1. Never mind--I just realized the link is to an article that explains her rant, not just to YouTube.

The woman in the shot started demanding that the man and his girlfriend leave the restaurant where this was happening, and called the girlfriend a prostitute.

I'm not going to look for it but I feel sorry for the woman. She wasn't just out of control, she was out there. If she ever comes back to earth and sees that recording it's not going to help. Can you even imagine?

delusions.

No, I am not being snarky. She is genuinely mentally ill and needs care. She believes Justin Bieber is, as she phrases it, her "husband and boyfriend and fiance" (!) and that she has been dating him for two years.

IOW, she is not just a mean, mouthy person--she is genuinely ill and delusional.

9. I guess that's not hugely surprising.

Although it could be substance abuse- I know some alcoholics who are at least as batty sounding when they're on a good bender.

I'd say probably half the "florida man/woman" stories are probably mental illness or substance abuse, as well. When the guy takes too much acid and decides a BMW is a balrog, we all laugh.

But, yeah... I hear you. I'll S/D the thread with a copy of the OP, below for recordkeeping sake. Since people know who she is and she has some sort of running mental problem, the piling on isn't necessarily fair.

RESTAURANT FREAKOUT IN SANTA MONICA


..because why should Florida get all the fun?

https://boingboing.net/2017/04/03/restaurant-freakout-in-santa-m.html

From article:

Last night my girlfriend of four years and I were waiting patiently for a lady to order her food at this restaurant in Santa Monica, and I had my arms around her from behind and maybe kissed her on the top of the head once or twice, but that was the extent of it.

Out of nowhere, the lady (who was finalizing her transaction) looks at us and exclaims emphatically how inappropriate PDA was and how uncomfortable it was making her. I thought she was joking because of how little we were actually making contact. I turned and kissed my girlfriend on the cheek and made a loud smack, and that’s where she really lost it. I immediately knew I had to get this on camera, so that’s about where the video picks up.


...this person seems oddly familiar. I wonder if I've encountered her myself, somewhere.
