Humorously speaking, what are some statements you would consider to be fighting words if someone said them to you? It would have to be something specific to you and your life’s circumstances. For instance, you love coffee, and someone says, “You’re just going to have to start doing without coffee every morning; I’ll help you by making sure none ever gets to you.”
Examples from the Randy D perspective:
“Oh, you’re going to eat this avocado and mayonnaise casserole topped with a caramelized Vegemite glaze, or I’m going to force-feed it to you!”
“But I don’t want to make sandwiches any more, and I’m sick of this basement! Get out of my way, I’m going home!”
“Tilde-collecting? Is that a real thing? Come on, only a true nutcase . . . ”
“Listen, pal, I don’t care how far you traveled to get here to Minnesota, I don’t care how many of her restraining orders you’ve ignored in the past; I’ve been hired to make sure that you don’t knock on her door, and you’re not getting through me!”
“I’m Canadian, and I’ll use as many or as few commas as I want to, whether they’re in the right place or not! Besides, that badge of yours isn’t even valid here in Canada!”

“Manipulate”? Who me? Sweet little innocent ol’ me? I’m shocked at you! I would never use a person’s soft spot to garner favor for myself!

My question is about the answers that others have about their own experiences or ideas. Yes, I gave examples to illustrate my own, but the floor is open for others to do their own. You know that, you’re just being obtuse.
