Storm in a Teacup

thingiverse

"A Tempest in a Teapot" is the phrase that expresses a situation where a big fuss is made over something small and insignificant. The origin of this idiom dates back to the play 'The Taming of the Shrew' by William Shakespeare, where a character uses this metaphor to describe an unnecessary argument. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with actual storms or teacups but rather highlights the human tendency to overreact to trivial matters.
