I'm in agreement over the T for jacket toss. I guess though if I'm using the same scale as I would be responding to toddler antics:
4) Huffing/Footstomp - Ignore until I can't.
3) Complaining - Communicate to alleviate.
2) Throwing Items in Anger and Display of Aggression - Immediate Reaction and Consequence
1) Cursing at me/my decisions and waving me off - Immediate more severe Reaction and Consequence
If you don't get to the throw your jacket (and you don't), you don't get to curse at me and verbally and demonstratively be dismissive either.
