People Share the Most Inoffensive Thing They’ve Seen Someone Get Offended by

I don’t like to use the word “snowflake” because it gets thrown around so often, but it’s pretty true…people out there really do get offended by everything these days.

Hey, a lot of things are definitely worth getting worked up over but others…not so much…

AskReddit users talked about the most inoffensive things that they’ve seen people get upset about.

Let’s take a look!

1. Everyone just calm down.

“Someone once got offended because I used the word black in conversation…..I was talking about an article of clothing/the color black.

They tried to make in to something about race, and that I shouldn’t use the term black anymore, and should say African American, I said that makes no sense I’m literally talking about the color black.

Am I supposed to say I’m wearing an African American colored shirt?! Maybe I’m crazy but I think that’s actually offensive”

2. She sounds like a blast.

“This guy at a Halloween party I was at was dressed in a giant bacon costume.

Some girl was yelling at him for being so offensive toward Jews and Muslims (she was neither Jewish nor Muslim). One of the Muslim guys at the party asked her what the f*ck she was talking about but she didn’t back down.

I have no idea why people feel they need to go out of their way to be (inaccurately) offended on behalf of other cultures/religions.”

3. Makes perfect sense.

“While working tech support back during the dot com boom I had a customer get upset with me over the use of the word “icon”.

He said it had religious implications and he insisted I call Windows icons “little picture things”.”

4. Get a grip.

“A f*cking picture of an eye.

We have an organization-wide theme every year and all the PC’s on our network have the same background and theme which can’t be changed. So this year’s theme is “Vision is 2020” and the background was a zoomed-in picture of an eye in really awesome colours.

Two women on staff wrote letters to complain that the picture was “heathen” as it drew from “Illuminati” imagery and paid tribute to the “all-seeing eye of Eqyptian deities”.

They wined and complained to such an extent that the picture was eventually changed to shut them up and let the normal folks get back to our actual work.”

5. Oh, Jared…

“I sang the song “hit the road jack” to a kid I just beat in a game while in the 3rd grade mockingly.

He took that as me calling him a jack*ss. He told the recess monitor this. I was told to stand against a wall away from the rest of the kids with the recess monitor.

I am now 27 now, married with two kids but I will never forget this.

If you ever see this I DIDNT CALL YOU A JACK*SS JARED, BUT NOW, F*CK YOU FOREVER.”

6. That’s how they do it.

“Got chewed out once for saying, “yes ma’am,” to a lady.

I’m in the south, that’s what we do.”

7. Was he a total psycho?

“A sandwich. I kid you not.

My ex husband was given a sandwich by our then 13yr old daughter and because she cut the sandwich he went off on a massive strop about how his sandwiches should never be cut etc.

The poor kid’s face, she was crushed. It still winds me up no end every time I think about it.”

8. People can be terrible.

“I worked at a movie theater. Went above and beyond for a customer who only wanted a certain amount of oil and salt for his popcorn.

I had to make him his own batch and risk burning myself to catch some of the hot oil in a cup before it went into the kettle. He then realized he was late for his movie. He asked if there was any way I could bring his food to him in the theater. Never heard that before, but sure! I don’t mind.

Bring him all of his food and he says thank you. I smile and say “no problem!” I was genuinely happy to do this for him.

He throws a fit and complains to my manager. Me saying “no problem” somehow insinuates that when customers ask you to do something it can be a problem. Said I should get written up for not saying “you’re welcome” instead.”

9. Violent imagery.

“I managed a small, new team that had no procedures or policies, so I set about instituting some.

“I mean, you never know, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow and then no one would know how to process these requests,” I told them, when asking for their feedback and for them to write up how they did their tasks. 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.”

10. You’re wrong.

“I’m a white South African.

Born here, my nationality is South African.

Some American girl got offended that I called myself South “African” as a white dude, and said that only people of color can call themselves that.

Uhhh, it’s a nationality.”

11. I’m being persecuted!

“At my wedding we marked the vegetarian items as vegetarian.

