Someone at the workplace made some crack about going to pee off the last coffee he'd had, and that bothered me in no fashion. Someone else was griping about her financial situation and the effect it was having on her life, rightfully given that her pay was late, but it offended me - despite there being no vulgarity or crudeness involved - because she was, in my estimation of human behaviour, degrading herself. I was embarassed for her. She sounded crass, boorish, and without a sense of propriety. I wouldn't openly abase myself by admitting such personal embarassments in front of strangers.
