i always heard the ' mean streak ' term mean a person is so mean he or she would kick as dog when it down. someone had a mean streak, is usually always angry at someone. the person will knock people or hit them for no reason. he or she is probably angry at society, probably predjuice to everyone. simply, a person who a big chip on his or her shoulder that take out his or her angry on everyone near him or knows.

I think the term mean streak means what Twilight has stated in this thread. They are mean and mean for no reason and one never knows when their meanness will occur.
I am not sure what term it would be for what you mean but I do know what you mean.
It's called being an a*****e. There are far too many people in life like that. Could be for a number of reasons. Two that come to mind are:
-s***ty parents, so the child grows up either seeing their parents(s) acting like douchebags and then they do the same, or the parents couldn't be bothered to teach the child right from wrong. Ya know, those parents that want to be their kids 'friend'.
-Something happened to them in life and they decided from then on, to be the "get them before they get me" type of person.

I will be and I am quite honest about it, I am how you describe, I will and often do act in a hostile, sudden, rage when provoked. I am not sure of the term unpredictable would describe me because I know I do it and everyone who knows me knows I do it. It could be unpredictable in the sense that when I am provoked, though everyone, myself included, knows I will go into a rage, no one knows exactly what I will do or say or what level of rage I will go into.
I just honestly do not put up with bad manners, rudeness or anyone having a tone or attitude with me. I place great importance in manners, etiquette, being polite, kind, speaking well to others that when someone cannot do the same, I am going to blow. Most of the time its the tone people choose to use with me. I do not do tone well.
I usually do one of two things, I freak out in rage or I make their lives miserable and get back at them out of spite. But to just start something with someone or just be mean, that I do not do as its really bad manners.
You're not a mean person in any way, shape or form.
Your buttons get pushed, and you let that person know it.
