Adult Temper-tantrums

This topic is one I've wanted to touch on for quite some time... Growing up, supposedly you're supposed to be taught things like communication skills, social skills, and basically all other necessary skills required to live in the real world. However, I find that I encounter more and more individuals who's skill set is far from complete.

Since when is it OK for adults to throw temper-tantrums?
I thinks its safe to say that the "real world" is just high school with more serious issues, like taxes and insurance. However, I thought once you grew out of the taking bath stage of life, temper-tantrums would then follow in suit and cease... Not the case at all. Between colleagues, acquaintances, and various other people, I've seen an increase in "adult temper-tantrums" in the last month. Maybe it's due to a bad economy, bad relationships, who knows... but seriously... it's a bit ridiculous...

I want to ask these individuals.. who the hell told you it was OK to act like this? I mean really... since when is it OK for a grown ass adult to throw a fit over petty shit...and it's not just females.. it's guys too.. the minute you don't get your way, temper-tantrums. And they come in many forms- Most common, is the "blow up and act like everythings ok afterwards format" (demonstrations coming soon) Then there's the "Inaudible Screaming", "Ignore Til' It Goes Away", "Deprivation of Sex", and my favorite the "Fuck It, I'm Done"

If you're guilty of throwing any of these temper-tantrums... reconsider your life skills.. you may need to take Life 101 another time!
