I once made a joke saying “I wish I could learn Latin to pretend to cast curses on people” and he said, and I quote, “y’know we don’t appreciate the racist remarks” and when I asked how it was racist and he, I sh*t you not, said “if you don’t know how it’s offensive then you don’t deserve me telling you” I had to theorize with other people about what he meant, I still wonder how I was racist against the Roman Empire to this day

The recent Pokemon card tournament where a 17 year old kid got nervous when asked his pronouns and he nervously laughed the answer out because he had never been on tv before in front of millions and blanked on the correct third term (his). The judge immediately took this as LGBTQ hate and banned him from the tournament. Without even asking the kid why he was laughing. It was horrible. The kid had spent hundreds of dollars to travel there, including hotel stays, meals and not to mention the investment in the cards themselves. All gone. Because a judge refused to hear the kids reasoning and took personal offense to a really simple misunderstanding.

I have nerve issues. When I'm tickled, it registers in my brain as pain. I would have been livid for someone continuing trying to tickle me after asking them not to.

[@OverlordZeroULTIMA]

I can't even bother people touching my shoulder (no nerve pain, just don't like it) so I can't imagine how that must be for you. ;3; I'd be ticked as well, if simply tempted to swing them away and yell "KNOCK IT OFF!". But yeah, I really hate when people just think that because they believe it's "being friendly" that other people would suddenly become comfortable with it and accept it. Tbh, some people just don't like being touched for multiple reasons...Can be nerve pain, can be paranoia, can be just because they want personal space. Really irked that the person didn't seem to understand that the one asking her just didn't want her to do that. :/ Like, great, be friendly! But...Do it in a way that makes her comfortable? Or maybe not because idk...Tickling to me isn't quite "friendly"...I find it to be more than "friendship" if it's so constant, tbh...

I was working at this one job and the topic of best friends came up. My best friend has mixed ethnic parents. Mom is Asian, Dad is African American. He has never had a problem being referred to as "Blasian" because that is litteraly what he is. I said this to a bunch of people at the same time, several of which were African American and they thought it was cool and fair. I got pulled into the office for a write up because my boss, a Caucasian, found it offensive and said I was being racist against my co-workers. When I explained I was talking about my best friend, even showing pictures of him, I was told to drop it because, even though I may not have been racist, I shouldn't talk about people race behind their backs. Really?

[@OverlordZeroULTIMA]

I admit, I never knew the term "Blasian" was even real! I heard it in a comedy video so didn't think it was a real thing. Since I'd never heard of it, I never bothered to look it up since I wouldn't know how to spell it, ahaha! I don't even remember what vid it was...I know I still like the comedian, though. Genuine thanks for confirming that it is real, and even moreso, what it means! :3 Plus I agree, it's not racist, especially if you're not using it as a way to offend the person - which you already said you weren't.

I understand how the OP in story #16 feels. I have joint hypermobility syndrome which causes me constant pain all over my body, makes me unbalanced, as well as epilepsy and also there is no cure and so I am stuck with it for life. That jerkwad can go screw himself. He doesn't know what people are going through.

[@echo-048]

I feel the same way. I also have joint hypermobility specifically loeys-dietz syndrome as well as hip dysplasia and along with the constant body pains I get hip pain just from walking, standing, and sometimes sitting, I've also been unable to run since I was 17 because of the hip surgeries. Anyone calling me Ableist for wishing to be rid of these can go deepthroat a cactus.

@@echo-048 I honestly know how you feel, joint hypermobility causes severe pain and once has even caused me a soft tissue injury, I am getting referred back to orthotics because even after wearing night splints and the splints that you wear all day I still have constant pain in those areas, I get tired mostly everyday from very little activity and before I believe I've even had severe back pain from trying to stand up after sitting down for a very long time.

The Halloween one happened to us. Had a few decorations, nothing crazy. One was a plastic arm with a chain on it hanging from the ceiling with a bit of crudly painted red on the end, like a severed arm. Women comes in and absolutely loses it on us because its "offensive" and "premotes slavery". We told her to leave and she did while yelling. Next thing we know we got a call from the owner of the land saying we have to take down all the offensive decorations because someone called and complained. Found out she had gone into every store on the block to complain about the decorations and had gotten them all taken down. Except for one place that was fully owned by the owner of the store. Dude went crazy with decorations after that. Women went as far as to get friends to protest outside the shop because he was premoting the "dark arts, satanic worship and witchcraft". She left after he told her he would call the cops for harassing his customers and staff. She still hung around the area.

Back when I was in third grade, I was having a conversation with my crush after of the school year celebrations (This was in our homeroom classroom, at our desks). We were talking about TV shows and she mentioned one that she enjoyed. I told her it was okay but definitely not the best or my favorite. She had a full psychotic meltdown over me being offensive and "not respecting her opinion". She then proceeded to sing the theme song way out of tune to annoy me. Needless to say, I no longer had a crush on her after that.

Students got offended over a Norman Rockwell painting. "No Swimming" was painted in 1921 and features some boys running away from a "no swimming" sign while carrying their clothes. some kids thought they were seeing "kids in their underwear". They told their parents and I had to explain to Admin how a century-old cover of the Saturday Evening Post could not possibly be offensive.

Our kindergarten teacher made a huge fuss whenever one of us kids used the word "love" in relation to the other kids. She insisted that at our age it was "inappropriate" to say that about anyone other than our parents. To this day I wonder what her deal was. And whether she legit thought 4 year old kids saying "I love you" to each other had some kind of erotic subtext to it. Ew.

My face could only be described as "Logic Error." I said to her, "How is that racist? You *are* black." She just said, "Oh, alright then."