This made the one vegetarian at my wedding (sister in law who hates me) fly into a catatonic rage because we are singling out the vegetarian food as vegetarian and not treating it as normal food.

Then how the f*ck are they supposed to know its vegetarian?”

12. This is offensive to me.

“This happened just last week.

I work at a bank in an affluent part of Atlanta (read: Old White Money), and a woman called in to let us know she was offended by the security questions for her online banking.

The security questions. She herself setup.”

13. The nerve of these people!

“My dad loves to tell the story of how, shortly after they were married, he and mom went to get some fast food.

As they pulled up to the drive through window, my very conservative mom saw a sign that said “Condiments available upon request” and said “OMG, that’s disgusting! WHY would a restaurant feel the need to give those out!?”

She had misread it and thought they were giving out condoms upon request.”

Now we want to hear your stories.

In the comments, tell us the most inoffensive thing that you’ve seen people get offended by.

Please and thank you!

Want to Hear Some Stories About Hypocrites? Here’s What People Had to Say.

There’s almost nothing worse than a hypocrite in life.

It’s really enough to make a person’s blood boil! Myself included…

But, as you already know, they’re everywhere and we have to deal with these people whether we like it or not.

Folks on AskReddit shared stories about the most hypocritical things they’ve ever seen.

1. Gross.

“When I was in college there was a super immature guy that I believe only got into our private school because his parents had money.

One day we were sitting in his dorm room watching tv, and he speaks up: “god, don’t you just hate people who steal things for no reason?” The rest of us turned and stared in disbelief. Behind him on a shelf was a collection of all the things he’d stolen from businesses. I remember Red Robin seasoning and bowling shoes, but there was a lot more.

A glimmer of self awareness pierced through his thick skull and he back tracked somewhat. “I mean for me, it’s like ‘my thing’, but still!””

2. All over the place.

“A post saying stuff like “don’t forget to wear a mask, we’re all in this together, stay safe everyone!”

Followed by a series of videos taken inside of a crowded club, bumpin’ and grindin’ up on each other, not a mask in sight.”

3. Oh, really?

“People who watch TV for hours on end saying playing video games is a waste of time.”

4. Oh, Mom…

“My mom got very angered that our governor was allowing people to have family over for Thanksgiving, and not doing his part to stop the pandemic.

A week later, she was very upset about how my grandma had declined her invitation to come have Thanksgiving with us.”

5. Terrible.

“I work in a courthouse.

People who abuse children for years and years and when they get on the stand they breakdown crying and plea for mercy.”

6. Typical.

“When I was going through my college party phase I ended up hanging with kids who graduated from a local Christian school. They drank, did drugs, and bragged about premarital s*x like a lot of college students.

When you talked about politics tho they immediately would go on and on about the moral failings of society and how it needs to be more Christian yadda yadda.”

7. Some of the worst.

“Televangelists preaching how we should live modestly while they own several private jets to fly around the country spreading the word of The Lord.

Sometimes they’ll come on TV saying God came to them in a dream saying they needed more.

Jesus would fly coach if he flew at all.

I believe Jesus also preached about taking in the displaced, etc?

Iirc in 2017 Joel Osteen was not allowing hurricane evacuees into his megachurch.”

8. Very annoying.

“My friends who complain about people who break lockdown and then go on to break lockdown for “sleepovers” and “girly nights” the same day they were criticizing others.

Infuriatingly entitled.

“Others must follow the rules but they don’t apply to me”.”

9. Harassment.

“I’ve been repeatedly s*xually harassed by a gay man before and have even had to make sure he didn’t find out where I lived so he couldn’t keep doing it.

When I explained this one time to my co-workers one sneered and said I was just being homophobic and assuming it was harassment. I said the man has repeatedly attempted to convince me to sleep with him despite my refusals, attempted to find my home, and once tried to trap me in a public restroom to make sure he couldn’t lose track of me.

If I was a woman in this situation would my coworker even think of telling me that I was overreacting? Fortunately the rest of my crew supported me and tell him it was hypocritical to assume s*xual harassment can only happen to women.”

