In current times, it seems like everyone needs to pick and choose their words wisely, or else they’ll offend someone without even realizing it. People are taking offense to even the tiniest things, some of which make no sense. At this rate, nobody can keep up with the ever-expanding list of what is offensive.

One Redditor decided to poke fun at this weird phenomenon and asked people to describe incidents where folks got way too riled up about the least offensive stuff. You might just lose your mind at some of these responses, or not, if you aren't easily offended.

A woman in her 50s got so offended by me having a disabled parking permit that she took the time out of her day to park behind me so I couldn't leave and proceeded to call the police. The police came and cited her for breach of peace for how irate she was acting.

    If everyone approached life with the mentality of trusting that everyone else is being appropriate it would be a much better world. That person is in the handicap bathroom stall they must need it. So and so called out sick they must be sick. John is on disability he must be disabled and need that service. Sure some people game the system, but those people are in the minority and are indistinguishable from the vast majority who aren't so let's just not judge Because we can't possibly know.

    "Can't Work Out The Mental Gymnastics There": 31 Funny Moments When People Got Offended Over Nothing Me not wanting to have kids. People get so up in arms about my personal choice that has zero impact on them. As if me not wanting to have kids has somehow devalued their own children or that me not wanting to follow their same life path invalidates the worth of theirs.

    Bruh, go make babies, be happy. I'm no reflection on you.

    Major issues like racism, homophobia, classism, etc. shouldn’t be treated lightly or made fun of. When there is actually discriminatory behavior, it makes sense if people get offended, express their feelings, or set boundaries. But if someone is always getting upset or irritated over the smallest stuff, then it probably points to something deeper.

    Let’s face it, there are people who get too easily offended, and they can’t wait to unleash their fury on any unsuspecting person. This behavior could stem from many reasons, such as unhealed psychological issues, a lack of self-esteem, feeling self-conscious about something, and even the person’s emotional state. This thread is full of people like that who can’t seem to avoid making non-issues into full-blown tragedies.

    "Can't Work Out The Mental Gymnastics There": 31 Funny Moments When People Got Offended Over Nothing Someone called me black (I am) and a white woman got offended on my behalf, correcting them that it’s “African American”. When I corrected her that I prefer black, she looked appalled and told *me* that that is offensive.

    🥴

    Edit: I want to be very clear that I do not have a problem with the term African American. For those not in the know, it comes from the civil rights movement in the US as a way to reclaim the ancestry black Americans had largely been denied. My only point is that it is a preference and if someone corrects your use of any term that is applied to them as an individual, it’s very easy to just say “okay, got it” and make the change. Pretty easy, folks!

    It’s not just situations or people’s actions that might be seen as offensive; certain language has gotten a bad rap, too. That’s why many people worry and obsess over what they’re saying and whether they’re being politically correct. Surveys have found that 68% of men and 51% of women feel that too many people are easily offended over language. Adults over 65 are likelier than young people to feel the need to be careful with what they say to avoid offending others.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    It becomes harder to know who you’ll offend because of how intricately language and culture are tied to people’s identities. In this day and age, social media can also magnify a person’s outrage and bring a whole lot of other people into the conversation. If many people buy into accusations against you, then it may not end so well.

    I was hanging out with several guys when one of the noisier atheists sneezed. There was a brief pause, and then I heard a voice say, "Um, may the random and chaotic forces of the universe bear more propitious nasal health in your future." He was quiet for a second and then said, "I'm ok with Bless You" but it almost got past me because I was thinking, "Hey, that was *my* voice."

    A big impact of social media outrage is a phenomenon called “cancel culture.” This powerful force is backed up by large groups who withdraw support for a person or organization if they’ve acted unacceptably. People have been quick to call out offensive behavior in recent years, but they are still divided on the effectiveness of ignoring it or speaking up. Another survey's research found that 5% of people on social media feel that you shouldn’t engage with offensive posts, and only 4% believe that it’s important to call people out and hold them accountable.

    To understand this phenomenon of people taking offense at even the slightest things, Bored Panda reached out to Teal Swan. She is a New Thought Leader specializing in human development, relationships, and trauma healing. She gave an insight into cancel culture, mentioning that “cancel culture says it is wrong to find humor in anything that is ‘sensitive’ in nature to anyone else. Cancel culture seeks to destroy history that does not align with current values, rather than to see it as history; and history as complicated.”

    "Can't Work Out The Mental Gymnastics There": 31 Funny Moments When People Got Offended Over Nothing There's a popular breakfast joint in a town in VT. Used to eat there frequently when I visited. It's on a traffic circle, and the city puts it on the businesses lining it to maintain the grounds inside the traffic circle with flower beds. In exchange, the businesses got to put up little signs. The breakfast joint put a sign up by the pedestrian crosswalk that said "Brake for [business name's] bacon." Someone complained that it was against their religion to eat bacon, and therefore the sign was offensive. The breakfast joint ended up taking the sign down.

