First Public Meltdown...
was at Target over a body pillow the lady would not return.
She told me it looked used -- the tags were still on it, I had never even taken it out of my car. I swear on my marriage it didn't look any different then when I bought it. I could feel the anger bubbling and it just spilled over.
After inspecting it for like 3 minutes (she even smelled it), she asked me rudely if I used it...and snarky, sarcastic me told her I slobbered all over it and might've peed on it too by accident. She fought with me about it for over 5 minutes. When I got to the point where I seriously thought I was going to take the pillow and beat her with it, I told her I didn't want it and walked away. All this over an $8 pillow 
I seriously don't ever act like this. I feel kinda bad -- but on the flip side WTF smells a freaking pillow? It was really weird.

Re: First Public Meltdown...
Target has a TERRIBLE return policy. Pretty much they don't have to take anything back. I tried taking back a wedding gift that still had the Target price tag on it, but I didn't have a receipt and they told me it wasn't their item. I went and found the exact same thing on the shelf to prove they sold it and they said I must have taken a legit tag off of one of their items and put it on the item I was returning. Seriously!? I love Target, but they make returns and exchanges miserable.
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I don't think you went overboard, I mean, she sniffed the effing pillow.
First of all, I would love to meet the person who actually WOULD return a used body pillow... And second, what kind of nasty, stingy person would sniff one that someone is trying to return? I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Love your responses! Sounds like you did better than I would have though.
My first meltdown was on Saturday night. It was 105 degrees, I was uncomfortably bloated, and I was hungry but couldn't stand the thought of eating ANYTHING. DH wanted to go to the movies and suddenly the thought of a cherry ICEE and pretzel bites with cheese at the theater sounded like the most delicious thing ever. We get there and register boy asks if he can get me nachos instead because they are out of pretzel bites it will be 15 more min for the next batch (movie was starting in about 3 min and DH was already sitting down). *Trying* to hold back tears, I tell him "NO! Nachos are not pretzel bites!" Well, I waited the whole15 min, got my bites, and stormed off. Poor register boy, I think I scarred him and it wasn't his fault my hormones and appetite are going crazy!
I think I would have had a meltdown even if I wasn?t pregnant over that! How awful!
Ha...well the funny part is, when I left after checking out, I saw the pillow in the same place on the counter untouched. Now I'm wondering if she is questioning whether there is pee on the pillow that she just stuck her nose all over! I'm going to hell, seriously.
It reminds me of dumb and dumber when the cop drinks that bottle of urine thinking it's beer...blah!!! I think meltdown are okay in pregnancy, my friend flipped out at a McDonald's one morning because they ran out of Mcgriddles!
