30 Times People Got Offended And Upset About Things Most Would Never Get Offended By, As Shared Online Had someone get offended by me calling my brother "bro". They insisted that I was racist and that white people can't be related to Mexicans.

Like seriously lady. That's not how genetics work. We are 100% related and are a mix of white and Native American. Its not that unheard of for one biological sibling to come out lighter or darker than the other.

And even if we weren't related... Seriously? I'm racist for calling someone close to me my bro despite being different skin tones? Seriously?

Thank you for coming to my rant session. Have a good day.

I still remember in kindergarten when my friend and I were reading all the colors out loud on one of those crayola super packs. I got straight up yelled at and sent to the principal's office for saying "orange pizzazz" because the teacher said I called someone a "p**s a*s" and *would not listen* despite having the crayon as evidence.

After a 30min scolding and waiting for my mom to **leave work** to pick me up ***for my suspension***, she came in all apologetic. When I explained to her the whole situation, not the school's side, Ma went apes**t. I'd heard her say "s**t" once, that's the only swear I ever heard from her, and we had just been rear-ended in traffic.

"How about c**t?! Can he say c**t?! Cuz you're all being c***s right now! This is f*****g ridiculous!" And just went off while I'm sitting there all :o and the principal is just red af.

I got un-suspended on the spot, but she pulled me out of school for the day anyway. We had a lovely day and she explained very well how I shouldn't swear like that unless absolutely necessary and I've exhausted all civility. "When being civil simply isn't working, sometimes you might have to call someone a p**s a*s."

The next day at school, I learned that I now had the stigma of being the kid who got the crayola super pack taken away :(

Ex of mine once flew into a shrieking rage because while he was driving, someone swerved or did something surprising, and i gasped out loud.

Apparently that meant i didn't trust him and our entire relationship was in question.

The amount of rage for the level of infraction was...upsetting.

ETA for those suggesting I was overreacting and the annoying one, he was a terrible, aggressive driver. And we lived IN BOSTON.

EDIT2: I'm reminded of the time he reversed the car out of a spot by turning the wheel sharping and gunning the engine, smashing the entire side of the car into the concrete pillar next to the parking spot. That was my fault too, for not warning him he was going to hit the pillar. I gasped that time too, despite being warned that gasping was a sign of distrust in the relationship.

30 Times People Got Offended And Upset About Things Most Would Never Get Offended By, As Shared Online Maybe 22 years ago, I had a phone interview with a baking company. I didn’t care to have my peers know what I was up to so I took the call on my cell phone in my car. The call was crystal clear and no technical issues.

At one point, they had mentioned the weather and asked how it was where I was. I told him that I was sitting in my car and I could see that it was actively snowing and what not. The interviewer asked me, “are you taking this call on a cell phone?”
I told him I was. Then he asked me if I thought that was appropriate. I asked him what he meant by that. He said he thought it was kind of rude to take a formal call on a cell phone. I told him I would be more than happy to conclude the interview if talking on a cell phone was an issue. If he was interested, I’d be happy to continue it the next day when I’d be at a desk. He again repeated how rude he thought it was that I had called from a cell phone and that there was no need to continue the interview process. I disagreed with the first point but did agree with the second.

To this day, I wonder what the hell he was talking about and where he was coming from.

Then we would come back together and decide best practices in a meeting.

Little man filed a complaint to the manager for my use of "violent imagery" and said that he felt threatened. It was a whole thing. Ultimately, he got fired. F**k him, byeeeeeeeee.

In french we have a way to address for a man (Monsieur), a married woman (Madame), an unmarried woman (Mademoiselle) and we use to have one for an unmarried man (Mondamoiseau) wich disappeard from official paperworks since i don't even know when.

In the name of gender equality, "mademoiselle" was also removed a few years ago from official paperwork. Also in the name of gender equality some employee were told to not call young women "Mademoiselle" anymore and to go with "Madame".

So the trick is, some women will get offended when called "Madame" because it makes them feel old and some women will get offended when called "Mademoiselle" because it's sexist. Clerks a doomed.

My dad gave me the silent treatment because he swears up and down that wasabi is extinct, and I pulled up multiple pages that proved him wrong. Oh, and he still says it's extinct and "don't believe what you see on the internet" but he's the kind of guy who would believe articles from the Onion.

Tell him that onions have gone extinct. That will blow his mind.

A parent once got angry because her son (student of mine) was dyslexic and I marked down his spelling mistakes. In an English writing exam. He scored a very respectable 78% because he did his very best, but she insisted I should ignore each and every spelling error because “You know what he means!” Yes, I know, and no, I won’t.

To be fair (not sure how long ago this was, or where) but nowadays and where I work, if a student is dyslexic they should have an EIP, and it likely would either give the student access to technology to write exams, or it would have instructions on how to take into consideration their dyslexia (like maybe only deduct half what you normally would for spelling mistakes, for example) if you were following an EIP, which the parents get at the beginning of the year/term and SIGN, then she wouldn't be able to complain since she signed it and therefore agreed with it.

I am all for not using slurs! However, I once talked about a nice, black family that lives nearby, and was flabberghasted when I was severely told off, not to call people black! The correct term is afro-american! Weeeell, actually no. We in Norway, and this lovely family was refugees from Somalia, and had never in their lives been anywhere near the Americas! The correct formal term is norsksomalier.

Im in America and afro-American is rarely used. I, as a black person, have no problem with people, of any race, calling me black. I think I prefer that over African American because that sound too formal.

The classic one I face every day is when I speak to a female customer and there is no salutation. Do I email 'Mrs', 'Ms', 'Miss' or use their first name? I'm old fashion and prefer to use surnames BUT... I have failed when I've been told I am being unprofessional for using a forename (I kid you not!!!) and when I've use the obviously wrong title. A classic was being called 'inefficient' for not sending a customer an invoice BEFORE we'd undertaken any work at their home (and she was Nora Batty-ingly serious!!!) I put it down to the water...

Anyone who takes offence when offence was NOT intended, is a fool. And anyone who takes offence when offence WAS intended, is a bigger fool.

I'm afraid I'd be SHRIEKING at the sheer stupidity of every one of these if I came across any of them irl. Honestly! People are just too....too, that's all. I got written up by a temporary manager once because a visitor had asked me how I liked the chocolates that were on our nursing station desk (it was a box of the nastiest chocolates made here in the States, well known for being terrible candy). I said I only ate one, but didn't care for them. He was the one who supplied them as a "treat" to all the staff, and was offended that I didn't like them, so my then-boss wrote me up. Idiots, both of them. I chose to never eat what visitors supplied again.

This is clearly extremely toxic, as you don't excuse yourself for being offensive but for us feeling offended. CANCEL HIM! 🤣

I keep my seat belt on. During turbulence, the plane might drop suddenly, and if it does your head will hit the overhead rack and possibly breaking your neck.
