Is it normal people act like children when they get rejected?
The store I work in is moving the employee break room to the back of the store. They're taking apart the current break room and employee bathrooms for new ones. The bathroom fixtures were uninstalled and in the hall.
But anyway, two of my coworkers and I are talking while we're working and one asks me if I want to go on a date. I calmly rejected her. She seemed okay at first and was walking away calmly but then proceeded to pick up the toilet in her path and hurl the thing in my direction when I had my back turned. She misses. She starts screaming some nonsense about how 33 is too old for her anyway and she sits on the floor and starts crying .
My other coworker called security on the walkie and then he told her that she's probably fired. He seemed very amused by all this and very hyper with a huge grin on his face.
When the managers approached her she bolted for the emergency exit, which set off the alarm.
I don't understand why a person can't just take the word NO gracefully these days. Someone once told me it was because today's youth are spoiled and lacked discipline from their parents, but I'm not sure that's the reason.
So why do people act like children when they're rejected?
On another note, I'm slightly disappointed that toilet didn't hit me. I could've gotten a nice chunk of change to move to Florida.
