Mad as a hatter means crazy behavior. It came from the 17th century Robert Crab, who is an eccentric who lived in Chesham, and gave away all his worldly gods to the poor and on dock leaves and grass. However, the most famous seen it is used in is in Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland. This word is usually used when the person is not satisfied by something and gets mad at the crazy behavior.
