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]

Snap! I just can't get it! I can knit just fine but no matter how many times I try, I can't crochet. After the last time and that led to me throwing the hooks across the room I gave them to a friend to try

Re-read it.....

So you can’t explain it? 🙄

I think we're about to see a hissy fit from a poster who doesn't read posts properly before criticising them.....

If you re-read it, there are 2 things that explains how the cashier knew he wasnt a Lloyd's customer.

1. slaps a cheque down on the counter and demands they cash it for him
2. he yells over her that he has been a customer at NatWest for years

Hope that helps.

@LovePoppy yes Lake Louise

😂

I've been following this latest spat and it seems this is a trick question to some, but I (think) 'get' what Obki means. Yes, his account was with NatWest. However - this technically does not mean he doesn't also have an account with Lloyds. How did he know where the Lloyds bank was, marched up with such certainty, etc? Is it perhaps possible, that he has two accounts (like many of us), one with NatWest, the other with Lloyds, and he got the two confused? Kind of if I have a mortgage and general every day account with one bank, and another savings account (term account or holiday account, what have you) with another bank. And yes, in real life I do have general bank account, and a building society account.

So..... say maybe the man confused his main account with Lloyds. Sure, his account he wanted to argue about was not with that bank, but maybe he mixed the two accounts up.

Just saying it's possible he is both a customer of NatWest and Lloyds but when to the wrong one to complain about the wrong account.

So, technically, @Obki is right that we don't know he isn't also a customer of Lloyds. Just that, for that particular account, he had the wrong bank.

It's got it all

Years ago when you could still smoke on flights, the airline I worked for had 2 daily flights to one particular destination. As an experiment we decided to make the later one non smoking. I was the Duty Manager at check in and I happened to be out the front when a couple arrived and at check in requested smoking seats. The check in agent explained that the afternoon flight was now non smoking and the wife threw an absolute tantrum. Actually screaming and blaming her husband for choosing the later flight. He was trying to calm her down and she wasn't having it. She finally yelled at him "you wouldn't be so happy if it was a non drinking flight" and she stormed off.

We changed their reservations to the following morning's flight even though their tickets didn't allow changes.

@Trez1510 OMG - we truly are sisters of some weird hissy-fit type! I too have wrecked a vacuum cleaner and a bath panel!!!

And Dyson are so bloody lovely, I phoned them up and confessed I'd broken the head and the connector by bashing it on the ground in a temper, and they send me replacement parts for free.

SO ASHAMED.

😂😂😂

I would have brought you coffee and sandwiches.

Nope, it’s a very popular internet story that’s been doing the rounds for years

To be fair. The airplane story normally has a racist angle to it

This is pretty much what I wanted to say. There are even dramatic videos. Here's a different take fb.watch/gsAB61qKni/

Oh, and the other passengers in economy applauded as I walked up to the 1st class section.

@UnfinishedUsernam I've not seen that video before. It's a bit twee, but as someone who has a close relative who has downs, I can confirm that fuckwits do think it's OK to behave like arseholes to them and refer to them as it.

Not when they are with me funnily enough, but when they are with their carer.

There's a message board on Reddit called 'That Happened' which features this story on it a few times. And 90% of all of those stories end with everyone applauding too 🙄

Do you think maybe she had to save up and didn't have the money before or was she just a bit odd wanting to wait until Christmas Eve for some reason do you think?

King Charles and pens ‘every stinking time’
Hilarious

I thought that was really funny too 🤣

We've all been there.

I can hand on heart confirm that the train incident really did happen to me.

No-one applauded though.

I'm really enjoying reading through these.
Mine is my Dh. One year out of nowhere je decided to make his own Christmas cake from scratch. He spent weeks planning which recipe and getting all the expensive ingredients to go in it. No idea who he was planning on serving it too as I hate Christmas cake (and pudding and mince pies!) but he was very invested.
Cake made he then spent weeks 'feeding' it with brandy (I think, I've never made one!)
I swear he spent more time with that sodding cake than he did with me that year .
Anyway the time came to decorate said cake. He made a start and something went awry with the marzipan. After much cursing and trying to put right he picked the whole thing off and wazzed it into the kitchen bin. In the following silence I suggested that maybe he could have just scraped off the marzipan and started again. His face dropped when he realised that that was probably what he should have done 🫣that was well over a decade ago and he hasn't tried again since!

@JennyNotFromTheBlock thanks Jenny!

Notice they never came back
