2012, Year of the Meltdown?
So we've had years past of celebrity meltdowns, perhaps its now time for normally private personalities having spectacular public meltdowns?
Besides Paul Christoforo, an NYU student recently lost her shit and swan dived off the proverbial deep end, over a seemingly innocuous and simple assignment in her SCA class. The assignment was to do an ethnography report on the Occupy Wall Street movement, a group she seems to have such a deep-seated fear and hatred for she objected to doing the assignment from the get-go. Although an alternate assignment was offered in which she interviewed NYPD involved with the protest due to her complaints about her safety, she failed to complete that and eventually went down to the protest, where she claimed she was almost raped and was jeered at constantly.
Then she decided to Up the ante by sending a complaint to the Dean of SCA, then finally to the President of NYU. They dismissed her claims naturally, and urged her to do the alternate assignment if she felt so threatened, but then poor dear Sarah, long suffering from such liberals, lost her shit and published an open email calling for the professor's immediate termination or resignment. Here is that email, as its too long to post the text here. Suffice it to say, her rambling style, poor grammar, and worse formatting is more suited to a preteen rather than a senior at a prestigious college.
She's been told to stop sending these letters, and has apparently been suspended from school, so she's taken to posting tirades on Facebook, where she claims to have thousands of loyal followers, but I'm willing to bet those people are just the crowd that gathers at any train wreck.

So it's far easier for stories like this to find their way to a tiny blog, and then someone on Reddit or whatever spots it and tosses a quick link up and it snowballs. So I'd bet we'll hear more about people being awful and getting publicly shamed for it.
Oh, girl, you are a shame to your (and my) alma mater.
The whole thing happened about four feet from my desk, so that was awkward.
She in some ways has been a good friend for nearly a decade now, but in honestly is pretty incompetent with technology. She also is burned out after doing her job 20 years and is getting very sloppy.
I've been secretly hoping that her tantrum would get her fired, because I want her job... or more accurately, I want her paycheck. So far, the whole thing seems to have blown over, though she was mysteriously "ill" today -- meaning that I had to take everything off her desk for the day.
I don't blame Jason for feeling that way. I'm in a similar boat at my work.
There is also the small point that she makes twice my salary while effectively dumping most of her responsibilities in my lap.
Not to mention that the work she does is so poor that I end up redoing a solid portion of it.
She is threatening to use harsh language if her demands are not met.

I won't even go into the insanity of Kevin Nash wanting to have an MMA fight with the Ultimate Warrior. When the Warrior realizes you're nuts, it's time to pack it in.
