I remember at a family gathering, an adult relative got into an argument over a game. He got so angry that he picked up the game board and threw it across the room. Then he stormed out, slamming the door behind him. It was a really awkward situation for everyone left in the room. We all just sat there in shock for a while before trying to continue as normal.
I once saw a man in a restaurant who didn't get the table he wanted. He started yelling at the hostess, stomping his feet like a child. His face turned bright red and he was waving his arms around. It was so embarrassing.
A colleague of mine had a meltdown during a meeting. He didn't like the new project plan and started shouting, slamming his fists on the table, and storming out of the room. It disrupted the whole meeting and made everyone feel uncomfortable. He later apologized, but the damage was done.
Stay calm. If you react to their tantrum with anger or frustration, it will only make things worse. Just let them vent for a bit without interrupting.
There was a story in the news about an adult who lost a bet. Instead of taking it gracefully, he threw a tantrum at the bar where they made the bet. He started breaking glasses and scaring other customers. The bar had to call the police to deal with him. It was a really extreme reaction just because he lost a bet.
I knew a man who got really angry during a meeting at work because his idea wasn't immediately accepted. He banged his fist on the table, stood up abruptly and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. It was quite embarrassing for everyone there.
At a business meeting, one of the executives didn't get his way in a decision - making process. He started pouting like a toddler. He crossed his arms, sulked in his chair, and then began to raise his voice in an unprofessional way. He complained that no one was listening to him, when in fact everyone had considered his opinion but just didn't agree with it. His tantrum made the whole meeting very uncomfortable and unproductive.
Sure. One time at a supermarket, a little kid wanted a big lollipop. When his mom said no, he started stomping his feet and shouting, 'But I want it!' Then he threw himself on the floor and rolled around while people stared. It was hilarious.

One kid tantrum story is about a little boy at a grocery store. He wanted a big bag of candies but his mom said no. So he started screaming at the top of his lungs, kicking his legs and rolling on the floor. People around were staring but the mom just calmly waited for him to calm down.
