Most Ridiculous Reasons Adults Threw Temper Tantrums and more...

Just because you grow older and occasionally more wizened by the endless series of curveballs that life decides to throw your way doesn't mean that you're not susceptible to giving in to a full on childish temper tantrum. Sometimes, you simply wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and you hit your breaking point out of nowhere. Or, perhaps you end up being on the receiving end of a particularly irrational breakdown. Maybe you're out and about, minding your business at a grocery store, waiting in line patiently, only to end up seeing an adult completely lose themselves over an item that they thought was discounted, but come to realize is actually selling at full price. Or, better (worse?) yet, you're out driving around and realize that you're sharing the road with another driver who seems bent on making everyone else's life miserable by recklessly navigating the road with nothing but rage in their eyes.

You really never know when you're going to cross paths with someone who has ceased to maintain their grasp on peace. The moment that you witness that temper tantrum present itself though, that's when it gets very real, very quickly. It ultimately can fall on you to proactively, mindfully work to diffuse the situation as soon as possible. The thing about catching someone in the middle of a temper tantrum is that they're most often likely to lash back out at anyone and everyone that's just trying to help them settle down. Sometimes the best course of action can be to simply remove yourself from the environment altogether.

With that being said, these folks were certainly tested when they found themselves sharing space with someone who basically lost their mind for a hot second. We're not sure if the general reaction when you see one of these kinds of temper tantrums is panic, compassion, or more anger. In these tumultuous times that we all find ourselves muddling through, it seems like more than ever people are hitting their breaking limits. The world's always been a mess of chaos and life has certainly always loved to be difficult. But when you find yourself living through an era marked by historical adversity, it's particularly tough to keep that head above water and not lose sight of the fact that the hard times will give way at one point or another to just a little bit of that long sought after peace.

At the end of the day, we only hope that these adults were able to learn from their momentary temper tantrums, put the pieces back together, and crack on to do things a bit better and more calmly in the future. That's all you can really do. Just learn from the times that you weren't able to share the best version of yourself with the rest of the world. And I mean, hey, you might even be able to look back at the most ridiculous temper tantrums from a vantage point in the future that has you laughing over just how ridiculous things ended up getting.

Parents were matter of factly being like this is happening. Tried to tell them she'd just pay for her portion, parents calmly replied she'd said that before and hadn't. Complained that they could afford it. Parents calmly ignored her. Whined about how much more it cost for her to have her own plan than stay on theirs.

Boss Demands Daily Email Check, Employee Puts It On Time Sheet

It's amazing how quickly stupid tasks become irrelevant the moment it starts costing the company money. The powers that be came down and told this part-timer that they'd have to check their email daily, so naturally, for this employee, it seemed like that should count on company time. For another one, here's a micromanager who demanded too many updates, so an employee fought back with even more updates.

1.

Font - O r/MaliciousCompliance - Posted by u/OtherLtDan 19 days ago O 2 11 e14 3 18 E 11 2 Must check my work email every single day? Ok! oc S So I was working for a small private ambulance company that ended up getting bought out by a larger corporation. To folks that have done this kind of work, no it wasn't the company you're thinking of, but this new corporation wanted to be just like them.

2.

Font - So corporate sends out a directive that all employees must check their work email at least once every 24 hours. No exceptions! Now I'm a lowly part-timer, so it would occasionally be weeks in between my shifts. The fun part is, I usually played Field Supervisor on my shifts I did work. So in order to be in compliance with the corporate directive, I set my work email to update every day at the same time on my phone. I would then log my 15 minutes of email checking on my paycheck so I would

3.

Font - Didn't check your email while you were on shift because you were too busy trying to figure out what made grandma's ambulance ride to the doctor medically necessary? That's ok. Just check it when you get home. Make sure you put it on your timesheet, though! It took a couple pay cycles, but eventually I get a call (on my day off), asking why I'm logging 1.75

4.

Font - hours on weeks that I didn't even work. I explained that I was just following their corporate directive. I was told at that point that I no longer was able to log those hours. I told them to give me that in writing as that goes against labor laws. Needless to say, the directive to check email every day got revoked. Oh, but I did put down 30 minutes on my timesheet for the call as it took 22 minutes.

5.

Organism - Paladin_Aranaos 19 days ago 2 Beautiful malicious compliance. Especially the request of the directive in writing for the labor board... they LOVE written rules that violate laws. 1 6.0k | Reply Share *. OtherLtDan 19 days ago Corporate HR loved dealing with me.

