functionally insane

A completely unreasonable person who constantly reacts with anger or any other extreme emotion when they do not get their way often over simple things "normal" individuals take in stride, but not insane enough to be placed in a home (due to frequency of occurences) but still causes enough misery and grief for themselves and others around them.

Guy 1: You're a dumbass dude

Guy 2: Why?
