The reality is that everyone has a short fuse once in a while and is therefore bound to have an unnecessary and potentially unprompted outburst.

We suppose that it's human nature to snap… within reason, of course. For instance, who hasn't had a friend get snippy with you when clearly you intentionally or unintentionally struck a nerve? Usually, when this happens, you can take a step back and both parties can assess what led to this momentary meltdown. However, sometimes these moments do not happen between two individuals who know each other well and can find it within themselves to forgive one another for what went down. Sometimes, these outbursts come from total strangers, and more often than not, they come from entitled customers, neighbors, and coworkers.

    • gimpisgawd 20h ago Years back one of my friends worked at McDonald's, he accidentally short changed some guy by a penny. Guy came back in shouting at him for being a "useless thief".

    later but I didn't answer because I was trying to sleep it off, so he got crazy mad that even though it was a cell number, by me not answering it must mean that for whatever reason I wasn't home sick but had canceled

    plans to go out and do something else. He started sending endless texts accusing me of lying, demanding to know where I was, who I was out with, on and on. I refused to see him again after that. Any person who gets that possessive after a single date is a red flag.

    Cae_lyce • 20h ago My dad dropped his phone on the floor. He came to me to ask if his phone was dead as there was a zone at the bottom of his screen, which wasn't there before.

    I took a look and realized the black zone was just his phone's background. I told him what it was and he started to scream at me that he wasn't crazy nor senile,

    and that the black thing was not there before. I told him calmly I didn't touch anything and that the phone. couldn't have changed the background by itself, so it was already there from before and maybe he never noticed the black thing

    BurghFinsFan • 20h ago Had a lady scream at me once because I didn't ask her why she was in town. Lady, I don't even know you. How am I supposed to know you aren't from here? I don't miss retail. I hope she left town.

    Labradawgz90 • 19h ago I was working at Barnes and Noble. A woman said that there were no K's in the new fiction section. (I was helping someone else when she yelled this from the line.) I said the alphabet continues to the other side.

    She said no they just stop at J. I said I would be with you in a minute when I finish waiting on the person who was here first. When I got to her, she said that the fiction goes from A to J but stops and there are no K's. I said Here let me show you. I walked over and she said,

    See it goes A to J. I walked around to the other side of the bookcase and said, see, here are the K's and the rest of the alphabet continues. Well this woman was so angry at ME. I showed her what she was looking for and I was polite. But she was

    HottieBeautifull 20h ago . Ex GF and I were both sick. I was napping while she was studying (this was back in college). I wake up and she is giving me the silent treatment (her method of being upset with me).

    Apparently I somehow offended her while I was asleep? Ridiculous. I later found out that she had came over to me while I slept and blew her nose or coughed and I did not wake up or show concern.... SERIOUSLY.

    mrmonster459 • 20h ago I was at Dairy Queen, picking up ice cream. While I was there, we hear someone (a grown man) shout "HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE A BURGER, WITH MUSTARD ONLY!" and throw his burger at the wall.

    He gets up and leaves, and his wife and son (id guess between 12 and 14 years old) follow him. Most depressing part was when this literal child turns to the restaurant, and says "We're sorry."

    At such a young age, he has twice the maturity of his father. I felt so bad for him.
