What is Kick-the-dog Syndrome?


1.

The act of mistreating a peer or someone inferior to you out of frustration because a superior (whom you can't argue with) has treated you poorly.

Apparently he came home and just started yelling. It's kick-the-dog syndrome: his boss is an asshole and he takes it out on her.
