0:00.0 | What was the most embarrassing public tantrum you've seen a grown adult throw? |
0:05.0 | My first job in high school, working at an ice cream parlour. |
0:08.0 | We had three sizes, two scoops, one scoop, and child size. |
0:12.0 | Why it wasn't just large, medium and small? Don't ask me. |
0:16.0 | One day, a guy that had to be well into his 80s, slowly walks in. |
0:20.0 | It was an early afternoon before the typical |
0:22.0 | rush at night, so he was able to walk right up to the counter and stare at our board of flavors, |
0:27.1 | toppings, etc. You can see on his face he's getting irate for some reason. He's pacing quicker. Here |
0:33.0 | and there you can see his mouth open to talk, but he doesn't. And then finally, he speaks. I want your smallest |
0:39.3 | ice cream, but it's absolutely demeaning that I have to order a child size. I'm a grown man. |

1:12.6 | ice cream, but no, anything beneath an institutional change wasn't going to stop this guy. |
1:18.1 | He just kept going. Now other customers are starting to walk in and just watch him rent, |
1:22.6 | screaming, do I look like a child? And things like, I have grandchildren older than you. |
1:29.0 | Meanwhile, he's refusing to order something else, or just consider the smallest size as small |
1:33.6 | rather than child size, which was written on the board and won't leave either. |
1:38.0 | The owner now comes in from the back to see what's going on because there's now a long line. |
1:42.1 | This has been going on a good 10 minutes. |
