How Easily Offended Do You Get?
Just curious to know...
I'm not easily offended myself... Because what I get offended by passionately doesn't happen very often. And when I'm offended and angry, you'll know because I don't speak. I shut the hell up and pretty much say not one word to you. I usually walk away too. Because I don't want to explode on that person.
And when I'm super-duper angry, I hyper-ventilate and cry. And then get quiet. And walk away. (And no, I don't think there's anything wrong with crying. It's better to have me cry at you then rip your fucking face off.)
Stuff I find annoying but don't get offended by easily includes:

Stuff I find annoying but don't get offended by easily includes:
- Every-day hassles... Like standing in lines. Waiting for trains.
- Someone telling an off-color or sexist joke.
- Stupid people you encounter who just don't know what they're talking about.
- People who chew with their mouth open.
- Someone telling me what to do in a tone that is condescending. (FYI: I won't do what is asked.)
- A racist joke.
- Someone trying to control you by telling you you aren't doing a good job, even though you 100% are. (I call this one "verbal jujitsu.")
- Being excluded. Blatantly. Purposely.

I get angry a lot due to little things like lines, idiot drivers, etc. But I really need to work on controlling that anger. Happy words!
I also get offended by people who impose their organizing tactics on me. I'm organized just fine, thanks.
I could go on - but I won't.
annoyed: LOTS of things, but mostly every other person who rides the T. like today, i LOST MY SHIT on the T because a woman NEEDED to walk from the back of the train to the door WHILE THE TRAIN WAS MOVING, because OBVIOUSLY she wouldn't be able to get off at her stop if she didn't, because NOBODY gets off at state street. NOBODY.
sorry...that is seriously my biggest pet peeve ever.
On the offended scale, I rank a 2-3. I am a person who just accepts that everyday events like waiting in line or traffic are part of life. There are things worth getting upset about, everyday inconveniences are not on that list.
What’s really making me angry on a more constant level is the economic disparity in our country; the chasm between people who are doing extremely well and those that are just hanging on. It’s a leafy-left pain point, I know, but I am just amazed and upset by the huge numbers of people who are slipping through the cracks of our economy.
1.i get offended when people confuse preference with racism or discrimination.
dating or marrying within one's own race is preference
2.i'm offended by people that get insulted when someone verbally states the studied and reported fact that cities that are dominantly minority are higher in crime than cities that are not and consider such a belief or comment racism
3.i'm offended by people who attempt to verbally negate those studies are truth or legitimate even though they're proven.
4.i'm offended by people who bash someone (regardless of their race or color) for moving into whiter communities to escape high crime.(the action is often termed as 'white flight'.)
i'm offended at anyone who decides to re-define for themselves what racism and discrmination is apart from the legitimate definition put forth in the dictionary.btw,technically,a person that prefers blondes over bruntettes is being discrminatory in their choice,but it doesn't mean they hate brunettes.what we call discrimination and being discriminatory are two different things. bottom line is i'm offended by stupid people with an agenda
