'Bro, the party is at the mall. Why are you still at the park?'

'It’s not my fault. You just didn’t explain it right.'
'Why are you even arguing with me? I’m the one who’s right.'

The act of not getting it and then acting like it’s a personal attack
'You didn’t even try to explain it. Why would I get it?'
'I didn’t get the joke. Why are you laughing at me?'
'You called me out in front of everyone. That’s not fair.'
