What do you get when you combine one really pissed off Apple Store customer and a celebrity with a smartphone? Well, that's a recipe for a viral video.

Actress Porscha Coleman, best known for a guest starring role on the UPN series The Parkers, recently witnessed a woman having an epic meltdown at a Los Angeles Apple Store, and did what any other slightly amused person would do – capture it on video, and share it online for the world to enjoy. As you can tell from the video, the unidentified woman appears to be quite agitated over having to wait for something. One question – has she ever been to an Apple Store before?

"I was told by Apple Care that I could walk in the store and get the part," she screams in a high-pitched voice while banging a stroller with her hand, causing nearly everyone in the store to turn and look. The Apple Store employee just nods her head and remains calm throughout the altercation.  

Coleman brilliantly captured the moment with her smartphone and uploaded it to Vine.

"This lady is goin OFF in the Apple Store!! Lol U dont have an appointment, lady! #coolit #chillpill #takesomemeds," the caption reads. The 6-second clip has predictably gone viral.

Let's just hope the woman was having a really bad day and doesn't act like this all the time. Though we don't know her identity, it's fairly safe to say she won't be among the other Apple fans waiting in line for a week to get the next iPhone.

Besides providing a few laughs, the video offers a good reminder that the prying eyes of smartphone cameras are always watching, so you better stay on your best behavior when out in public. If not, you could become the butt of the Internet's next joke.

One more thing – Apple, if you're reading this, give that employee a raise.

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. 

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes. 

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app. 

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth. 

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light. 

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
