Oh, some people can be offended by anything, 42. It just depends on what style rubs them the wrong way...or what mood they happen to be in at the time.

There are even people who are offended by a smile. Not many though, thankfully.

I find the "God bless you!" from people when I sneeze annoying. Why? Because we didn't follow that custom in my family when I was a kid, so it always kind of surprised me and puzzled me when people did it. It struck me as quite odd. To me a sneeze is just a sneeze, not something requiring a blessing or even something to be remarked upon at all. So, somebody sneezed. So what????

Then too, I have a basic resistance to cliches. I hate it when people say things like "Hot enough for you?" or "Are we keeping you up?" (when I yawn)...that sort of thing. Now admittedly, these people are not trying to be offensive, it's just that I get fed up with hearing the same thing again and again.

We all have our trigger points.
