Offending people

Greetings. As I said upon a different Thread, I, personally, seem to "offend" some people simply by EXISTING. I attempt here, an example of some significance in my life, which I have always wanted to say to other people, just to find out reaction to the event. It sort of also relates to "graduation", certainly to schooling, and certainly to "offending people".

In secondary school, I was as if not allowed to complete one of my "A-Levels". At the end of the school year, I was one day invited into the head-mistress' office, where she fumbled successfully through reasons to expell me from the school. I asked her for any reasons why, and they were as follows:
1 - 'You fell behind in your work!'
My answer - 'I recently contracted pneumonia, as you know, and I have since made up for the work which I missed.'
2 - 'You are rude, and you STARE at the teachers, including at me right now!'
My answer - (I immediately break "eye contact", to begin upon the technique I know for "not staring") 'I look at you, Miss, as you look at me. Isn't it seen as rude to never look at people when you are talking to them?'
3 - (After a minute or so) '...You are flaring your nostrils at me!!'
My answer - (...I am, and to this very day, *still* utterly astonished at this given reason. Thus, I can only sit there, absolutely flummoxed, confused, and dumbfounded...) ....!

End. If anyone finds this post to be silly or unbelievable... then that means that you have indeed fully understood it. All of it is true. And it is NOT FAIR. Yet it took me thirty years, perhaps, to understand the *real* (unsaid) reasons for my being "let go"... But I wait to see if anyone here also cares or understands..?
That is all for now.

This Post is written for the sake of common courtesy, to extend a great "Thank You" to those who replied (DeepThought and Blue Ray)...
My initial thought, upon seeing replies (*from real people!?!*) was:
"VIN
DI
CA
TION!!!"
... and I can see how this "Internet" business has its appeal. But I still cannot do "live chat", or E-Mail, or even "Private-Message", and this whole business still makes me as hesitant and nervous as when speaking face-to-face...
Yet I post this as a genuine Thank You; and in closing, I add that I eventually figured that the REAL reason for my pseudo-expulsion from school... was due to reasons nothing-more-or-less than the fact that I had just turned Sixteen, and so they were no longer Legally Obliged to "put up with me" anymore...(!). End of Post.

I am also utterly astonished at their given reasons and I too feel that I annoy people, just by my very existence. My head teacher expelled me because he said not only did I think I owned the school, but that I believed it, because I was confused and asking, if I didn’t do what ‘I’ wanted, what do I do, should I do what he wanted, the head teacher, or one of the other teachers. They were all telling me to do different things  and nobody seemed to know what they were doing.

'Yes, it demonstrates respiratory distress on my part as a student, and inappropriate guardianship on your part as a headteacher.'
