35 Things You’d Never Think To Be Offended By Until Someone Else Was
Interview With Expert
Emotions are powerful. So powerful, in fact, that they can feel like irrefutable facts and consume our entire being, blinding us to other perspectives. Even when they're more reasonable than ours.
Recently, Reddit user Mlkrs_maria posted a question on the platform asking others what the dumbest reason someone got mad at them was, and people immediately started sending in their replies.
From texting the wrong word to merely minding your own business, continue scrolling to check out the ones that got the most attention, and don't miss the chat we had with psychologist Dr. John A. Johnson. You will find it in between the stories!

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.

When my now wife and I first got together it took months for me to convince her that when I say, "Sure," I mean, "Yes." Somehow she equated it with me not really agreeing and would press me for a "Yes or No" answer.

My ex did that too. I had never heard of it before. For me, Sure = It's a sure thing = I am sure = Absolutely = Yes.

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 society is so ridiculously superstitious. Buildings still skip the 13th floor because, you guessed it, 13 is unlucky. And the 666 thing just reveals how ignorant of their own faith Christians are; 666 is said to be the number of a man, not a cash register total. And these are the people that think Trump is awesome.

Yeah, got a co-worker alike. While tagging patch cables, he just threw out the sheet with numbers 650-670 away because 666 was on it. When he got a new company van I asked him what he was gonna do when reaching 665 km with it. Crash it? Drop it whenever/wherever it reached the point? (the question was not received well)

Load More Replies..."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.

I have gone blonde to brown and back again without people noticing. I decided A) people don't generally look that closely B) I suit both so there was nothing obviously wrong. I've since learned if I'm having my hair cut I announce it to everyone. The time and date with exaggeration and they will always say something the next time I see them. It's always done tongue in cheek but if it's important don't expect people to read minds. You're happy and they're happy because they genuinely can't tell the difference!

One night he was harrassed by some teenagers from the "ghetto" nearby (as ghetto as it gets here. Lol) and he called the police. Before the police came the boys ran off and when the police then came, they knocked on his door. He thought it was the young boys so this guy chose to SHOOT AT THE POLICE!!!! the police he called himself. He was taken to the police station. And that was just one of the many times this guy felt he was treated unfairly.... 🙄

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.

This reminds me of when a random stranger got mad at me for jokingly calling my identical twin ugly.

Very weird. Edit to add: I was standing right next to my twin at the time, so they could definitely see that we looked the same

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."

Obviously, knew it was a dream, but weirdly couldn't shake off the dreamt dismissal by the shops staff. (Maybe I'd have felt better about it if I had real doughnuts in the house, idk.)

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.

This is absolutely real! Bill collectors will do this as well. They call from 40 different numbers from 20 different area codes. Why not just call with a legit number and listing, say who you are or leave a callback number. If these idiots think people are going to give any info out to a random number, they gotta be joking. So I'm guessing one of these fools called some woman spoofing my number and she called back wanting to know why I called her. I had no idea who she was. She said "you called me! It's here in my call log." I explained what this was and she was like "wow! they can do that?" It should be illegal really. Wait until you get a call displaying your own number! That's happened too!

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.

Subreddits are policed by the mods who created them and anyone else they pass the title to, so they can ban you for anything. Some will also automatically ban you for using certain words (I got one once for “Brexit”), and some will automatically ban you for posting on opposing subreddits (e.g., posting on “CyberStuck” gets you banned from “CyberTruck”).

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.

Depends. If you NEED somebody's answer to complete some planning, but they read it, don't reply, but you get a dozen notifications that they have taken part in a survey about toilet paper preferences, you're absolutely right to be upset, and a doormat if you don't see how that is sort of a problem. If you just assume you were ignored, and there's no urgency to any of it, it seems most entitled of course.

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.

I have bilateral moderate-to-severe hearing loss, and even with hearing aids have trouble hearing. People get irritated quickly when I ask them to repeat what they said more than once. 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 score great on hearing tests, but have a lot of trouble distinguishing multiple sounds at the same time, like all the sounds become one combined sound.

Parmeisan 1 year ago
I don't know what it's called, but there's a test for that. I got my hearing checked in high school and they found I had this issue. In the test, there is a voice saying phrases that you are asked to repeat. Then there are random phrases as background noise that starts out imperceptible and gets louder as the test goes on. After a certain point I could no longer distinguish the voice I was supposed to be listening to, and just repeated background phrases. Might not be exactly the same thing as yours? It's interesting, though.

I was hearing for 64 years then overnight went completely deaf. I now have bi cochlear implants. I was in a store shopping and another customer asked me something but like many with CIs or hearing aids, I couldn't orient the sound and didn't know this person was speaking to me. Then the person asked "What are you? Deaf?" That's when I realized the person was speaking to me so I turned around and responded, "Why, yes I am. I am completely deaf." That person then called me an a**. My response was, "I guess it takes one to know one." and walked away. I still don't know what they were initially asking me. Since I'm short, I'm sure it wasn't to reach something for them from the top shelf - ha, ha.
Regina Holt 1 year ago (edited)
I also have the problem off all the sounds mixing together and not being able to distinguish my conversation from the other noise. I've had people be annoyed at me that I was ignoring them. If they are behind me and they didn't specifically call my name loudly, I would not know they were trying to talk to me. I also partially read lips because some letters sound too similar, so seeing their mouth helps me distinguish between "N" and "M" or "F' and "S". If I am having difficulty, I will just swing my hearing aid from behind my ear, and tell folks that I'm sorry, but my hearing aids still don't give perfect hearing. If I mistake what they are saying for something else, I just tell them that my hearing aids don't catch everything, so my brain fills in the gaps, and sometimes my brain is playing games with me.

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….

