Some folks might say "suck it up" or "they pay admission to yell like that" and your mileage may vary following that advice. I wouldn't tell anyone else what to do but, for me, I'd had enough of that kind of abuse.
That's awful that you had to deal with that. I can see why you hung it up and don't blame you. I might as well if I were in that situation. I would like to get home to my family at night. I don't need confrontations in the parking lot that could lead to God knows what.

Terrible people and terrible administration to allow that.
