Easily offended

[CyberLurch]

I wonder if it's that people seem to have a tendency nowadays to think that they're far more interesting / important to everyone else than they actually are? That because the world revolves around them, everything that everyone else does when they're nearby must be either done deliberately to please them or just as deliberately to annoy them?

It is exactly this. This mindset has always been a problem, but the rise of cell phones and the internet (in general) and social media (specifically) has really inflated the egos of a lot of people.

I don't get why they get offended when you try to stop an injury. I think they just want to be offended regardless ... because in regards to health and safety you are damned if you do tell 'em and damned if you don't tell them ... either way your dealing with a annoyed parent.

But don't you realise you're getting in the way of their attempts to sue the store when their little precious inevitably falls and starts gushing blood?
