    You certainly have the right to complain; but the one you’re whining to also has the right to tell you to fuck off.

    You’re free to adhere to whatever rules you’d like, but imposing your preferences on others is going to be met with resistance, so if you hear some stranger say something you find offensive, maybe just mind your own business?