Font - Garden_gnome1609 18 days ago This is my favorite kind of MC. No, I don't work for free..ever. Not for one single second. My workplace wanted us to submit a form daily through an app before we walked into the door of the building. I told them I don't work before I punch in and I don't use my personal phone for work so if they want me to use an app they'll have to provide me a phone and pay me for my time to submit the form...suddenly I don't have to do any of that stuff.

7.

Font - An-Old-Fart 19 days ago Well done. Isn't it amazing that important corporate directives that inconvenience the workers are no longer important when it costs the corporation money?

Creepy Signs That Make Their Message Clear

The world is full of unforeseen hazards, and we can thank creepy sign makers for clueing the rest of us in on all the junk we could step into.

Tumblr Post: A Different Take On How Relationships Evolve Over Time

The movies and romance books in this world have an uncanny knack for instilling in so many of us an unrealistic idea about what love with our respective partners is supposed to look like. This can ultimately contribute towards all kinds of unnecessary anxiety, guilt, sadness, frustration because that love affair that you were once so completely, helplessly overwhelmed by has ended up looking like something that doesn't line up with the picture that a Rom-Com paints. With that being said, this heartfelt Tumblr post effectively breaks down the stereotypes that encircle what a loving relationship can look like with your partner.

1.

Font - A post about romantic relationships jesuis-kate: pretty-littlefitness: theworrierqueen: chazzfox: helloelloh: so l've been in a relationship for 5 years now. And I see a lot of posts about how people think relationships mean having butterflies forever, your heart beating faster when they walk into a room, about cuddling together every night, legs intertwined, that you'd be so happy to live together you'd

2.

Font - sleep on a double bed with each other every night. And its not really like that, at least not to me. You stop getting the butterflies when you live together. Your heart no longer speeds up when you see them, but instead, everything calms down. When youre in the room with them, you feel calm, and secure. When you cuddle them you feel your heart beat slow, and the sound of their breathing carry you towards comfort. It doesnt feel like a roller coaster anymore, it feels like home. You don't

3.

Font - legs twisted between theirs so tight its hard to tell where yours begin and theirs end. Instead, you sleep comfortably, side by side, sometimes facing different directions. But every night, you find yourself scooting backwards on the bed so you bump into them. You snuggle against their arm, or stroke their hair as they fall asleep. There are nights when my boyfriend, in his sleep, reaches around me and pulls me to him, like a child with his teddybear, like I am his comfort. In the wee hou

4.

Font - blue and you see through cracked eyes, you curl into their chest and inhale their scent before drifting back to sleep. Kisses aren't always romantic and firey anymore. But there are so much more of them now. There are cold kisses when you're eating ice cream in the summer, and sticky kisses over breakfast pancakes. There's "im leaving now" kisses, and "one more kiss before you go" kisses. There's sleepy morning kisses before work, when you don't remember the alarm going off but instead th

5.

Font - There's kisses before sleep, and, you are so sweet with the things you do kisses. There's kisses because you treat animals so tenderly, and l'm so glad i'm with you and not someone else kisses. There's quick kisses in the aisles of the grocery store, when its loud and you gravitate together, when instead of having your own personal space and their own personal space, its both of yours together, and you step into their chest to take up less area together. You don't always text each other w

6.

Font - to quirky inside jokes about the life youve built together. You share looks of exasperation and amusement in public, your own little world against the outside one. Relationships aren't always a fairy tale. They're not always fireworks and sparks, at least, after the start. But they are a quiet rhythm and hum of love and care. It's not a fire in your soul, but one in your hearth, keeping you warm and comfortable, comforting you as you drowsily drift into sleep. And I love that.

In typical tumblr fashion, we've got a situation that upends ye olde sci fi tropes with the prospect of a regular person chilling on a ship full of cold, calculating Vulcans. It's reminiscent of this study into human nature featuring a space-worthy weaponized Roomba. Tumblr has its own Star Trek ideas, like these questions Tumblr had about gay Klingons.

1.

Font - idontwant-these A Star Trek idea: A comedy sitcom where instead of a Vulcan on a mostly human ship it is a human on a mostly Vulcan ship

2.

Rectangle - hanasheralhaminail All the Vulcans are fiercely protective of the "fragile, illogical, prone-to-danger, smart, reckless little human'. To make the human feel more accepted (as it is only logical) the Vulcans try to include aspects of terran culture in the ship's day-to-day life, failing spectacularly at it. The human loves them even more for it.

3.

Sports equipment - southerndrawlinmypants IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY. They'll get better at celebrating the human's birthday next year. It's the thought that counts.

4.

Rectangle - sergle #i would honestly tear up if i were on a vulcan ship and they put in the effort to throw me an 'It is your birthday' Party @jvlianbashir THAT'S A GOOD END TO THAT EPISODE THOUGH...