    Teal Swan shared a few more thoughts on the culture of offense, stating: “Cancel culture is a shared social attitude and custom of trying to get rid of the source of something you dislike (the person saying or doing something) rather than trying to resolve or enter into conflict with the words or actions themselves. One of the main things fueling cancel culture is our attachment to a sense of goodness. People can commit all manner of sins when they are convinced that they are doing it for the ‘greater good.’ The reason that the pattern of cancel culture does not stop is because we fall into the trap of seeing the person doing the canceling as a ‘good guy’.”

    “Social media has changed the world we live in. It has given people control over canceling what they like and dislike that they never had before. It takes nothing to ‘cancel’ someone. Today, if someone doesn’t like something that someone said or did, they simply rally a group of people against that person from the comfort of their own homes and get them to do things like spread slander or collectively report the person so as to eradicate their support and to have their platforms removed. It is to consciously poison people against someone, so they turn on that person,” she added.

    "Can't Work Out The Mental Gymnastics There": 31 Funny Moments When People Got Offended Over Nothing Back when personal drones were just becoming more accessible, I was cashiering at a Rite Aid and we just put our Christmas stuff out, including a stack of cheap drones.


    This kid, maybe 8, and his dad had picked up a few items. The kid sees the drones and says, excited, "oh, wow; that's cool".


    His. Dad. *Flipped*. 


    DRONES AREN'T COOL THEY'RE FOR PERVERTS WHO WANT TO PEEK AT YOU IN YOUR OWN YARD ONLY FILTHY DIRTY PERVERTED PEOPLE WANT A DRONE 


    And so on, as his kid is *shrinking* into the floor. 


    They had already paid for their stuff so after his screamfest dear old Daddy pulled his kid out the door, still swearing and grumbling. 


    Torn between being thankful they weren't regulars and sorry I didn't get a chance to tell the kid, *it's not you, your dad is just a d**k and everyone sees it*. .

    If you’ve said or done something that’s genuinely offensive, it’s important to take responsibility for your actions and apologize. But if you’re dealing with someone who takes everything to heart, the best way to de-escalate the situation is to remain calm. You shouldn’t fuel the fire by getting angry or aggressive; instead, respond rationally and try to understand where they’re coming from. This can lead to a rational conversation and hopefully prevent these outbursts from happening again.

    If you know someone who loses their cool over inoffensive stuff, studies have shown that it all connects back to self-image. This means that they don’t like it when people question or do things that make them feel like their identity is being attacked. However, this tendency to get offended over everything can change if they try to develop their self-esteem because it can act as a buffer when their feelings are hurt. It might take a while for people get to a place where they feel totally secure, but it can help protect one’s mental health in the long run.

    Knowing the difference between important issues that should be taken to heart and small occurrences that don’t warrant that type of anger is essential. Of course, there might be situations where the line is blurred, but the posts in this thread clearly don’t fit into that category. That’s why this thread received over 3.4k comments, with people sharing their most unhinged experiences.

    My daughter was in grade school and was excited for St. Patrick's day, Shirt, earrings, the whole 9 yards. The teacher tells her she is not Irish and shouldn't be dressed like that. My daughter is mixed, Mexican ancestry on one side, Irish and Belgian on the other. So I called the school and asked for a meeting with her teacher. We sat down, she asked my name and immediately figured out what the issue was. She apologized to my daughter in class the next day. It isn't even really about someone's ancestry - why would you say that to a child?

    That's... oddly specific. Especially if OP happens to not be Icelandic or even not from the Reykjavik area.

    She seriously made me explain what I said, then got pissy and told me that I shouldn’t joke about things like that because I “seriously destroyed her confidence in me as a nurse.”.

    Some people just have no critical thinking skills. Or a sense of humor.

    "Can't Work Out The Mental Gymnastics There": 31 Funny Moments When People Got Offended Over Nothing I grew up with a kid who had the last name of sprouse but every single teacher/substitute would pronounce it as spruce during rollcall and he would lose his f*****g s**t every time. like i remember i had like 3 classes in a row with him the first day of school and each time he blew a gasket. when we'd have substitute they'd do it too and everyone in class would start giggling and staring at him as the rollcall was approaching his name then predictably they'd say "spruce" and he'd start yelling and screaming at them. it was wonderful.

    Being upset at people repeatedly refusing to pronounce your name correctly isn't really what this thread is about.
