Is upsetting someone ever OK?

[Lonyo]

If you upset someone because of a petty argument, does that make it totally OK, rather than upsetting someone because of something more serious?

wouldnt think so, but it mostly goes after what you said to upset someone

Generally, I would say no.

But, it depends on the person. There's a girl on staff whose mind I enjoy playing with, so I get some sick pleasure out of pissing her off. That's the only occasion I can think of where it might be appropriate.

Yes. If they get upset about things that are that petty, they deserve it.

edit: By the way, that's a joke. Wasn't sure if it was obvious or not.

If someone's upset over something petty it may be they have a hard time taking criticism or honesty.

I upset people on a regular basis I beleive in honesty.

If someone asks me what I think I am honest. (unless she is really hot)

most of the time the argument is caused by the way you confront the person or how you express your anger/frustration.

try collecting your thoughts first and then spit them out in the nicest way possible and sincerest

if its a girl, yeah. probably didn't even do anything.

I like being flat out honest, whether that'll upset someone is up to how they think.
