FabSwingers.com forum: Taking Offence

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I have been very contemplative and introspective lately, and i have come too realise some of the things i take offence at are actually pretty silly.

For example, i get offended if someone presumes i am stupid because of a Northern Accent, when it says more about the person presuming than myself.

What offends you and why?

P.S this isn't intended as a gripe about things on fab, just what offends you in general and do you have good reason?

I am not easily offended, some say I am too laid back, but taking offence will cause stress or anxiety, of varying proportions depending on much offence you take.

I simply use the sticks and stones approach because like you say, comments made that are meant to offend, say more about the person saying them.

People assume, because I hail from Liverpool, I wear shell suits,a handle bar mussie, sport a large perm... And am a dab hand at removal of hubcaps, and anything that's not nailed down.

Oh hang on......

This is also me generally too, very few things offend me, but realising some silly things do, and why has taken the offence away.

I mainly just get offended by people who try to patronise me or underestimate me. I can sound a bit outraged by things without actually being offended sometimes

Hahaha

come up to Scotland they're a LOT more friendly to us Scousers up here.

What really offends me is people who look down their nose at others especially on this site. Ie making comments about what type of photos/status' other people choose to have. Pretty pathetic really.

Seems like some people are continually looking for things to be offended by these days. Even to the point of being offended on behalf of other people.

Takes an awful lot to offend me, in real life I don't get offended.

On here once in 9 years a thread has really upset me.

Some people spend their entire lives being offended, sounds to much like hard work to me.

Thought of another thing: supposedly mature adults who go through threads to find something you're insecure about, and then post status updates calling you that very thing, followed by proclaiming their open minded, non judgemental and honest nature over every thread they can.

If you're going to be a bitch, just openly be a bitch, it doesn't fool anyone anyway.

I should feel offended when couples come up to the bar and the male in all his d*unken wisdom makes a remark about how cos I'm black I must get all the fanny, and to stay away from his mrs as she might "never go back" to use the second half of a well-known phrase.

Lol I get it a lot. And then usually I give the lady a cheeky wink when hubby's not looking and I get a smile back. I should really take it one step further and ask for a cheeky blowie or phone number to really prove the fella right haha

Yup seem to be a fair few on here who act offended and break out the faux shock and surprise. Must be delicate in real life.

I only really get offended by people I really care for because I'm not that concerned with what others say or think about me, so I'm very rarely offended

I can find things offensive without feeling personally slighted though.

Yes, this! I'm always offended by anything and everything because I'm a grumpy bint. But still with a smile on my face if that makes sense.

I don't take stuff personally.