10. Hmmm…

“A chick who posted about how she doesn’t eat beef because she loves cows, the next day posted a photo of her new designer leather handbag.”

11. Dear Old Dad.

“Just my dad in general. Here’s some highlights.

As a child, he’d often tell me I had to think for myself, but then he’d beat me if I said things he disagreed with. Sometimes, he’d pose questions to me, and then hit me until I guessed the chain of logical jumps that led to the conclusion he was looking for.

He once went on a 4 hour rant about how my generation are all dirty communists and Muslims are all terrorists and a big gay conspiracy and other such nonsense. I couldn’t get a word in edgewise, but he had the gall to end with “I’d be willing to change my mind if anybody were willing to have a discussion with me, but nobody’s willing to talk with me”.

When Trump got elected and people were complaining about it, his response was “how dare they question the president; that’s disrespectful to the office.” A month earlier, he was still aboard the Obama birther train. These days, he thinks Biden stole the election.

In high school, he sometimes made fun of me for being a creature of habit. He’s had the same routine, worn identical outfits, and eaten the same lunch every day for the past 20+ years at least. I didn’t have much say in my routine back then anyway. School ate up most of my time, and it’s not like my parents allowed me to get together with my friends.

Similarly, he’d make fun of me for not having friends. I did have friends, but to him they didn’t count because he’d never met them, because he never allowed them to visit, because he’d never met them. He has one friend that he sees outside of work once a year, and often times not even that.”

How about you?

What Would You Do if Time Stood Totally Still for 48 Hours? Here’s How People Responded.

Before I learned that time was going to stand still for 48 hours, I would want to learn how to fly an airplane so I could fly wherever I wanted and do some serious exploring without any interference.

Hey, a boy can dream, right…?

What do you think your plan would be?

Folks on AskReddit talked about what they would do if time stood still for 48 hours.

Let’s take a look!

1. Sounds like a plan!

“About a half hour of not realizing, 47.5 hours of existential crisis, followed by years of therapy.”

2. I’ll take that!

“Rob drug dealers.

What are they gonna do? Report it to the police?”

3. Good luck with that.

“I would be a bank robbing mofo!

I could amass one hell of a stack in 48 hours.”

4. This is pretty good.

“Tie people’s shoe laces together.

Pick up all of the dog cr*p in my neighbor’s yard and put it in her living room.

And…. steal the Declaration of Independence, then hide it in Nic Cage’s house.”

5. Enjoy the peace and quiet.

“I’d steal a bicycle (because I don’t own one) and ride around enjoying the quiet and stillness.

Maybe an electric bicycle, because I’m old and fat, and in reality I’d probably last 10 minutes on a regular bike.”

6. What just happened?

“Move everyone slightly off the ground not enough to get hurt but enough to realize you’re falling making sure everyone is in the exact same position.

Except one person hanging off of something very visible so everyone gets a weird falling feeling except that guy who really can’t explain why he’s in a harness hanging of 2 light posts.”

7. You do you.

“Walk around naked with no shame.

Do a helicopter every now and then.

Find a nice spot, drinks some beers, whilst having some music on.

A basic way to spend my 48 hours, but a peaceful one.”

8. Mess with ’em a little bit.

“Have some fun.

Change things ever so slightly like switching peoples’ clothes, turning them around, turning cars around, put a dog leeah in random peoples’ hands.

So many minds are going to be blown!”

9. Too scared to act.

“I would think about doing illegal things, but then I would wonder if people were just not able to move but could still see what I’m doing, so I would be too scared to do anything.”

10. Shopping spree.

“I’d “go shopping”! I would hit all the big corporate stores and just steal everything of use. I’d finish my Christmas shopping.

I’d steal a fridge and a few freezers and stock my garage with food for a year. I’d steal items that are going to be rare favs this Christmas and then resell them on ebay once time unfroze.

I would hit the dispensaries and steal all of the weed. I’d take cash from all corporate stores. I would be set up for a long time.”

