What's the situation?
Ever seen an adult act exactly like a toddler who didn't get their candy? 🍬 That's when someone is 'throwing a tantrum'! It's often used humorously or disapprovingly to describe an overly dramatic or immature display of anger or frustration. It is common when people are upset about something minor, but react disproportionately. 🙄
