Did the TUBE SOCKS nearly kill him? I once nearly killed a man by giving him a cup and pointing out the nice, clean water fountain behind him rather than fetching him a shot-sized cup of water from our skuzzy unwashed sink. He called me a lot of unpleasant names and peeled back his shirt to show me his pacemaker scar, because my delay in fetching his water made him late taking his medication. He continued yelling for upwards of ten minutes until his wife found him and dragged him (and the now-full cup of water) away. I'm assuming she managed to get him to take his medication at some point afterward. This tends to be my metric for tantrums now, which is why most don't even register. (-;
