how do you behave when someone you are with freaks out and you are the only one with them but you aren't really friends but more of co workers and you just happened to be with them at that random moment of outburst...remember you aren't friends just civil...and that person freaks out because of what another person said but she's not freaking out at you(me) she's just freaking out in general.

One of two paths to take:
1) I pretend like someone is calling me or I need to make a phone call... This gives me a reason to turn my back to the person.. Once the back is turned.. I slowly start to walk away.
2) Push the person on so that they freak out even more.... the idea is your already in a annoying predicament... so you might as well have fun with it...

I would not react to the outburst. After she finished her tirade and is a bit calmer, I'd tell her this really doesn't have anything to do with me, that I'm sorry she's upset but that she should talk to the other person involved if it bothers her so much. Then I'd be on my way.

i use to have a friend like that and eventually i stopped doing anything with her in a public place. it was embarressing. she would scream and curse loud and get everyones attention and the sad part is her little daughter would be crying telling her mom to stop it. i say just walk away go about your own thing. for example in a bar go play a game of pool or darts. in a store maybe find a video game go down the book isle and look around and keep the hanging out for work.noing me i would just tell her that she gets out of hand and that i dont like it.keep a friendly distance.

It can be tricky if you're sitting at a restaurant table waiting for lunch to be served, but I agree- try to distance yourself from that person- even if it means excusing yourself and heading towards the restroom. Hopefully by the time you've returned they will have vented completely.

Slowly step away and pretend I don't know them, and then get involved with looking at something that is away from the action. If I have the car keys, and it gets really bad, and I don't really like the guy, I'd leave.
same question deserves the same response.

Well I would try to help that person. even if i really dont know anything about them. you never know what that person is going through even if im really not friends with that person im still going to help them out. one thing i wouldnt do it just walk away and completely ignore the person.

I'd walk away and talk about it later after they've calmed down.

That's when I will have to escort this person forcibly into the men's room and give this person a "reality check".
