I have two roommates and one of them has a problem with controlling his temper. I'll call my roommates Person A and Person B. I don't want to use their real names. Recently, Person A was missing something. He asked me if I saw it or took it and I told him that I did not see it or take it. Then, Person A asked Person B, "Why did you take it?" Person B said to Person A, "I did not take it. I would never take your stuff. I take only what belongs to me. I did not take what belongs to you. I have some things that look like your things, but I did not take your things." Then, Person A loses his temper. Person A did not like Person B's tone of his voice. Person A and Person B continued to talk about the missing item. Person A claimed that Person B was making funny faces at him so he raised his voice again and yelled at him. Person A continued to yell at Person B for several minutes. Person A claimed that Person B's tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions were disrespectful and rude. IMHO I didn't think so. I told Person A to calm down and that he was getting out of control. I offered to find his missing stuff for him. Eventually, he calmed down.
Person A frequently loses his temper and this is just one example. How would you deal with Person A?
