Temper tantrums are a normal part of child development — kids, especially toddlers, struggle to control and express their emotions.
As we learn to navigate our feelings and verbalize our needs better, most of us grow out of having these outbursts. Most. But not all.
So when Reddit user Caio-Bulba-Brazil made a post on the platform, asking its users, "What was the worst 'adult tantrum' that you guys witnessed?" they still received a chunk of wild replies. Continue scrolling to check out the ways people find to embarrass themselves.

My ex boyfriend flipped over the board when he lost a game of Trouble against me. He then proceeded to knock over his chair and stomp to the room, then slammed the door. Over a children's game. I was so confused.

A guy I dated went on a tirade because I called him a "musician." He literally made music as his career. He started ranting about how he was a prodigy (sure buddy), and insulted a bunch of my friends. Then he broke up with me, laughed in my face, and fell asleep in my bed. He woke up the next day and acted like everything was just dandy. Honestly the worst person I have ever dated, -1000/10 experience lmao

They threatened to get a gun out of their car and shoot up the place.
I was working customer service when an old man and his wife wanted to speak to Geek Squad about his iPhone. When I advised they were all busy with appointments so he’d have to schedule an appointment and come back or call Apple tech support he flipped. He screamed at me about not helping when he requested it and said he was going to get his gun, come back in, shoot me first, and then shoot up the place. His wife froze.
When I told my managers they didn’t take me seriously at first because, “he’s just an old man.” Finally they escorted him out and watched him sit in his car for about 20 minutes before driving away.

I was working customer service at Walmart during a snowstorm. We were short staffed so I was covering the switchboard. The father of two of my coworkers called and absolutely lost it on me because his ADULT sons chose to go to work and kept saying I had no business keeping them there. I kept trying to tell him I would put him through to a manager but he didn't stop yelling long enough to hear me.

Maybe not the worst i’ve experienced but its the only one I can think of at the moment:
I was over at a guys house and they got a new phone delivered, they opened it and it was like a salmon pink colour. He freaked out and started pacing up and down the room saying that everyones gonna think he’s gay now and how he doesn’t want his co workers to think that he’s gay.
I told him to just get a black phone case and he said those were gay too.

I once saw a grown a*s man yell at an employee because the store no longer sold ice cream and he wanted ice cream.
RIP FAO
