31 of the Dumbest Things That Sent People Flying Off the Handle

Most people may put on a comfy pair of sweats for a workout at their local gym, but one Redditor’s daughter isn’t most people, and threw a fit when her preferred wardrobe was deemed unacceptable. “My toddler had a full meltdown because I said she couldn’t wear the curtains to the YMCA,” they recalled of the pre-workout conflict. 

Despite spending roughly 20 minutes consoling their sobbing child, she finally had another question: “She calmly asked if she could wear the other curtain. There were more tears. Mostly my own.”

While toddlers throwing temper tantrums is incredibly common, the rest of these scenarios involve full-grown adults freaking out over completely ridiculous things, including having to read contracts, dreams of cheating and the cardinal sin of buying socks.

dude_comeon_wut . 1y ago I held the door open for him. Не didn't like that, I guess because I'm a woman and it endangered his manhood. So he threatened to physically assault me over it. I just said Thank you! in a bubbly tone and otherwise pretended he didn't exist. Doing that rubs salt in their wounds - because they want you to be scared, not friendly. 309 ... + 20 more replies

I ended the friendship completely in 2021 after more (and much worse) moments like this. 47 ...
Marawal 1y ago I refuse some piece of cake. At first politely, then she insisted a dozen of time, then, I just said I already said no, I wont' change my mind. She got so mad, that she cried and all. To make it even more ridiculous, her own father had just made a good comment about my progress with my eating disorder. (Since, you know, I actually ate 5 full bites of the main dishes that day. Yeah, it was bad back then). She shouldn't even have offered cake to me, to begin with. Let alone insist. Like it

No-Caterpillar6354 1y ago Once time in my early 20's in the middle of the day I walked past a dive bar with windows. I couldn't see in the windows due to glare or they might have been mirrored, so I was probably looking at my own reflection. A few seconds later a drunk guy around my age came staggering quickly out of the bar and chased after me. Не got in my face and started giving me shit and wanted to fight me, because he thought I had stared in the window at him... 19 ...

When I agreed, she became extremely angry and accused me of being the person that told her to use it. I denied it. I woud never say that because I'm not stupid, but she wouldn't accept that she could be mistaken and stopped talking to me. Another friend over heard the conversation and confirmed to me later that it was another mutual aquaintance that had told
DukeDariot e 1y ago Had a roommate text me furious that I had eaten her pizza rolls without asking because she was going to have them for dinner.

CaptainLawyerDude . 1y ago . Edited 1y ago I have a 7yo. I can't begin to count the blowups about weird things. My favorite was when she busted me about swearing, though. We were fishing and I called a walleye an asshole to which she immediately responded with yeah, asshole! When I told her that was a grown up word she hit me with a pout and this gem: If you guys can say asshole but I can't say asshole than this is all bullshit. I thought I was gonna fall out of the boat I was laughing so hard.
