Jesus christ. It's a ****ing finger. If you actually care about whether someone points with a finger or with an open hand, you must be a horribly boring person.
GTFO. You must find literally everything offensive.
Well, your post is offensive, but we'll get to that later.
We're talking about manners here. And some of us were raised in a way that how we act towards others matters, beyond just whether we intentionally cause them harm. I mean, we can all agree that we shouldn't shoot other people, or cut them with knives, or punch them. What about other things that don't cause physical injury?
By the standards of your post, is everything else okay?
If I call someone a "racially offensive" word that's cool, isn't it? "Oh my god, the horror of being called a word! I should just kill myself!" Right?
What if I spit on someone? It's not like I'm carrying some disease. I mean, I kiss my girlfriend and she likes it. And I've probably shared a drink from the same glass or bottle with a friend at some point. They didn't mind. So let's add that to the list. "Oh my god, the horror of someone else's saliva on my face! I should just kill myself!"
What if a customer asks me a stupid question and I just look at them and say, "You're an idiot" as I dramatically roll my eyes. Is that offensive?
What if I simply raise my voice several octaves when I address a player?
"HEY BUDDY, IT'S ON YOU! CHECK OR BET" No harm there, right?
Would any of these things offend you? Or if "offend" is too strong a word, would they rub you the wrong way? If so, what's the difference between those and someone pointing their finger in your face, other than degrees of offensiveness?
