Don't respond. Remember that people make mistakes and they may have a really bad moment. Try to not take it personally whatever they say and keep your distance. When they calm down you can try to talk down with them and let them know how they made you feel and eventually work together on helping each other manage those moments better.

Pointed out their anger or mean behavior and tell them how it made you feel. Do not blame or argue with them but empathize their feeling and situation.

let them rant out for a while and talk to them to see if they are ready to calm down. Once they seem ready to listen talk them out of whats bothering them.
