People who apparently spend their lives waiting for something to be offended by.
Of course, if I know that a certain subject is sensitive, in the interest of acting with tact and finesse, I won't make outrageous jokes about it.
But it is an entirely different matter when it just comes out of nowhere. I once made a joke about a woman being a redhead, and she stormed out of the room and broke down and cried. What the flying fish kind of behaviour is that? It honestly was nothing spectacular, it was a small quip of the sort people make all the time, but for some completely unforeseeable reason, she decided that I had apparently torn off her arm and beaten her infant child to death with it.