For someone with such advanced technical vocabulary, I’m not sure they totally get how TL:DR works. I *am* sure, however, that in an alternate universe, the GF who lost the use of an eye was equally mad at them for not making her go to the ER.

The 'TL:DR' in this case is an in-line usage; it's applicable only to the part inside the parentheses.

Sometimes the straight/right lane is wider near the intersection so if people going straight stay on the left side of that lane, there is plenty of room for the right turners to go past them and turn. But they get mad when the straight going people sit in the middle of the lane blocking right traffic. Still, they shouldn't get mad and honk.

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

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 wasn't smiling when I saw him. I also didn't say hi (or anything else) before he started asking why I was so pissed off.
I didn't put away the folding chair when I went to the kitchen to get a drink.
I limited the weed budget to 1k a month during the pandemic when I was the only one employed.
I got him socks for his birthday after he'd made comments the last two years at every gift giving occasion that he just wanted someone to get him socks. That wasn't the only thing I got him, but I did get him socks.
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.
I asked him not to add extra salt to my plate
I asked him not to slide my gaming table top across the floor.
I looked up a diagram of something he was verbally explaining because I couldn't visualize it.

The reasonableness of this one depends on if it was marked as reserved. Our state campgrounds can be reserved online or just 'show up and see what is open". When a spot is reserved, the park ranger puts a little notice on the space number saying it is reserved. If he ignored that and took the space anyway, their frustration is valid. If they just showed up thinking it was their own private spot - no valid.

Don’t buy glue traps they’re horrible, and incredibly cruel. Buy regular mouse traps or catch and release traps.

My father would yell at me for the mistakes of my brother. Leaving a room but not turning the lights and fan off? INSTANT BLAME TO ME. Leaving one's sandals or shoes on the carpet when you're not supposed to? INSTANT BLAME TO ME. It got to a point where I just exploded onto him about this bs and didn't talk to him for a few hours. Didn't even try to apologize and just went on a tirade how children aren't supposed to be angry at their parents. My mother on the other hand REALLY shut him up after that.

Why would that be a reason to be mad at someone in the first place? ‘Tim! Tim! The mouse trap worked, but it’s moved 20 cm to a different room!’ ‘Nooooooooooooooooo!!’

And the mice themselves, if not fully adhered, will relocate them too.

They have so many petty reasons why people became upset at me, but I'll find one.
My aunt prepared food for me and my cousin. He became upset and said my food looked better. That happened a few years ago.

I feel like I need to know how old each cousin was at that point.

Yes…? I’m not sure what your point is exactly, but I want to know now 😅

Had a roommate who didn't believe I cleaned unless she saw it. When she told me that, I think some of my brain short circited.

Why clean? Those helpful little elves will do it all when no one is watching. /s

For some reason this reminds me of this episode of Kitchen Nightmares when the guy everyone hated for never pulling his weight had pictures taken of him cleaning stuff as ‘proof’ he cleaned, even though the place was filthy.

I had a girlfriend who told me if I wear my new Roman-Sandals at my moms birthday she will break up with me.
She gave me the mad looks for the whole weekend we've been visiting my parent's home.
We broke up soon after - I'm still not wearing these sandals (just because they are uncomfortable tho).

My ex was upset because I didn't say how I liked my sandwich. I questioned her why she didn't ask me before doing it.

Well that guy's a bell end. If you want something done a certain way it's on you to say so. You don't wait for it to be made then complain that it's wrong and blame the other person for not asking how you want it.

Perhaps OP didn't know that she was making him a sammich? IDK, just throwing that theory out there

I was talking to a girl in a bar, when I met a german girl later that night I talked with her and the girl I had the convo earlier with told me I should f**k her and she was mad at me, while I didn't even knew here lol.

Imagine going to a bar and having a good time talking to people with no ulterior motive. Crazy! /s

Zoom in on the guy in the pic. There's a row of curls across the back of head - looks like he forgot to take out the rollers. Then, that buzzed area around his ear & the top of the beard coming to a sharp point. & What's that on the front of his neck? Looks like the beard used to grow further down but then he shaved off that area with a dull blade. Is this like a human Mr Potato Head? Just stick random pcs on? If that's a toupee it's the worst one ever. Maybe this entire "look" identifies him as part of some religious sect unknown to me.
What do you think ?

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.

Few weeks ago I got a text message from some woman thanking me for taking her to the emergency room. I texted her back that this was a wrong number and hope she get better. We end texting back and forth for awhile. Found out she lived in Washington state. I live in Indiana. So there was a 3 hour difference. We had a nice text conversation.

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.

Once had a friend blame me for her ankle getting hurt when I was pushed into her and fell. And she hung on to that for YEAR no matter how many times it was explained to her. Yeah, we aren't friends any more.

Just yesterday. I posted an AMA about having donated my eggs when I was younger because I thought people might be interested about the process/ethics involved, and maybe it might encourage others to consider doing the same. Someone got pissed at me because I said "my child" about the resulting baby, and that I would be thrilled to meet her, once she was 18 and could ask for my contact details. Apparently they thought I was acting unnecessarily entitled towards the child. Like, I went through a lengthy, painful and invasive hormonal and surgical procedure just so I could farm child raising to someone else and then claim them back when they were an adult? I just meant they were my biological child. I'm still not sure how I should have referred to them instead - the product of my donation?

I got kicked out of a online sewing group for correcting one of the admins. She was convinced Aldi actually produced - as in had their own factories - the machines they sometimes sell. Her main argument was that she lived in Germany where Aldi is from so she knew better. Even showing her a Wikipedia page of the actual manufacturer didn't convince her. So she banned me 🤷♀️

I bought a house that had previously been a rental. During my first week, I had 3 different people (incl. a car repo guy) show up asking for "Angie". I explained to each of them that I had just bought the house and didn't know anyone who lived here before. 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)
