Do you use formal spanish to indicate anger?

Hi I'm new to the forums. I speak pretty decent Spanish and have several friends from Mexico who only speak Spanish. I have noticed that one of my close Spanish Speaking friends uses formal Spanish when he gets mad with someone. All of a sudden he says "Usted" and "Señor/Señora" to people he is close with once he gets angry. I've never noticed anyone else do this and wonder if this is normal culturally or just a quirk he has.
