I really feel for the guy in line. What do you do when someone behaves like this? Your instinct is to throw whatever you have in your hand.
It wasn't the greatest reaction ever but someone had to do something.

It might be fake. Its very convienient that someones filming her...
I guess chivalry really is dead . . . people like her killed it.
Dunno, seems fake but this isn't the first time someone has freaked out a fast food place.

Even more convenient that it winds up on Youtube of all places. Youtube seems
to have gone from a place of truly interesting material to nothing but a haven for shameless self promotion.
The video's probably fake, but the phenomenon is real. All too real and heaped on kids just starting out in the world of jobs all too often.
As for YouTube, yes it is a haven for self-promotion. Sure, there's lots of great stuff on it that's created by people of all ages, but a life goal that's becoming more and more common is to be "famous." Not famous for actually having done something worthy of recognition, but simply "famous." Internet celebrities are the pinnacle of that: make one video where you do something embarassing or simply stupid and you could get your 15 minutes rather quickly.
why are you guys convinced this particular vid is fake? in what way?

Well, as was said earlier, the video came from Youtube, and what I had once said earlier, is also harmonized in Gravekeeper's follow-up that Youtube is "self-promotion Heaven". Anyone can do somethng stupid and be a star at Youtube. That's a given.
Also, the story didn't make the headlines, unlike the woman at the McDonald's window (though that's a lesser factor but still a possible.) But if it IS real, it's one of yet another laundry list of behavior that will most likely get glorified by those who didn't get
their pizza on time either.. ridiculous.
Looks authentic to me. I get to deal with rediculous and unreasonable people all of the time. One of the nice things about entering the working world as a teenager is that you learn that adults are just older versions of the idiots you go to school with. The public is a big blob of ignorant sh*theads.

Becuase the filming started before she hit off.

I'm not sure either way but I'm a bit leary after the kid who did the "greatest freakout" admitted it was all staged. People will do anything to get on Youtube as a viral video champion.

Actually, his crazy brother made him make a fake video, so people will think that the others are fake too.
So, all of those are original except for...number 6? 7? I'm not sure....

As one whose been out of high school for 28 years, I'll agree with you on this one. The working world is just a continuation of high school. You have your good people, your idiots, the bullies, and the ones who don't care who they step over, (or go through) to further their own ends.
Not to mention that most people on the job today wouldn't lift a finger to defend their co-workers if it meant they'd have to put their own neck out on the line to do it. Why should they when they might be in line for our job? Self centeredness is at an all-time high today.

People are stupid. I just don't want to believe its real because of how dumb it is.
