Funny Stuff Maybe ? Apple customer melt down . . . .

Failing athletes, unsuspecting news anchors, disgraced politicians -- all seem to be susceptible to highly publicized meltdowns. But thanks to the ease of mobile video recording, regular joes can now share the spotlight with public figures.

Or at least these two women can.

First up is a woman who walks in to the Apple Store at the Grove, in Los Angeles. You might think the lady flipping out on camera is a celebrity and the person filming isn't a public figure. It's the opposite; actress Porscha Coleman caught this person screaming at the top of her lungs because ... I mean, unless this Apple Store employee harmed her or a loved one, does it matter?

Coleman is clearly on Team Apple for this particular situation, saying the woman, in the description of her Vine post, should "cool it." According to the actress, the lady did not have an appointment with the store. Of course, AppleCare told her she could walk into the store and get what she needed ... but if you're like me, you've watched this 30 times in a row, so you already knew that.

The part that gets me every time is the end. She concentrates so much on yelling at this poor employee that she completely loses her train of thought.

Our second video for today is nonstop action for nearly four minutes, and the first two minutes and fifty seconds are NSFW, thanks to explicit language. This video was recorded without the subject's knowledge, but James and Whitney Mongiat were not in a public place; they were driving. They definitely weren't headed for the lake house, nor were they stopping for cigarettes. Whitney throws a fit because Jim won't do either and handles other errands instead, such as rotating his tires.

James says in the video's description that he never promised a trip to the lake, as he was burned out from working a 60-hour week and had a lot of other tasks to accomplish that day. He has since obtained a restraining order and filed for divorce. He notes that he knew the marriage was over when Whitney defriended him on Facebook. It's probably for the better; at least now he won't have to see the horrible things she's saying about him on his news feed.

Welcome to the generation where everyone was brought up as "special".

That woman should have been escorted out of the store, right then and there.

That little kid in the car needs to grow up.

I've seen something similar at the Apple store.

iMac's HD was busted so I make an appointment for the Apple store online. Most timeslots during busy hours were taken so had to wait a few days for an open time slot. I get there at the allotted time and still had to wait an extra half hour past the time slot.

I'm sitting there waiting and this irate young woman in her early 20s comes in. Place is packed. She walks up to an Apple employee and starts complaining loudly her new iPhone isn't working. She has no appointment. Next time slot is in a few hours. She can't wait. She can't come back. She's very busy. She spent alot of money on this phone and now it's not working. Keeps repeating her sob story over and over again. Louder and almost to the point of hysterics. While everyone in the store is waiting and glancing at her. She's almost to the point of tears. She demands for a manager.

While the employee goes to the back to get someone. She goes quiet, calmly takes out a blackberry and starts typing away like nothing is wrong. Zoned out. Then when the manager appears she turns on the crocodile tears again like a faucet. The manager tells her he will help her and brings her to the counter.

At that point my name is called and I go to the counter, so i don't know how her situation was resolved. But WTF?!! She just cut in front of all the people waiting with iPhone problems and has a manager helping her on the spot while everyone else made appointments days ago for the busy time slot and were patiently waiting their turn.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Have seen this myself a few times. Unfair, but it happens regularly.
