He Had a Tantrum

30 Oct

So I’m minding my business at the Arena Stage Homecoming Grand Opening Celebration and I hear a guy get loud.  When I turned around I see this guy yelling at his girlfriend (I assume) “I’m not going to argue with you!”  She responded that she isn’t arguing as he hurriedly walked away.  She looked frustrated but continued in the opposite direction.  A good amount of time passed and I had forgotten about the situation.  Then I saw him sitting on the grass around the corner from where he had stormed off.  He was very obviously watching for his girlfriend to come around the corner.  Then he picked up the phone.  Of course, I don’t know who he called but I’m thinking he called her or perhaps someone to come pick him up.

Since it was so obvious that he was waiting for her to come around the corner, why even storm off in the first place?

I’ve been on the receiving end of these kind of tantrums before which was why I took an interest.  I think he was trying to get his way by having a tantrum.  It is really annoying when adults act like children but it must have worked for him before.

    This is funny. I think some supposed adults just never learn to handle their frustration or anger in a mature fashion.

    Some people are like that… They employ these primitive tactics in an attempt to gain control over a situation and then when it doesn’t yield the desired outcome, they don’t have any more tricks up their sleeves and stall out. :D

    I think that parents encourage this behavior by trying to appease it. So people learn that this behavior yields results and continue to do it as adults.

    I’m glad she walked away because the more you try to appease someone having a tantrum the more tantrums they will have.

    This is funny. When my daughter was younger and used to have tantrums I would tell her to scream louder. Finally, she got tired. Hopefully, this guy got tired, too. LOL!
