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]

Me. First House, canvas wardrobe. Things always fell off and hit me on on the head but one day I just had enough. I took all the clothes out of the wardrobe, then the things off the top of the wardrobe, the washing basket and then the wardrobe and threw them down the stairs. Properly lost it, but I was so sick of being hit on the head with jumpers, blankets and crap.

Husband then attached it to the wall whilst I gathered up the clothes. Quietly.

Awwwww, this gave me the feels. Your Mum <3

Working in McDonald's and a man came in and ordered food to eat in during the lunch rush when it is absolutely packed and nowhere to sit. He then walked around the restaurant carrying his tray of food glaring at everybody sat down on tables. After 10 minutes of this, he stomped up to the counter and angrily told me that he has nowhere to sit (wtf am I supposed to do?). I apologise, tell him its very busy, etc. He then put his food on top of the bin and tried to eat standing up but other customers kept asking him to move so they could put stuff in the bin. By now he's ready to lose it, so he came back and demanded a takeaway bag because "this is fucking ridiculous" 🤣🤣

He then started throwing his food into the bag, while maintaining eye contact with me, and missed the bag so his burger fell straight on the floor and exploded. Cue a full on screaming tantrum, stamped on the burger, kicked the bin, swept the tray on the floor, and flounced out. What a prick.

My sister is the Queen of tantrums. She took us to a local landmark she wanted to show us. It's not big, but there's a small museum there, only two rooms, but full of useful information about the place and its not really worth going there without understanding the site.

She was furious we actually wanted to look round it properly as she'd visited already and had read it all, so stormed off. She spent the next twenty minutes sitting on a bench outside playing through each and every ringtone on her phone. She was in her thirties by then, not a teenager.

She similarly stopped when BIL and I both opined that we weren't keen on a certain exhibition we'd been too. In that case she stormed off to the cafe ad slowly drank two pots of tea whilst reading a newspaper cover to cover.

Hit on the head.....reminded me of mine.

Firstly, get my excuse in. I was pregnant and had severe SPD/PGP and was in a wheelchair. I was in WHSmith looking at a book and some bloke came up and just moved my chair out of his way. I was so shocked I didnt say anything, his wife had a go at him and apologised but I was really upset.

So......get back to the car and I am driving, about the only useful thing I could do. By this time the anger has kicked in. Ex DH next to me, 2 kids in the back. I flipped up the sun visor and it came out of its little clippy thing and smacked me in the face.......AGAIN. Annoying but....except I went completely fucking nuts, ripped it out of its housing and slung it full force out of the window into the (thankfully almost empty) car park. I burst into tears, shouted my head off about the whole world being a cunt. It was at this point Ex DH suggested I was over reacting. He is stil alive, only because I couldnt move far enough to fucking murder him.

I still wish pain on the bastard that moved my chair though.

Specialist doctor at a hospital where my job was literally to support the doctors to ensure their treatment plan ran smoothly. I had the effrontery to ask what I could do to help him. After screaming at me for 5 straight minutes, he stormed into the director of nursing's office, and I was then called in and handed the phone while the doc took great delight in hissing that I was going to be sorry. Turned out he got the CEO of the hospital group on the phone, and demanding this person have a go at me. The CEO told me to look serious but to know that this guy was the arsehole to end all arseholes, no one could stand him, he didn't know why they still allowed him privileges at the hospital and welcomed me to the team (had only been there 2 days). The doc was most disappointed I looked calm and later shoved a chair so it slammed in to me. I told him he had assaulted me and I would call the police if he did not knock it off. He avoided me after that but always made sure to give me a death stare. Made me massively popular and loads of people came to introduce themselves to me to show their support.

Really? So, lots of people loose their shit whilst having to endure the shitshow that is air travel. Wow. What a surprise. It's such a relaxing experience that they've paid ridiculous amounts of money for. Completely baffling 🤯🤷🏻‍♀️🙄

That’s brilliant. One of the best posts I’ve read on here. (We, willingly pay extra for an aisle seat for my husband as fir medical reasons he needs easy access to the bathroom)

My ex sil was quite 'highly strung' and prone to tantrums, we'd mostly tiptoe around her to avoid a scene.

Anyway, at one stage we both rented flats in the same converted house (a relative bought the building as a longterm investment thing and we both rented flats off him to cover his mortgage costs). Her and her fiance had first dibs and rented the cheaper upstairs flat, we paid more to rent the downstairs garden flat. More money, but suited us as we had a cat.

It soon became apparent that SIL thought she could enjoy lower rent and still have a garden as she could simply treat our garden as her own whenever she wanted and without asking! Id get home from work and she'd be sat at my garden table with her friend having a glass of wine. Id get my washing out of the washing machine, get out to the garden to find the line already full of her laundry. We didn't want to be c*nts about it so would say, yes you can dry your washing - but have the courtesy to ask first please.

The final straw was, the lawn was quite ropey so we decided, just before going on holiday, that it was the perfect opportunity to turn the soil over and plant grass seed. The day we were departing, my dh said to her "oh - in case you use the garden - stay off the grass. We've just seeded it and it cant be walked on for a couple of weeks."

Her jaw dropped. She pretty much exploded, literally spitting as she screamed "BUT IM HAVING A GARDEN PARTY TOMORROW!!! " she properly lost it and her fiance had to hold her back! Her fiance was trying to reason with her by meekly saying "well, it is their garden..." She was crying furiously and stamping her feet.