11. Help out the kids!

“This might be kind of weird, but I steal all the really good toys from Walmart that are on the hot lists right now.

Not like every single one, but quite a few. Walmart can take the hit.

Then I donate all that sh*t to Toys for Tots.”

12. You blew it!

“Be confused.

I would jump from one idea to another and won’t be able to start until the times over.

So basically nothing…”

13. Got it all figured out.

“First thing I do, get in my car and drive somewhere ~10 hours away from me.

I then start going around to jewelry shops and I start taking the precious metals. Mostly ignore the gemstones, those have lesser value on the resale and also have the possibility of getting tracked (gemstone chemical signatures and such are tracked to some extent for this reason).

I spend the bulk of the next 20 hours or so just loading up on gold/silver/etc before driving back towards my hometown.

Somewhere ~2 hours away from home (probably on the opposite side of where I did my thefts) I go to a spot in the middle of nowhere and I dig a hole in the ground in some very out of the way spot and I bury the metals there. I then head home and at that point I should have a few hours left. More preparation is needed.

The MOMENT that time resumes, I go to my car and I head out into town to my various usual shops. The Starbucks, the Subway, the grocery store, the hardware store, etc. And I make it a point to chat with the people there, maybe I hit on some of the employees (while dying inside, that’s not really something I do) just to make it a little more memorable in their minds. Pay for EVERYTHING using my credit cards. Stop by my bank and do something, like buying more checks or something.

The whole point of all of this is that if I left any DNA or anything behind, or somehow there was other indication that I was there, I have this alibi. Sure, you might have my DNA at the scene of the crime(s) but how do you explain that I provably was in my hometown 10 hours away from the crimes? I definitely don’t have a twin!

Either way, after a year or two (even if there’s no sign that they are onto me) I go and pick up the metals. From that point I set up a little home-forge (they are pretty easy to make for <$200 using random materials). From that, I melt all the metals down and I cast them as “artistic sculptures”.

Little things like a pound or so. Then from this over time, I drive around and go to pawn shops wanting to sell “my art”. Inevitably they won’t give a sh*t about the artistic value of these things but will likely pay for them in terms of “It’s a 1 pound solid gold statue. I’ll pay for the 1 pound of gold.”. And slowly but surely I convert all these things into cash. Never visit the same pawn shop twice.

As far as the cash is concerned, basically just start paying for everything in cash, though I don’t go ONLY with my ill gotten cash. Withdrawn money from my bank account now and then and when I’m paying for things, go 50/50 between the dirty money and the real money. Either way, I hide the sudden existence of the money by spending it slowly over time effectively reducing my expenses.

In this way my bank accounts have no real visible difference in behavior other than I appear to be living a bit more frugally. It wouldn’t be enough to trigger any audits so I should be good.

In the end, the reason I end up being able to buy something flashy is because it LOOKS like I saved up money over time, and I did if only because the dirty money helped me reduce my visible expenses.”

How about you?

What would YOU do if time stood still for 48 hours?

People Talk About the Statement, “Sleeping in Your Car Should Be Legal, and Not Looked Down Upon”

I’ve never actually lived in my car, but I’ve had a few nights when sleeping in my car was the best or the only option and I snoozed the night away in the backseat on a side street somewhere.

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do…

So why is there such a stigma around sleeping in our vehicles?

AskReddit users discussed whether sleeping in your car should be legal and shouldn’t be looked down upon.

Let’s see what they had to say.

1. Your decision.

“To me it makes no sense that you can’t legally sleep in your car in certain places. Like sure if you’re on someone else’s property you should find a better spot.

But there are whole cities where it is flat out illegal to sleep in your car on public property overnight. You own your car, it should be your decision if you can sleep in it.”

2. Agreed.

“It’s liability issues, but I agree with you.

If I was traveling around the country I’d hate to have to pay for a bunch of hotels when I could just chill in my car for a couple nights.”

3. You can make it work.

“You just have to have the right car, correctly set up. If they can’t see or hear you in the back of your vehicle, and if they have no reason to believe the vehicle is occupied, you’re golden.

