'Being Offended' Thread.

[jaded]

I think the problems arise when anyone feels 'entitled' to "not be offended. " 

Sure you didn't intend this, altho valid.
Being the only female where I work  the above statement couldn't be truer.

I'm entitled not to be offended by graphic sex jokes, joker co-worker identifying now as any inanimate object, told that work is for men, not picked for overtime just so the guys can have a guy day,  basically every politically incorrect sentence, thought, or action is the "norm".

Have had many other coworkers INSIST I should be offended!
Calling HR to come over cause someone said or did something offensive and I need HR. No, no I don't and that kind of overstepping just gets me pissed, not offended. Convincing people that there is no problem, I don't care, mostly it's funny anyways. BTW I'll be first to call that "special snowflake" "Special Bus"an run to grab a "butt hurt" complaint form for them.

Yes, yes I DO have a right not to be offended.
You don't get to be offended for me. Hand to God I wish I was kidding about this.
