But I'll answer. No, people can be offended and should speak up when they do.

BUT nowadays it's all the rage to be offended about every little thing. Which is kind of insulting to the actual offensive things that matter.

It was meant more as cheeky than ironic

BUT that begs the question, who then decides what is and what isn't offensive. Sure there's the obvious things we could list that of course are terrible, but with what you would consider the little things, everyone has different thresholds, and isn't that just part of being human? Sure there will always be people who complain about things and I'll think "get over it!" coz I don't get offended easily, or there'll be people who jump on bandwagons but I fear that if everyone took your attitude it would ostrasize a lot of people who are essentially just expressing how they feel and I don't like that. I think we need people who are going to push boundaries and offend, and we also need people who are prepared to push back at it and have their opinions heard, that's true freedom of speech for everyone, right?
