[*]There were storms in the Washington, DC area
[*]The captain was arguing with ramp agents and gate agents to get the aircraft fueled, even though the ramp was closed

[*]this is standard practice during thunderstorms for the safety of ground staff
[*]During the taxi out, he was “barking orders” at the first officer
[*]At one point, the captain said, “Start #2. Get us EDCT. Get us the reroute.”
[*]The first officer asked him to slow down and prioritize what he wanted done first
[*]The captain responded, “Just frigging do it.”
[*]It was the first officer who then said “we are done here” and opted to return to the gate
[*]But at the gate, it was the captain who told passengers that he could not get along with the first officer and stormed off
