. The car park was crazily busy at the time and the friend no where to be seen.

A previous poster has reminded me…

I used to work in our village shop and once watched a man have a tantrum because I wouldn’t sell him 24 cans of lager at 7.05am on a Sunday. He started getting irate so I tried to explain Sunday trading laws meant we legally weren’t allowed to sell alcohol until 10am, but he called me a stupid cunt and demanded to see the manager.

The manager had another stab at trying to explain alcohol licensing laws but this man wasn’t having any of it and insisted we were all incompetent. Manager chucked him out but not before he’d stamped his feet, chucked the 2 boxes of lager on the floor and slung a load of insults at everyone who was in there buying their newspapers.

Ooooh I watched someone wreck their car in an IKEA carpark once. They were trying to fit a lonnnngggg box in an old school Ford KA. The husband (I assume) was insistent it would fit, and in the end in a fit of pique he shoved it into the boot, through where the seats had been put down, between the front seats and straight through the windscreen.

Did she eventually move - or did you drive off??

I would have pulled right up next to her and leaned on the horn until she moved, but I can be like that sometimes.

I would have stayed there till I died.

Fortunately I was with my sister who pulled her phone out threatening to post her picture on all local social media groups. She soon struggled to her feet to get out of the picture!

How did the cashier know he wasn’t a Lloyds customer?

Lake Louise or jasper lol