5.

Rectangle - the vulcans put together awful, bland decorations. they make a cake because it's of "significant importance". they go through the process of putting together this party and Studying this Human Ritual and the entire episode is setting up to what you KNOW will be a horrible result. they do a bad job!

6.

Font - then when the human's birthday comes, and they reveal the off-the-mark, underwhelming looking birthday bash, the human just. starts crying. because they had no idea their crew would go through all this trouble to celebrate their birthday, and even put up DECORATIONS, or make a CAKE, and there's a birthday card with extremely polite impersonal messages written and a hundred perfectly tidy signatures. and the vulcans are just standing around like “you appear upset. the Birthday Party was un

7.

Font - and the vulcans are just standing around like "you appear upset. the Birthday Party was unsatisfactory". rumshop I would watch the f k out of that "Humans require regular physical contact to remain healthy. We have a weekly rotation for The Daily Shoulder Pat. Please inform us if this is insufficient contact, either in frequency, magnitude, or duration."

Smelter Spills Liquid Aluminum Everywhere

Ever seen a big bucket of molten metal and wondered what would happen if that thing took a little spill? Thanks to terrifying workplace accidents, we have the answer. Now it's time to wonder what it's like to have to clean up a few hundred gallons of cooling aluminum. Get the mop.

Weird, Bad and Absurd DIY Situations

A whole lot of us have looked at some fixture in our home and thought "man, it wouldn't be too difficult to gussie that thing up a bit. I could borrow Doug's saw and crack that baby open. Maybe throw some extra pipes in there. Yeah, I could have a super toilet." Most of us who have that thought realize very soon after that it's not as easy we might think it is. The rest of us go for it and end up with some low budget DIY engineering solutions.

Ex Sets Ridiculous Ultimatum, Ends Up With Empty Apartment

If this guy hadn't tried to soft-rob his ex, he might just have some dish soap left, but nah, he got big about it and ended up with a totally empty apartment. It's gotta feel good to take literally everything that belongs to you, kind of like a Pharaoh. For some lighter relationship struggles, here are the many frustrating habits of people's spouses. Ultimatums are often a bad idea, like this jerkbag who gave a server an ultimatum and ended up having to pay for 25 beers.

Dude Accidentally Spends $800 on Wine

Like most reasonable people, we're out to find a bargain. Sadly when your brain malfunctions over exchange rates, things can get hairy. It's gotta be hard to take a sip of anything and think "well there goes the cost of a whole pizza." At least for once in your life it's probably good to do something absurd? Here are people's reckless uses of money they don't regret at all. For some worse prospects, here's some of the dumbest financial advice people gotten.

1.

Rectangle - O r/tifu - Posted by u/Cardinal_Spear 2 days ago e15 3 18 13 14 TIFU by getting the exchange rate wrong and spending $800 on a bottle of wine M So I've been living in Japan for almost two years now and have been seeing a girl for about six months. Today being Valentine's Day, I made reservations for a course meal at a hotel restaurant.

2.

Font - Admittedly, it's not my usual style; I'm perfectly happy going to cheap izakayas and that kind of thing, but variety is the spice of life and we both decided it would be nice to dress up a little and have a fancy meal. Two course meals were already going to set me back a pretty penny, but the f k up was when it came time to order drinks. As befits a romantic dinner, we decided on a bottle of wine. I have long since decided not to pretend to be a wine expert and to just ask the servers for

3.

Font - it comes to this kind of thing. Our waiter went for the drink menu, came back with a tablet, and made a few suggestions, all around the ¥16,000 ($160) price range. Of course I tried not to let it show, but I thought that was a bit on the expensive side and swiped to an $80 alternative. I asked him if it's a good wine. "Oh, that's a very good wine, sir." I told him we'd go with that one, and he politely took the order and left. My girlfriend spent the next 10 minutes or so joking about the

4.

Font - The wine was served to us and we both agreed it was really good. She kept going with the joking, though, and it was when she said that she hoped that it was 80,000 yen and not 80,000 dollars that it finally hit me. Somehow, even after living here for as long as I have, my brain misfired and I equated 80,000 yen with $80 when it's actually more like $800.

5.

Font - By that point, we were well into the bottle and there was no going back. Needless to say, that was a shocker, but I did my best to take it in stride and just enjoy it. She was pretty cool about it too, laughing about it but also showing concern about the (for us) outrageous price. I'm fortunate enough to not have to worry about it, and I'm thankful for that, but my bank account definitely took a hit tonight. I had to mentally prepare myself for when the bill arrived.

6.

