Sprinkles are a bad ice cream topping that certainly aren’t worth throwing a tantrum over. Alas, this is a lesson learned too late by the woman who was nearly arrested on Saturday in a Michigan ice cream parlor.

According to Mason County, Michigan, sheriff Kim Cole, a woman and a man walked into an ice cream store Saturday evening and ordered two ice creams. Upon receiving her order, the woman began screaming at the clerk over a perceived sprinkles slight. The tantrum was so intense that the terrified employee called 911.

“The clerk called police because the customer was upset because she didn’t have enough sprinkles,” Cole told the Muskegon Chronicle.

When the woman’s friend attempted calm her down, she allegedly tried to punch him. Both fled the store before police arrived. The clerk has decided not to press charges.
