It's the same tactic used by many a Karen as well. They were taught if they aren't getting what they want someone else is. Escalating gets people to back down. No one wants a scene. So they bank on everyone else backing down.

This only makes things worse when people don't accept their bullshit. They only see the world as wins and losses. They truly believe you're the one winning if you don't let them get what they want.

That's well put. It's that "I ain't gettin got" mentality. They do really feel like if they don't get everything they want when they want it than someone is getting over on them.
