Unless she was having these outbursts on a routine basis I doubt it had anything to do with your father passing.
I think anyone could possibly have a meltdown over something just because ... well it happens a lot.
Years ago I needed to run in my local grocery store for a literal handful of items, I actually like to shop this way , if I can’t carry it I don’t need it mentality for a quick few items I need , stops impulse buying ...
Well I go grab a bag of rice, and a couple boxes of pasta and I don’t know what else, but that damn rice kept falling out of my hands so after dropping it for the 6th or 103rd time I literally threw all the crap on the floor in the middle of the aisle and promptly ranted about that gawd damn rice falling.
I’m sure lots of people looked at me like I was nuts! I kicked the boxes out of my way probably a couple times, end result was a meltdown, I finally caught my breath and looked at the dented boxes and that ridiculous bag of rice , picked them up and went to the check out.
Maybe I was more exhausted or stressed that day? Maybe my boss was a freaking Jerk, could have been the traffic. Or it simply could have been the straw that broke that damn camels back that day.
I have only had something similar happen one other time. It involved me trying on sports bras and couldn’t get the damn thing back off as in no freaking way, I struggled and jumped and hopped and cursed, the poor dressing room attendant had to listen to it, I finally gave up , opened the door and asked her to please cut the tags off so I could pay for it and I’d just cut it off me after I got home. Which is exactly what I did lol
Maybe your mom was tired and hungry and literally she just wanted to sit the hell down and eat the fries before they got cold. We all know how much they suck if they are cold lol
I’m sorry you were embarrassed, I’m sure if someone had been with me that day they would have felt that way because of my actions.
I think it was nice of that gentlemen to hurry and offer his table. Chivalry isn’t dead!!!
