"you offended me!"

 “you offended me!” [1]
by insome kinda pain
 
it seems i got offended, but (to take the blame off me)…
let’s call the roles reversed as i say: “you offended me!”

·       “you offended me!” takes absolutely no responsibility for itself.
 
when one digs (even a tiny bit) deeper, however, it becomes obvious that the offended is (really) saying much more about himself than he is about the offender.
 
in most cases, ann landers had it right: “no one can take advantage of you without your permission.”
