How have you mistakenly offended people recently?

People are fucking retarded when I comes to making comments about people's weight. They say things that they think are innocuous but are actually pretty painful insults.

Apparently while trying to help my girlfriend up today I ~made a face~ suggesting great strain.

lol

Haha. In Japan, it's entirely acceptable to be simply say, "you got fat." When I see my wife's family, like the first thing out of everyone's mouth is an assessment of weight gain or loss since the last meeting. This is totally normal. People seem fine with this kind of talk, but it often makes me cringe.