Nothing like watching the 90's preacher try to call Pokemon satanic, because: -Mewtwo has three fingers, and everyone with three fingers is automatically doing the devil horn symbol -Pikachu's tail isn't a thunderbolt. It's very OBVIOUSLY the Nazi SS symbol. -The Poliwag lines swirls look like those used to hypnotize people. And by hypnotize we mean brainwash for the devil. -Hypno is creepy and steals kids. This part is true, but he was showing off a picture of Clefairy the entire time. -The cards are made by Wizards of the Coast (no they fucking weren't). That company made Magic the Gathering. MtG uses colored energy to power cards. The little elemental symbols mean that WotC is promoting witchcraft to kids. -The anime writes its characters with personality flaws. Showing kids personality flaws will teach them those flaws are okay. It was the most asinine speech I have seen any one human being give.

Come on man, and it's now like this shit is unusual, no, I've been dealing with that since I was 6,plus I'm really bad at getting paying attention, TL: DR Dad snaps at me for walking because guests are there

As an adult I was visiting my married younger brother and his three kids. We were seated at a picnic table in front of a hamburger place and he was asking everyone what kind they wanted. When he got to me I told him, and asked him to ask them to cut it in half (they were really big). It was like I flipped a switch, he face got ugly and he started screaming at me, swearing and demeaning me in front of his wife and children, everyone who was seated around us and the people walking by. It was an absolutely mortifying experience. It went on and on, he just wouldn't stop. I didn't say a word. After all that nothing was said to me by anyone, they ate their hamburgers. I left very early the next morning. There was never an apology or acknowledgment of what had happened. I never figured out what was so awful about asking someone to cut a sandwich in half.

In the 3rd grade i got suspended for talking about the damn level in the classic nes ninja turtle's game. The entire stage is in a dam trying to keep it from getting blown up, but no one would listen to me except my mom.

When I was a kid, I went to a Catholic school. One day in class a kid sneezed and somebody else said “God bless you”. The nun who was our teacher absolutely SCREAMED “Don’t say that! NEVER say that! Don’t use the Lord’s name in vain!” The ‘offending’ child then switched to “gesundheit?”

When I was a teenager, my family was driving somewhere. My parents were in front with the kids in the back. My dad asked my mom a question. Now, I knew my mom didn't know the answer but I did, so I went to answer him. At which point he snapped at me for eavesdropping on their conversation. In a CAR. I didn't have earbuds and couldn't NOT hear him. At which point he turned back to my mom, she didn't know, and I had to answer anyway

3:33-Oh, boy! You know, even back then when the concept of portable phones was still pretty new, a lot of business calls were taken on mobile. In fact, many businessmen used them when there was simply no way to get to a landline. This seems so out-of-place these days because everybody has cellphones and my whole business runs off my smartphone! XD

[@TheSameYellowToy]

Yup, I was born long after the early days of cell phones when they were bag phones or giant brick-looking gadgets, but I always heard that in those days cell phones were mainly associated with white collar professionals. So it's not like that person even had some sort of outdated view of cell phones...

During the pandemic, I was pretty conscientious about wearing a mask. Besides it being the law at the time, I have emphysema. I was working as an HVAC service technician. I was sent to a house where a older husband and wife were running a daycare. The husband adamant that I take off my mask before working on his AC. He said he didn’t trust masked people and wanted to see my whole face. When I refused, he called my boss and demanded he order me to take off the mask. My boss refused. The husband then asked if my boss could send someone who would work without a mask. My boss said that we had a technician who would work mask less, but he wouldn’t be able to send that technician for a week because we were very busy. The husband relented and let me do the work. Technically, the husband, the wife, and any adult coming into the home when daycare kids were present were required to wear a mask.

I know a girl who was offended because I lost weight. Apparently, in her mind, my hubby forced me to loose the weight. He did no such thing - I had enough of being overweight and decided enough was enough. Can’t tell her that though., I’ve tried. Apparently, again in her delusional mind, my hubby brainwashed me so she is VERY offended on my behalf. Lol. I’m not offended by my decision to loose weight. I laugh whenever I think of her. 😂

I remember in the 5th grade, my class and I were on a field trip and we were going down a hill. Ms. Thompson…bitch ass, she knew how I felt about her during that time and hopefully she still feels my vibes of hatred….screamed at us all “WHEN YOU GO DOWN THE HILL, DOOOONT GO INTO THE STREET”. The hill was connected to a street that had no one on it; it was a science center and the road was barely used. Anyway, all of the class is making their way down the hill; there was a left-hand turn that we all had to make, and then walk up another hill. There was a dirt siding that we were supposed to stay on. We all made the EXACT SAME left-hand turn!! None of us were ever in the street and we all made sure to make the turn in the same fashion as the person in front of us. It was my friend Evan in front of me, I was in the middle and then I had a couple of friends behind me, including Ebony. We are making the turn, just walking up the hill when Ms. Thompson runs to the back of the line and BERATES us for running out into the street. She laid into us and the whole class was shocked. My friend Evan has a pastor for a father, so she’s never been in trouble a day in her life. She starts crying because she didn’t get what she did. Ive never been the type of person to not say anything and I said out loud that we didn’t do anything wrong! She tried to accuse us again but I said “No, we didn’t do anything wrong”! She marched back to the front of the line after that. Ebony asked “what did we do”? Poor Evan was still crying. I said we didn’t do anything and patted Evan on the back. Luckily she didn’t ruin the entire field trip but my goodness was that woman a dick. She accused us quite often of doing things we didn’t do….and quite often did I let her know about herself. I barely had recess in elementary, I stayed in trouble lol. But I wasn’t going to be bullied by her, who cares if she was an adult. Screw you Ms. Thompson

[@sunnykitten815]

Yes ma'am thing. My hubby says it to me and I just stop and stare at him and ask if I'm old. It usually ends in my crying but he's understanding that the crying only started after I got pregnant lol