It was quite the scene 😬

To be fair to the pp with the flight upgrade story, when I was airline crew a long time ago we did sometimes upgrade people if another passenger was being a twat like that to them, if there was space. Just because it was fun seeing the twat’s expression.

I did see a lot of tantrums on planes. Mostly if we’d run out of food choices. One passenger who’d had to have chicken because we’d run out of beef told me at the breakfast service nine hours later that I could shove my pot of tea up my arse. He had literally sat and seethed about it for the entire flight. People get very irrational in the air.

I had a hysterical business man in club class insist I change the weather when we couldn’t take off due to a sudden blizzard. Literally demanded I stop the snow.

But my favourite was the woman who refused to get off the plane when we were diverted on landing into Buenos Aires due to a fire in the control tower, and had to make an impromptu night stop in Montevideo. All the passengers and crew were to be put up in hotels overnight. Crazy woman sat there refusing to get off, declaring “I can’t possibly spend the night in Uruguay, I’m from a good family!”

Wtf is wrong with some people, it looks like there's a growing population of arseholes amongst us.

My dad, totally out of character for him, threw the biggest ranting and raving fit I’d ever seen.
Mum and dad were decorating the lounge, wallpapering one wall with a lovely patterned design of a scenic Chinese willow pattern with figures on little boats. My gran lived with us and this was back in the days of doctors making house calls. Gran was upstairs in bed, after he’d examined her he walked into the lounge and spotted that one strip of paper was upside down, dad hadn’t finished papering, everything was still out, paste, table paper brushes. They decided to leave it as it was, it was in the corner, “no one else would notice, and anyway they didn’t have enough paper to redo it”

Fast forward to me arriving home from work late afternoon.
“ Dad, did you know that strip is on upside down?” Well he totally lost it, paper went in one direction, the brush in the other, luckily mum grabbed the bucket of paste before he could fling it, he then started stabbing the wall with the scissors, leaving deep gouges.
He stormed off to the pub leaving me and mum to clear up.
I:asked mum “What happened, is he ok”
Apparently , two other people had come in after the doctors visit and noticed this upside down strip of wallpaper and I was the last straw.
Dad arrived home slightly the worse for wear, went to bed and finished the papering the following day. The offending strip of paper stayed up and no one mentioned it again.

I'd cry too if you were my mother. You sound very selfish

My boss years ago - female bitch of the highest order.

in a meeting where she ranted and raved about my pathetic departmental results and shouting about how I had only got A grade instead of A like other departments - I can say what the ranking is but think of it like that. She was screaming at me that it just wasn’t good enough and that it really wasn’t acceptable and stamping her foot and jabbing her finger at me across the table and literally jumping up and down etc I was sitting around a table where everyone was sitting silent in shock - I calmly got up and stood with my head bowed and said - how can we get A when the maximum we can ever get is an A - that’s all we are judged on. There is no A* for our department available. No one moved and just at that moment - she was a buxom woman with like a bright pink tight dress on like a wrap around type of dress with a navy jacket and her boob kind of like flopped out of the dress but still in her big white bra - it was like in slow motion and everyone’s eyes were captivated by the breast in the bra flop and there was like a silence and she stormed off and she never returned and went on sick leave shortly after it was horrific

I meant we had only got A grade instead of A* if you compare it to gcse results

Woman threw a toddler tantrums at the bar when we were in a restaurant becuase they couldn’t do her a raspberry mojito that wasn’t on the menu.

Many years ago I was crossing the road at a set of traffic lights with a group of friends on a night out. It was one of those situations when the lights were about to change and we were dithering whether we should run across and risk them changing or delay and wait for the safer option. Of course we chose to run across (in heels) and of course the lights changed before we quite made it to the other side. The driver at the lights wasn't happy and gave a blast on his car horn. Unfortunately for him, he must have really punched that horn as it obviously stuck and continued to blare the whole way up the road, and we could still hear it even when the car was no longer in sight. My entire group could barely stand for laughing so hard about that.

Me definitely me.

I looked in the back garden and there was a ball, flat as a pancake and dirty,
I waited for my child to come home , "Is this your ball?
It wasn't so it went over the fence, back to next door.
10 mins later, nasty neighbour is shouting about giving the ball back, well looking over a 6 foot fence on a chair.
I must admit I said "i already did you stupid sod"
60 mins later , the 6 3" husband is banging on the door screaming I swore in front of his child 15F, that I was a coward for not opening the door.
They called the police, sat drinking coffee with a policeman talking about stealing balls was so funny.

Belly laughed at this one 😄

This story, or versions of it, has been going around for decades. Most common version involves a racist passenger refusing to sit beside a black passenger, and the black passenger getting upgraded to first class, while racist passenger is escorted from plane to clapping.

Loving these

I worked in a children’s play area that was in a restaurant and bar complex around 20 years ago. Two women came in with four children around 8-10 years old and after depositing the children in the play area headed for the bar. After a bottle of wine between them the barman cut them off explaining they had to be responsible for their children but offering them a variety of non alcoholic drinks. Cue tantrum from one of the women at the bar trying to claim but they weren’t drunk, they were over 18, the barman was just being mean etc. Eventually the manager got involved and told them his barman’s word was final and they had two choices either order non alcoholic drinks or vacate the premises.

My stepdad during a heated argument with my mum...fucked her mobile phone at the wall in childish rage.

Shame it was actually his own phone, the big twat.

😂😅🤣
