You're not the only ******* person who can be peeved by minor indiscretion; sometimes the flailing you do disrupts others in ways.
Perhaps you feel vindictively justified, but perhaps you just crucified that image of you that they held in their head because what you do can speak louder than what you say, and what you say can be a sign of why you do what you do, and how and when, too.
This is about no singular person. It is an expression of a situation that can arise anywhere with nearly anyone at any time.
