Named after the Muppet character Beaker, a Beaker Moment is a series of actions that a normally level headed
individual will exhibit when reaching a heightened
level of
stress or agitation without being able to constructively control the outburst or by failing to seek assistance in dealing with an increasingly convoluted situation.
The end result can encompass adverse, out-of-character, uncontrolled outburst in the form of incoherent mutterings and sounds, accompanied by aggressive, multi-directional emails that incite and spin up other parties often spurring on inquisitive looks and
head scratchings.
Ultimately a very uncharacteristic outburst of outright frustration, paranoia, and severe agitation.