Font - Anyway, as I told her, we'll just be drinking tap water for the next 10 Valentine's Days. TL;DR - During Valentine's dinner, messed up the yen-dollar exchange rate in my head and ordered a $800 wine at a restaurant instead of an $80 one. Edit: Well this gained traction while I was sleeping. Here's the bottle for those asking, complete with wine dribbles on the tablecloth: https://i.imgur.com/Lx4PGvh.jpg ?

Loud Neighbor Thinks Sound Waves Go Side-To-Side, Pro Revenge Ensues

Just when we thought we'd maybe seen it all, we come across a frighteningly clueless human being who has been operating under the assumption that sound waves only move side-to-side. Either that was some kind of totally awful excuse for inconsiderate behavior, or they really meant that. I almost hope it was just a lame excuse. Either way, the pro revenge that ensued was quick and brutal. For some more juicy revenge drama check out this boss who docked an employee's wages illegally, and went on to pay the price.

1.

Font - r/ProRevenge + Join u/virgilreality · 3h 1 3 1 "Sound Waves Only Go Side-To-Side, Not Up-And-Down Prompted by an AskReddit post about bad neighbors. I had an upstairs apartment just off of greek row in my last year of college.

2.

Font - Day three after moving in, the downstairs neighbor starts blasting their stereo. SERIOUSLY loud, rattling the glasses in the kitchen cabinet. I give them a little time to get it out of their system, but after an hour, I go downstairs and rap on the door. Second knock is a LOT louder so they can hear me, so they turn down the music and answer the door. Sorry for the stereotype (you'll see in a moment), but she's blonde.

3.

Font - "Could you please keep the stereo down to reasonable volumes? It permeates my apartment to the point that I can't even hear my TV..." I said. I kid you not, she replied "You can hear that? I thought sound waves only went side-to-side, not up-and- down..." Me: ...slow blink..."Uh, nope. You were just playing <song_l_recognized>, so l'm pretty sure it's coming into my apartment. Please keep it down." Her: "OK, sorry about that." Later that day: More songs at the same volume.

4.

Font - My revenge: They didn't know that I was a Music major, and a drummer in particular, so I was actually prepared for that evening's serenade. I set the legs on my 18" floor tom so that the bottom was only an inch off the floor, tuned the heads down to make it sound as deep and bass-ish as possible, got my heavy marching sticks, and gave an impressive half-hour long solo rendition of "Sing, Sing, Sing". I proved that sound waves most certainly do "go up and down".. I never had another issue

5. More folks stepped forward to share stories of their nasty neighbors as well.

Font - Kizik • 3h Had a similar problem with a neighbour where I live thinking sound could only go up. I live on the bottom floor, they're directly above me and filed a noise complaint with the landlord about me blasting music and such all day and night. They knew it was me, too, because I was right below them! Except as I showed the landlord when he mentioned it to me, I had literally no method of producing the sound. No TV, no speakers, nothing. It was the people above them, but she never even

6.

Rectangle - cybercifrado • 3h Had a downstairs neighbor blasting music for a couple of hours. I was sick and couldnt really get out to ask them to turn it down. Well, they were on a bluetooth device with a good subwoofer, but poor security. After the third repeat of "Let It Go" - the music stopped and the bluetooth device was no longer visible... G Reply 1 150 ...

7.

Font - IronhideD • 1h I had a kid living in the apartment above me a few years back. He had one of those boom boxes that looked like the front grill of a 50s hot rod, and would blast bassy music any time mom wasn't home. I asked multiple times to turn the music down because we literally couldn't hear the tv. It got to the point where mom was home sometimes and when I pounded on the door, she came running down demanding I turn down the music. I pointed out the music was coming from her apartment.

People's Most Disastrous Wedding Stories

Weddings have an uncanny knack for attracting all kinds of emotional blowups, seem to effortlessly bring out the very worst in people. It's probably directly correlated to the fact that you have various family members being asked to come together, when some of them should be kept as far away as possible from one another. Also, people can become possessed by gnarly cases of aggressive perfectionism. These stories from folks that attended weddings that ended up being cancelled make for quite the emotional rollercoaster. For some more juicy wedding dramas check out the most entitled bridezillas of 2020 over here.

I was excited to spend time with her, but she spent most of the time hanging out with this other friend of hers who she used to have an unrequited crush on in freshman year. I was suspicious, but her fiance was fine wit

Strange and Unique Stuff People Tried Selling Online

Online marketplaces connect everyone in a fascinating world of supply and demand, where sometimes the supply is old benches from fast food places, uniquely shaped Cheetos, and extremely realistic horror-themed baby dolls. There's not a whole lot of demand for all the weird and bad stuff people try to sell online, but at least it's a spectacle.
