My gf. She ran out of storage on her iPhone 6 so she deleted some apps and then when she went to re-download them she had to update her phone but she didn't want to update it cause she thought the update would break her phone and she had a sever meltdown.

Some dude in a Jetta came right up my ass yesterday. Tried to pass me dangerously with no signal, so I floored the Jeep and left him at the last set of lights. As I drove away I yelled something about how he couldn't even shake a four cylinder Jeep. Could see him and his girlfriend throwing a tantrum at the lights as I drove away.

is it because your salary was cut in half?

This actually happened a couple years ago. Some guy was riding my ass (I was going the speed limit). He was so buttflustered by me going the legal speed that he followed me where I was going.

I got out andhe started saying shit to me from his car. If I had been smart, I would have ignored him and gone into the business (you have to be buzzed in, so he couldn't have followed me)

So, I walked right up to his car and we started insulting each other. This guy looked like Screech from Saved by the Bell. Things got pretty awkward, then super aggressive. I can't remember what I said (I may have called him a pussy or something antagonistic like that), but he just went nuts. Screaming and calling me all kinds of stuff I can't even repeat here.

So, I just had this epiphany. I'd stopped being angry and I suddenly thought it was funny. The harder I laughed at him, the angrier he got. He kept talking about how I was holding him up from going to work, so I pointed out the fact that he seemed to have five minutes to fight with me. Eventually I got fed up and told him that unless he wanted to show up to work with a black eye, he'd better go.

He screamed some more and then he read off my license plate number, like he was going to do something. That guy really is lucky that he got me and not some psychopath.

When I broke my ankle and everything that's been happening to me around that time just kinda coalesced and then collapsed on me in that moment. Luckily my sister was there to snap me out of it but it was pretty bad.
---

I was surprised that I didn't see one in the DMV.
---

Didn't see it but heard it in a conference call.

Me and a couple co workers had a fight about a birthday picture. One woman whos the self appointed team organizer for shit like this, demanded everyone get in the picture and another woman who i think has aspergers refused. I sided with aspergers lady and said fuck that im not doing it either.

Organizer lady went off the deep end and bitched about ruining the moment for everyone. Thankfully i dont have to go to office unless i want to, which is rarely....

At the mechanics. I was in the lobby waiting for them to finish the inspection on my car and some dude began yelling at one of the salesmen about... something (couldn't make it out), and stormed out of the place, slamming the door behind him.
---

At work I saw some guy get angry because his definition of socialism differed from the definition that the person he was arguing with knew. He left early that day because of how angry he was. People stake their pride on stupid shit.

At work a during the early summer. One guy(A) was moving goods from the fridge to the elevator and according to him the guy in charge of putting the perishables away(B) in the fridge and freezer knocked over a bottle and the contents spilled. Well they began shouting at each other and we all heard it upstairs. Luckily this happened before we opened.

A couple days later (A) was yelling at another employee because she apparently took bread meant for one location. It was a pretty stupid argument and it happened during business hours so the customers could hear everything. I blame that on the heat. It happened during that week long heat wave.

Guy (A) sounds really unpleasant to work with.
---

Customer at work.

Really bizarre experience.

These happen every day while I'm at work because I work in retail. Part of the problem is when a parent takes their kid with them when it is 2 in the morning.
---

My 3 year old threw a fit because I wouldn't let her throw a picture in the garbage.

Something like that, yeah.

He is actually a cool dude. He just had some bad days. But he is no longer working here.

I was in Miami last week dropping my son off at college. We ran to Walmart to get some quick school supplies and some lady was beating on the hood of a car in the crosswalk screaming what the fuck is your problem, what the fuck is your problem, what the fuck is your problem. I thought it had something to do with not yielding in a pedestrian crosswalk then she jumps in the passenger seat and the car pulls away. There must've been 50 people outside the store and nobody even reacted.

Homeless guys screaming at the world.

I saw some 40 year old man crying at SDCC cause they sold out of some Star Wars toy he wanted.

I also saw a guy who was on this huge line camping out for something shitting into a bag because he didn't want to get off the line. That's it own version of a meltdown

Funny this topic pops up.

Tuesday morning at 4:30 I was biking and ran into this girl in the middle of a meltdown. The entire like 30 minutes I was trying to help her she was in a full on bawling breakdown. Apparently her mom was sleeping with her bf and she was trying to find the house. I guided her for blocks while she sniffled and talked wild. Even talking about taking her own life. I think she was being dramatic even in her state. I just don't trust or accept that people want to die so carelessly. I kind of wish I went to the house with her but my senses told me to not go further than the block the house was on.....I was just trying to play Pokemon Go downtown while there was no traffic >_>

This.
I work for a rehab company.

This 19 y/o pill seeker was screaming at 3 in the morning and throwing furniture because she wanted meds.
She was cray.

When I hear "meltdown", I expect in actual mental meltdown with like, completely losing your shit, yelling and screaming, anger, confusion, etc.

But nowadays, all you need is to just be really confused or irritated by something and kids nowadays classify that as a "meltdown".

Yeah it was insane. I've gone many times, so I've seen all sorts of shit like that. I can get being bummed about not getting that thing you want, especially after waiting on those lines for hours and hours. But literal tears from an adult? INSANE. No doubt the guy spent thousands of dollars on the trip between travel, rooming, food etc and the guy's trip was clearly ruined cause he didn't get a friggen toy. LOL
