Yeah, That Made It So Much Better!

I sense a little girl who found out early on that if she threw a big enough tantrum, she got her own way, and can't believe that it didn't work this time.

Isn't that the basic backstory of EVERY sucky customer?

There is a certain kind of person who seems to believe that if they just make things bad enough, they'll create a badness singularity that collapses space-time in on itself and spits them out on the opposite side where everything is good....

You know, right, that she's going to try to blame her broken phone either directly on you, the cashier, or the department you work for? After all, it wouldn't have gotten broken if YOU hadn't made her so mad that she just couldn't control herself. It's not her fault, oh no! Everyone hates her and is just trying to take advantage of her...

Fined the max buy a jury...OUCH. Did she act that way in court as well?

Poor impulse control. I'm thinking not only is that how she behaved in court, it was that sort of behavior that landed her in court in the first place.

A jury trial for a traffic case? That alone is noteworthy. I'd love to know more about this.

It seems that life is not only more difficult for the stupid...but expensive as well

So

So her answer to getting a bill she does not want to pay is to create still another expensive bill that she will have to pay.

Boy, that is an expensive way to live life.

Lucky for her, the new iPhones were just announced.

Unlucky for her, she probably can't afford one thanks to all those fines. Any chance this little tantrum can result in a contempt citation?

A woman came in to pay her fines. She owed for some traffic violations for which a jury had fined her the maximum plus the court costs, etc. Not a small amount!
She was angry (understandable) but was huffy/belligerent to the poor cashier who had been serving her. She had trouble accepting the total figure the cashier gave her and demanded to see an itemized statement. The cashier provided it. She then began to challenge every listing and amount.
I was called over to explain everything. (Joy!) After repeating the explanation for a fourth time and even showing her the verdict with the fines, and a run down of the costs, she still insisted the figures were wrong and that she was not going to pay that much.
I finally told her that I had explained everything to her, there was no error in the total, and she either needed to pay or make arrangements to do so.
Her response? She cursed and threw something. Her iPhone 7. It hit the floor. Hard. The screen cracked. The body dented/bent. It stopped working.
She saw what she had done and went hysterical. I just stared. So did everyone else around us.
She picked it up, howled and ran out.
She still is going to have to pay those fines.
