Russian term or phrase: Истеричка
Здравствуйте еще раз. Подскажите, пожалуйста, как лучше перевести данное слово. Так активист называет водителя (мужчину), который ведет себя неадекватно в ответ на просьбу не ехать по тротуару. Вот это место в ролике: https://youtu.be/jeANBvqwd2Y?t=6m1s

- Я не знаю, как его назвать еще. Истеричка. Вышел, сумкой махнул и уехал.

Anger issues


Explanation:
If you had watched the vid in question, you'd see that there's no actual "drama queening" going on there; just a fit of explosive temper.

"Like this one—he's, uh, got anger issues or what? That's the only way I can put it. He comes out, strikes at us with his bag, gets back into the car and drives off, lol."
