And, No, I don't go looking for it. The tirade would have to be one that attracts virtually everyone's attention and just cannot be ignored.
It strikes me that we are imagining different levels of outburst. I read the OP to be fairly contained, just included winging her helmet. It seems you are reading something a little more out there.

There is always a line somewhere; in this case, as neither of us actually saw and heard it, we can easily both be right (or even both be wrong!!) in how we would react to what we are thinking happened.

And that's why I mentioned the severity of the outburst as being one that attracts everyone's attention. If it is a minor transgression, I won't react at all.

Also, I was speaking in general and not addressing the OP specifically. I agree that what happened in the OP wouldn't warrant any response.