I’ve done this with a cargo trailer that I set up inside as a camper with a bed, fridge, microwave, etc. Also, car camped for a while with a Honda Element that I put curtains over the windows. A panel van would work well too.”

4. From someone who’s been there.

“I slept in my car for 5 months.

I also had a job delivering sandwiches so it worked out. I usually slept in Walmart parking lots and never got bothered unless i parked literally anywhere else. Ive never had more run ins with the cops than when i lived out of my car, but on the flipside, they were all very understanding and never wrote me any tickets.

Living out of your car is very scary at first, but you get used to it and it is very eye opening/ enlightening. You get an outsiders perspective of the rat race. Everyone around you is in busy mode, chasing the next dollar just so they can afford a place to put a mattress.

In the city, sleeping is the only thing you’re not aloud to do anywhere else besides a home. You can literally do everything else you need to do to get by.

Living in your car gives you this sense of freedom that you’ll never get anywhere else besides an RV i suppose and even then, i would imagine you could get stuck in bed like you do at home. When you wake up from sleeping in your car, you’re up and ready to take on the day.

There is no sleeping in really because when you wake up you have to find the nearest bathroom before you sh*t your pants. The cleanest bathrooms that you can go in without looking weird because youre not buying anything are at the dollar tree. But they open at like 9am so i would always have to use Walmarts when i woke up. I will say, thunderstorms are pretty f*cking scary when you live in your car.

Every storm feels like a f*cking tornado is about to blow you away. But yeah. There are a lot more people who live out of their cars than you think.”

5. Might be true.

“I’m convinced the money hotels make from sleeping in a car being illegal is a contributing factor to why it’s still illegal.

Also, the general hatred of poor and homeless people in this country.”

6. Can be sketchy.

“Truck stops can be safer but it depends on where you are at.

Theres no way in hell id sleep at the TA truck stop off I 95 near New Jersey nor the one in Baltimore. Hell most of the truck stops whether they’re part of the Big 5 (Loves, Travel Centers of America (TA), Pilot, Flying J and Petro) or not, i wouldn’t stay at in the north east at all.

They’re incredibly unsafe, most are dirty and if you attempt to camp out via an RV or even just a tent and your car, you’re likely to have some very unwelcome attention from not just the truckers but also the truck stop employees and locals….. Most truck stops now will absolutely boot or tow your car/pickup if you are parked there for more than one or two overnight visits.

As for parking at Walmarts… No. Absolutely not. You cannot park, camp or stay overnight in Walmarts any longer due to the issues that are brought about by such things… Namely idiots leaving trash, dead food out in the parking lot, people using the parking lot as a bathroom, abandoning pets and just trashing the place for no reason (since there are trash cans everywhere).

Most Walmarts that allow you to camp out or even sleep in your vehicle on their property are very few and far between. Even asking management before you head to bed won’t do any good if theres a city ordinance that says no camping… Since 95% of Walmarts lease their land from the cities they operate in.

I was a trucker for 7yrs.”

7. I feel this comment.

“I’ve watched too many horror movies and documentaries to sleep in my car on the side of the road.

Like I’m legit afraid some hillbilly might kill me.”

8. I don’t think that would fly here.

“Apparently in a lot of Scandinavia they have “wanderer’s laws” or something that allow you to camp and forage on even private property in most cases.

Kind of an interesting concept.”

9. Shouldn’t be an issue.

“Honestly, it shouldn’t be an issue, so long as it’s limited to one or two night stay within a certain area, within a certain period of time (say per acre/per week).

And you must be low impact unless otherwise stated (no fire, no garbage left behind, no destruction of the property). Sadly, it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone else.”

10. Not in my backyard.

“I don’t want homeless people sleeping in front of my house.

I want my tax dollars to provide safe and adequate solutions for people.”

11. No winners here.

“This was actually a big thing where I grew up.

