35 Things You’d Never Think To Be Offended By Until Someone Else Was When working at Walmart someone’s total came out to $6.66. I guess they were superstitious. They told me to change it by a penny up or down, but I couldn’t without them purchasing something.

I found stickers for $0.05 or clearance tackle for $0.10, but they didn’t want to buy anything. They just wanted me to change it by a penny. I told them it wasn’t something I could do, and I wasn’t going to charge them for something they didn’t purchase. I offered to split the order, but the didn’t want to carry two receipts. I told them they could just not take one of the receipts and they b***hed about that too.

They. Threw. A. Fit. They tossed all their s**t on the counter, started yelling at me, and ultimately left without buying anything. Wasted their own time, and breath for absolutely nothing other than a stupid anecdote I get to tell occasionally.

"Our mood or emotional state definitely has an impact on our perception," Dr. John A. Johnson, professor emeritus of psychology at Penn State University, told Bored Panda.

"Some people are more-or-less continuously high-strung, so they react negatively to many situations, including those that most of us would regard as trivial. But even people who are normally pretty levelheaded can become over-reactive if they haven't had enough good sleep lately, haven't been eating well, or have been under a lot of stress."

According to Kandi Wiens, who is a senior fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education and the author of the book Burnout Immunity, not only is the sheer number of people experiencing burnout higher than ever, but recent evidence shows that burnout is affecting workers at younger ages—and its effects are more debilitating.

Indeed, the 2023 Stress in America survey revealed that 67% of adults ages 18 to 34 say stress makes it difficult for them to focus, 58% describe their daily stress as "completely overwhelming," and nearly half report that most days their stress is so bad they’re unable to function. No wonder so many of us are overreacting during casual interactions.

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.

"Also, people might be harboring anger over some past issue, and the 'dumb reasons' are not the real reason the person blows up," Dr. Johnson explained to us.

"If someone overreacts, I might want to ask them if there are other things going on in their lives that are stressing them out, or if there's something I've done recently that upset them that they would like to talk about."

Dr. Johnson acknowledges that remaining thoughtful in these situations is often easier said than done "because when we feel that we've been judged unfairly, we might not feel like dealing with the person at all."

But it's important to at least try. "If the person is important to us and is someone we spend a lot of time with, we have to get over our resentment at their apparently irrational judgment and try to have a calming conversation with them."

35 Things You’d Never Think To Be Offended By Until Someone Else Was 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.

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.

I have partial hearing loss, not enough to be counted as a disability, but enough to be annoying as there's a frequency almost dead-middle of the spectrum I cannot hear. And there is a small subset of the population I found that their natural speaking voice sits in that part I can't hear, so no matter what, their words unless they pitch it up or down slightly are unintelligible to me.

Anyways, I'm working at a store doing whatever, and I can hear *Something* but it sounded far off and directed elsewhere so I just ignored it. Out of the corner of my eye I can see this old woman just staring at me with a pissy look on her face, I asked her if there was anything she needed help with and I swear to god I cannot tell you what she said and I was staring right at her. So upon asking her to repeat herself she stomped off in a huff and bitched at my Manager who (thankfully) already had witnessed this issue. I guess he played up the guilt factor that she yelled at a "Deaf" person (I'm not deaf) and she conceded whatever her point was on my behavior.

Once I explain I have difficulty hearing, some will try again, but others just continue acting annoyed. They seem to think I should just make myself hear better! During covid and the wearing of masks, I just gave up trying because I need to be able to read lips.

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.

That's someone who wasn't 'allowed' to be upset or vulnerable as a child and had their distress continually dismissed or ignored.

So to them you being caring and nice and comforting them feels like criticism

Leaving the gym once, my phone was at 2%. I was starving. He'd only go through the drive thru if I ordered ahead. He got furious at me for trying to complete my order before my phone died instead of hyping him up about the great workout we just had.

I asked him to pick up ham when he went to the store after two years of doing all the grocery shopping due to him being unemployed.

The first guy started to get really angry and demanded that I tell him where Angie is and what her new phone number is because her old number was disconnected. I kept insisting that I didn't know Angie, but he wouldn't stop. He finally said "You tell her I want my money or my stuff or she's gonna regret it!" The second guy was basically the same, but I later caught him prowling in my back yard looking in the windows. He started yelling that if I was hiding Angie, I would regret it. I called the police, but the guy took off before they got here. The repo guy demanded I open my garage to prove I didn't have the car and that I show him my ID. (1/2)

(2/2) The repo guy threatened to call the police. I told him to go ahead and call the cops because it would just help prove the harassment I already had experienced. I never found out who Angie was, but I was pissed at her for a really long time. (edited for clarity)

A dear friend must check anything he's told online. If he finds confirmation, then OK. If not, then he'll try to debate you that your info is not verifiable. It doesn't matter how minor or irrelevant the comment. You can say, "I think D&W can make a billion bucks." & he'll research exactly how much it's made & the odds of reaching that amount. Normally I don't care & just move on, who cares, right? Alas, lately he's starting to do it when you just express an opinion or mention a personal experience. One is not verifiable & the other it's literally calling you a liar. I may be misremembering something, but please take my word for it & move on, it's not research, just chatting. ::sigh!:: My biggest struggle is to get him to let things go. He's lucky I love his a*s. ;-)

My ex got angry at me coz I didn't enjoy watching animals with them. I said very clearly "it's not my thing" and I watched a couple movies with them but didn't enjoy it.

I had someone here on BP getting pretty upset with me because I believe in nisser and also teach my kids about nisser as if they are real entities. Turns out I am a horrible mom and I am gaslighting my kids and they will grow up hating me for lying to them. I never replied to the message because I don't thi k the angry BP'er would ever calm down on that topic. But if I had replied I'd have said 1) it is a 1000+ year long tradition in Denmark to believe in nisser. 2) it happens to be part of my personal faith to believe in nisser (among other things). I sometimes think about the angry BP'er and hope that he/she is happier now. 😊

Museums a long walk. I would've asked if I could push, just so I had something to lean on. Does the motivation change the reaction?

Medical PA here - just got shouted at for asking a patient if they had eaten beetroot because they were panicking about haematuria. Guess what? 🙄

I fell asleep at a meeting. I was woken up with "Am I boring you??" I said yes, but I have narcolepsy. That shut her up.

I once told a coworker "you look so pretty today." She never spoke to me again because l had, apparently, implied that she was ugly on all other days.
