My ex gf from college got mad at me and didn’t speak to me for 48 hours. Why? Because she texted me asking if she could borrow my charger and I said “Sure” instead of “yes”. Apparently it’s rude to say “sure”.

When we broke up she texted me asking if I was happy leaving her. I texted back “sure”. It’s been 15 years and it still makes me laugh.

Had a date get upset and walk out on me because my blouse had those little strings on it that hold them on the hanger. He asked me what the string was and I told him and then he called me "too bougie for his taste" and stormed out.

Had a houseguest who used my toothbrush then got mad when she got a cold sore. I understand being upset, but the blame is clear.

I love telling this story.

I worked retail for 8+ years, so I've got stories. This one particular day, we were kind of dead. I was stuck at the service desk and this nice little old man came in and shuffled up to the counter. I smiled and greeted him, he returned the smile and explained to me that he wanted the information on one of the sofas we were selling at the time. His wife was stuck at home and he wanted the dimensions, the fabric type, etc.

So, I grabbed some receipt paper and a pen. I walked over to the sofa he was interested in and began writing the information. He stiffened and let out an audible "OH..." I apologized and asked if I had done something wrong... he goes, "you're left handed... you... are a *COMMUNIST*!"

He then shuffled his elderly butt back out the door and across the parking lot. While I stood there just like ?...

I never got angry with him, but it was incredibly hilarious and out of left field.

I used to work security at a high-end condo a long time ago.
Someone on the top floor called about a possible intruder on their roof-terrace-area-thing. So I immediately went up to the roof to investigate.
Lady complained that I entered her property without permission.
Lady, *you* called *me* for assistance. If you don't *want* my assistance, I'll go grab a Coke. I'm thirsty.

Walking along with boyfriend (now husband), I can't even remember the context but I jokingly called him ugly, he hit me with an equally jokey "nuh uh YOU'RE ugly" and we continued this childish back and forth for about a minute until a stranger overheard us and then got mad that we were being "so abusive to each other", even though we were clearly joking and laughing.

I've had people get mad at me a couple times for not being willing to take a right on red when my view was obstructed.

I'm not going to risk my car and life just to save you 20 seconds.

Edit: the last time it happend some dude in a silver Jeep was literally honked and was frantically waving his arms to the right with his mouth open and an angry expression.

The the pure entitlement of people like that.

Guy at work drove a vehicle into a metal pole and blamed me. Was so mad at me. Actually reported me and told the manager it was my fault.

I was 50ft away from him when it happened, but because I was the last one to talk to him before the wreck, in his mind, I was somehow at fault.

For dyeing my hair, even when I hadn’t.

First day back after the summer holidays and I’m walking into my classroom and my teacher would not stop watching me, glaring at me but I continued and sat myself down at my seat.

She kept her eyes on my the whole time, as the rest of my class arrived and sat down. It was only when everyone had settled, that she called my name in front of everyone, causing all eyes to be on me.

The first thing that came out of her mouth was, “You’ve dyed your hair. It’s lighter.” Not asking, just accusing and so she gave me an instant detention. I told her that I hadn’t, that it got ever so slightly blonder because of being out in the sun more but she shook her head and told me not to lie and then gave me another detention.

Obviously, I didn’t go, so I got more detentions for not going but I didn’t go to those either. It went round and round until she stopped but deemed me a naughty child.

I had a girlfriend break up with me because she got an eye injury and I told her to go to the ER. She wanted to study for her final exam.

She took a projectile to the orb (unrelated to me). She was leaking vitreous fluid. (TL:DR That’s the stuff that isn’t replaceable.). She ended up missing her final and was furious at me about it. I probably saved her eye with first aid & prompt Dx. Didn’t matter to her.

Thst was a life lesson for me: even when you’re right, relationships work on the value system of the partner as well as your own. I should have acknowledged her priorities better, even if they were dumb.

Would do it again tho….

I was comforting her because she was sick and her grandmother died. She told me that whenever I showed her compassion, she would get irrationally angry at me. Her words, irrationally angry. Kinda ended stuff between us, because she said she didn't know why she did, but couldn't stop herself from reacting that way, and it wasn't healthy.

I was on a bus once, and this angry last just snapped and started yelling at me for not getting up and giving her my seat.   


I had both my hands resting on my cane right in front of me.     There were a dozen other people sitting down who weren't visibly disabled.  .

When I was 16. Dating a girl who bought me a mouse teddy thing for Valentine's Day - I thought, 'awe that's sweet, something different!' So I said, 'That's really sweet, something different! I love it's a mouse! What made you pick the mouse?'

And she went mental.

I made it SUPER clear I liked it, and appreciated it, and the question was a genuine, 'what made you think of that, it's so cute, how'd you pick it, it was perfect' question. But no.

So she took a 150 Irish pounds + of a vintage locket I got her, and threw it in a drain.

Nutter.

Because I didn’t call her every hour while she was out with her friends

She ended up dumping me for that also - saying it showed I “didn’t care enough “.

One time I was walking down the street, then a woman who I'd never seen before tapped me on the shoulder and told me "You know what you did" and I responded with "I don't know what you're talking about" and she replied with "I know you're lying" then stormed off.

So, I don't know the reason she was mad at me, but I'm pretty sure that was the dumbest reason anyone had gotten mad at me.

A couple years ago a man angrily called me demanding to know why I had called him. I had not called him and was actually busy cooking when he called me. Maybe a year or so after that a woman accused me of stealing either her mother's phone or phone number. I'd had the number for probably a decade at that point so I don't know what that was about but I was having a bad day and we both got pretty loud and angry.

One time, a friend got really mad at me because I didn’t reply to their text right away. I was busy with work, and my phone was on silent. When I finally checked my phone, there were like 10 missed messages, all getting more and more upset. I replied as soon as I could, explaining that I was just caught up with work. But they were already furious, thinking I was ignoring them on purpose. It turned into this whole argument about how “true friends” make time for each other, even though it was just a few hours. It took days to smooth things over, all because I didn't respond right away.

My toddler once raged at me 2x as hard as she was already raging when I handed her the milk bottle that she specifically requested I hand to her.

That was pretty dumb.

Maybe the common factor is, two people not seeing the world in the same way, nor trying to see each other's point of view. But losing one's temper rarely helps.