It was a very safe, upper middle class area with very little crime to pursue. Police spent a lot of their energy trying to hand out DUIs, but also fined people for sleeping in cars or leaving their car overnight.

It created a no-win scenario of either driving illegally or parking illegally.”

12. All about money.

“This is the reason right here. So many laws exist to force you to have to spend money on things.

“What you found a way to live that doesn’t force you to rely on consumerism and capitalism and doing work for you that makes you money that pays me less than I’m worth? To buy goods and services and products I don’t actually need and could find ways to do without paying?

We can’t have that!””

13. One night only.

“There are tons of places in the US where you can, but most only allow you to stay for a night.

Cracker Barrel, Walmart, Home Depot, etc., you just have to check for signs prohibiting overnight stays. I’ve parked my RV overnight in all of those places. Rest stops as well.

In smaller cities without big box stores, simply asking the local police if its OK always worked, especially when I mentioned getting a little too tired to drive.”

How do you feel about this?

Should people be able to sleep in their cars legally and without judgment?

Tell us what you think in the comments. Thanks in advance!

People Share the Dumbest Things Folks Have Ever Confidently Said To Them

As you get a little bit older, you really pick up on one important thing about the world…there sure are a lot of DUMMIES out there!

You know what I’m talking about, right?!?!

And it also doesn’t really help that we currently live at a time when people don’t believe in facts and everyone thinks they’re right about everything.

Oh, boy…

AskReddit users shared really dumb things that people have said to them with confidence.

This should be interesting…

1. Beware of vampires.

“You can only get Covid-19 if you get bitten by someone who had it.”

2. Timezones.

“How can it be 9 AM here (Toronto) and 6 AM in Vancouver, at the same time?” – a work colleague, years ago. I tried to explain it but it didn’t work.

I remember that she was a very sweet and kindhearted lady and she really could not understand it.

I think she lacked some basic knowledge so the concept of timezones was too advanced for her.”

3. A well-known fact.

“There was a guy I knew from the UAE in college with me.

We were talking about track and field for some reason and he blurts out “Ya, women shouldn’t be running so fast because their ovaries will burst”.

He was absolutely serious and insisted this is a well known fact taught in high school biology.”

4. Let’s consult the map.

“‘Amsterdam is a city in London’.

I couldn’t even begin to explain how wrong she was.”

5. You idiot!

“Totally looked me in the eyes and yelled that all I do is sit on my *ss and that I should go get a job.

I’m in a f*cking wheelchair.

True story!!!”

6. Ouch.

“I worked at CVS and this woman was buying a 6 pack of Smart Water.

She asked me if it would make her smarter and when I said no she asked to speak with a manager?”

7. I think you’re right.

“I had a co-worker, 45 year old white dude from interior Saskatchewan argue with me that the Chinese phrase he heard that one time was absolutely correct and that I just didnt know it.

I am Chinese, born in China and speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese.”

8. One of those folks…

“That dinosaur bones are manmade by scientists to convince us there is no God.”

9. It’s also a country…

“I was asked what country I’m from and I replied Georgia.

The person then said “oh, honey that’s a state. That’s not a country”…”

10. This is amazing.

“My friends wife believed me when I told her La Quinta means “behind Denny’s”.

He told me later she argued with her sister about it.”

11. Clearly a genius.

“I was talking to a girl on vacation and when we got to “what do you do for work?” I said I worked in my parents’ hog farm.

She, with a disgusted face said, “Why Don’t You Get Your Meat Ethically From The Store Like Everybody Else!?”

I was too dumbfounded to even carry on with that conversation and it ended almost right away”

12. You think so?

“A super Conservative buddy of mine…

We had a debate about global warming, green energy and using oil/fossil fuels for energy. I pointed out that regardless of how you feel about fossil fuels, we would have to eventually move on to something else because theres a limit to using oil and sh*t.

He said in a drunken stooper..”WE”RE GONNA FIND OIL ON THE MOON AND MARS!”

I told him the conversation was over after that since he didn’t understand where the f*ck oil came from..I still f*ck with him about it once in a while.”
