What offends you?

I was reading the thread on offensive tattoos, and I was thinking, "what sort of twat would get offended by things like this?" So what has offended you in the past? Swearing? Racism? Homophobia? Sex on TV? And why?

Ditto. In general I do hate cliques.
oh....
*leaves thread*
Like I said in the other thread, people that get offended annoy the shit out of me.
EDIT:
Aye, it seems people are just listing stuff that annoys them
True my point was just something that annoys me instead of actually offending me. But I just had to say it, been pissing me off all day.
I'm very liberal minded when it comes to society, I have strong beliefs and one of those beliefs is that everybody is entitled to an opinion.
It is how this opinion is brought across really.
I also hate it that some men appear think that it is Ok to pinch a girl's bum, that it's just a "bit of fun with the lads", in fact anything that insinuates my friends or I are somehow objectified or male property. I've swung punches at people for trying to touch me up in public before.
I find men (and, to a lesser extent, women) in t-shirts that say "NO MINGERS ALLOWED" or something equally witty very offensive. Though the fact that they are usually the biggest "minger" in the place does take the edge off a little
I don't think it has anything to do with objectifying you or you being "male property".
But what's also irritating is girls that think they can do the same and get away with it because they think guys won't mind (and will be receptive to it), purely because of the kind of guys you mentioned.
Not offensive, just annoying.
Oh, then there's the fucking annoying 40+ women on hen nights dressed like little tarts in fairy wings and glittery cowboy hats that try to fucking grab you and start kissing you and scream things like "BUT IT'S HER LAST NIGHT BEING SINGLE!". What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Do you think I'm gonna wake up in the middle of the night all "OH GOD SHE'S NOT SINGLE ANYMORE I'VE MISSED MY CHANCE"!?
Well I can kind of see the logic in that, in that the next time you're buying them you may remember that specfic brand name and the UNIQUE BENEFITS! of it. Although car adverts are something I've never understood. Who impulse buys a car? The people that have enough money to impulse buy a car aren't exactly gonna go out and buy a Ford Mondeo because they just seen an advert for it. Surely when buying a car you go to the showroom, have a look around, maybe find out the safest/most economical car in your price range. Surely car adverts have no effect on purchasing.
If somebody respected you more as an object, or your own property they wouldn't go trying to grope you would they. You don't go in to a stranger's house and mess with their stuff because it is intrusion of their own property.
I agree, it's not Ok for either and yes, those guys do make it shit for men who don't want thir bums pinched... Just like some women seem to give the impression that all women are out for a lay.
Well, since you mention it, the CEO of Stagecoach is a homophobic little cuntstain who would benefit immensely from being bludgeoned to death with a pink triangle. But I digress.
Not many actions actually offend me, but quite a few people are offensive. Graham Norton is one of them.
My S.O made several sexist jokes to his (male) friends in front of me and couldn't figure out why i was upset with him.
Or a smack round the chops with the new bag you're gonna buy with the £100 you found in the garden
Ha, well I see what you mean though I don't know how much difference it can make... but then I suppose the feminine hygiene market is as competitive as all others :razz:
lots of things annoy me, but don't really offend me. Like little boys that mutter 'ginger' so i can hear them, but won't say anything else or say anything to my face? Wtf? Get over it.
and people who can't spell simple words.
Another thing that offends me is the amount of weirdos (usualy at least 3 years younger than me:rolleyes: ) who I don't know who will either ask me out or ask me for sex.:rolleyes:
Some days every bloody little thing offends me, and then others im just Ms. Easygoing :yes:
And most prejudice.
