Too good a life? I don't hear people being offended much when they have shit to worry about, like not losing one's job or risk being evicted for not paying in time. Have you tried explaining the situation to the HR personnel? Are they this dumb in reality? It's hard to believe.Oh, and a good number of people in the US seem to take pleasure in being offended by things. Even when something shouldn't be offensive to them, they will take it as a personal attack.
I don't think that's entirely it though, but I don't have much to back that up. Oh yeah, I explained inside and out what was going on and tried explaining the context in which I was upset enough to say what I said (Not to mention I was working in a kitchen, where even my boss would use that kind of language regularly). But to HR, all that mattered was that I had told someone to fuck off and that person had come to them about it.Too good a life?
