pasados de la raya

Explanation:
Me parece que 'pasados de la raya' refuerza un poco la idea de que se están violando límites.

Idiom: go off at the deep end (go off the deep end)

colloq
To lose one's temper suddenly and violently.
Thesaurus: go to extremes, go too far, lose one's good sense; rant, exaggerate, rage.

Definition:
To go too far with something; to do something crazy.

Etymology:
The deep water, which is at the 'deep end' of a pool, is dangerous. You can get lost in the deep end. This phrase refers to that danger, but in an emotional rather than physical sense.
