Ever make anybody mad?

I come from a long line of fine Scots/Irish that came to this country just before the revolution. It's almost a curse in a way because I think I'm hardwired to pi$$ people off. I don't do it intentionally, it just shows up and I have to deal with it. Mostly I have to apologize a lot but sometimes I have to defend myself. Women are worse than men because mostly they don't want to take any prisoners when the fight starts.

I finally got some insight into my affliction when I read the book "Born Fighting" by Jim Webb. I can channel that guy real well. Some days I just need to keep my mouth shut except to eat.

I can walk into a room of strangers and not say a word and make someone angry a me. I am in pain 24-7 and have a half scowl or a grimace on my face and that seems to set people off. I usually shake my head no at them and walk away. I've only had one person in the last few years grab me to turn me around and give me what was left of his mind. He didn't like the tip of my cane in his solar plexis. I warned him if he put his hands on me I couldn't insure his safety. End of discussion.
When I was young I had plenty who threatened me and my family with harm after an arrest. I would quietly say to them to think of what they were saying because his/her threats could backfire on them. An apology usually came after they thought about it. Would I have acted upon that? NO. Personal integrity. honor and pride in the badge you wear keeps you from sinking to their level.
 
Well, besides my wife on a regular basis...

Once upon a time, before I figured out that people like me better when I'm not drinking, I ate a bartenders dinner when his back was turned. Then next day, all I remembered was that I had teed someone off. I ran into him a few days later at the store, and thankfully, by then he was laughing about it.

That's just my favorite of a whole bunch!
 
I dont even know where to begin? here is a list of possible offended types.

idiots like one of my neighbors who consistantly puts foot into his mouth past the knee. Happened again last night on a mini argument on business practices. Im one of those who HATE--the thing of ""Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul"" kinda thing.

I had a very pretty well endowed girlfriend when i was in college. One night she wore a new dress whe bought and I wasnt particlarly paying attention to what she said and i THOUGHT she told me to grab her and I did--got a yell and she grabbed and threw the car keys out into the darkness. Luckily for me--I had a well working flashlight. :-)) She later calmed down and said she merely meant for me to touch the material of the dress.

Sometimes I grate on enough nerves and just tell them to "Take a number and stand in line." :D :D

We had extreme child abuse as kids growing up. My mom hit us with a wooden spoon that she turns the tomato sauce with. One day my older brother had enough he took the spoon away from mom and snapped it in half. Smoke was coming out of her ears. She came back with another and he snapped that one too. By the forth wooden spoon her supply ran out.
That night it was dad's turn with his belt. We all got it.

I had this nut case working for me at work he was my bosses friend. He would play 50's music near me to make me mad. I put heavy metal on my radio. I never showed I was upset the whole time. He was one of those guys who thought he should be the boss. I being the newbie got the job. I hated it. I was told to do it or your fired. I hated this job but I was paid at the corporate level money wise. I took it as a chance to better my families life. The job was great I used all of my talents. The political part of it I wasn't good at. I'm a work not running for the election.

But I'm no Angel either if you upset me I'm like a Alabama tick who digs in more and more till they shut up or explode. Being a steel and iron worker I can keep up with the best of them. The rookies caught he'll. But it's all in good fun. On an old timer once I tightened up his vise with a 6' pipe and then hid to watch him. Back then on the job if the old timers liked you(newbie) your were golden.

It was hard work but the guys made it fun plus the hours went by fast.

I had a teamsters job once. We punched in at 7am waited around till coffee time at 9am. Quit for lunch at 12, back to work at 1pm/1:30pm. Punched out at 3pm. We worked very hard in between. It wasn't a no-show like on the soprano' s.

As a kid we walked into a bar/restaurant that was owned in north Jersey by the orginal soprano,s get it? These guys talked calmly and quietly to my dad. They were very professional. They talked about gokarts to me. I had a kart and they owned a track. They weren't like the bumbling idiots like on the tv show soparnos. It's really about business not smashing heads. My dad did some work for them.

The parting shot a lady friend took was, "you are rude, crude, and socially unacceptable." My response was to thank her for the complement. I'll tell ya that was not well received, talk about one hot babe.

At one time I was starting to believe a day spent not pissing folks off was like a day without sunshine:D.

I saved this one for almost 15 years.

Recently my wife's best friend was down for one of her tri annual visits. We were all in the kitchen and I let one rip, that was louder than expected. My wife got mad and said "how dare you do that in front of my girlfriend", I replied "I'm sorry Lucille, I didn't know it was your turn." The wife gave her usual "YOU ARE SUCH A PIG"!

I had to laugh out loud when I read the OP. What a silly question. Just proves you don't know me! :D I guess the first people I ever generated a real rage in were my parents. I wasn't evil or criminal but I was....mischievous....Playful.....and highly energetic.

As far as women go I'll start with my girlfriend when I was 17. we were sitting in the cafeteria one morning having our daily ice cream cones before home room and I pushed her hot button. Don't remember by now what I said or did but her response was drastic and she didn't keep me waiting. She pushed her ice cream cone in my face and stomped out. As it turns out this is one way a woman can tell you good bye. I saw her at our 10 years high school reunion and she was STILL mad at me. Prolly better off away from a woman like that.

I have been working on my ability to get on peoples nerves for decades and by now I'm pretty good at it. And to make it worse the older I get the less I care about what other people say or think about me.

I typically piss off several people a week. It's usually when I slap the handcuffs on and tell them they're under arrest. Some folks jut don't take that news well!
