Yes, I was in a program for self growth and there was a patient there, an adult male, who came into the activity room with an attitude. He was upset that no one told him it was free time. Free time was the only time we were allowed to use our phones and we only had 30 minutes 2 times a day. He decided to take out his frustrations on an employee there. All you can hear is this guy going berserk, swearing and throwing pencils because he only has about 12 minutes left to use his phone. Another patient, an adult female, stepped in and started yelling at the man telling him he needs to calm down and that he’s acting like a complete animal. He starts swearing at her calling her a b***h and to mind her business, throwing massive F bombs. It was at that point where I felt unsafe, scared, and angry. I spoke up and said, “does it make you feel good to talk to people the way you are? You’re acting out because you now have 10 minutes to use your phone.You do know the more you act out, the lesser time you’ll have right?.” He turned to me and said. “Mind your F-ing business kid!” At that moment, I stood up and shouted “Maybe you should work on other things besides acting like a KID over what you now have for phone time!” I was so upset after that I put my own phone away and left the room.
