The only thing that offends me, is when people assume I don't know something.

You know, the type of thing that somebody says to you, and you just think to yourself, "do you think i'm an idiot?"

Hmm. What exactly is the definition of offend? Like, what Im wondering is what is the difference between being offended, and just not liking it?

i think to offend is something more personal than just not liking it. i may not like cats but they do not offend me. i'm offended when idiot mother fvckers tell me that Jews paid the arabs to go fly planes into the WTC because they must think i'm an idiot to believe something like that. That's more personal. Thats offensive.

Ahh... makes sense. I guess Im offended by more then I thought. But it still really doesn't bother me that much. I just *shrug* and go about my buisness.

People who have so much yet have grudging hearts when it comes to giving anything to others.People who are rude to those in positions beneath them.

I was taught respect as a child. You call all gentlemen sir, and all ladies ma'am. To not do so is to insinuate that they deserve disrespect.

There's a really, really, really hot girl at my local starbucks that calls me sir. I wish she'd stop.

I'd like her to call me daddy instead.

It wouldn't be masturbating for long. I'd hit it just to punish her.

- people insisting I must do things because it is religion/culture/tradition/all my friends do it. You insist I to do something or behave in a certain manner then its got to be for a better reason. This goes right along with people telling me I should be reading the bible and going to church even though I am not a Christian dammit (this happens a little too often especially in third world countries)

- Strangers talking to me like I am an idiot (i.e when I am in England and I sound like an American, I swear one day I am going to knock one of those immigration officers at Heathrow out)

- People who can't handle their measly little trivial problems and insist on telling me all about them (even worse when its over the phone). This is more of an annoyance, I can't really say I am offended by it.
