Indeed, some people seem to thrive on being angered by others. On a fairly frequent basis, I've come to someone's defense and aid, only for that person to turn on me over some perceived insult.

"No ma'am, I'm not trying to impress you to get into your pants, just wanted to help deal with those foul mouthed jackanapes.
