Just a general thought, why is it that when someone does or says something another person doesn’t like, especially if it is someone with authority yelling at someone under them, they get mad at the person for giving an excuse after asking the person why he or she did or said something that wasn’t liked? I understand that there is really no good excuse for any poor behavior, but at the same time, I always thought if someone does not want to hear a reason or an excuse, they shouldn’t ask and then get mad afterwards.

Is this just some form of power control? Is there another reason some people do this? Like I mentioned, there is absolutely no excuse for poor behavior or just something that may not have exactly been bad, but just something someone else did not like. None whatsoever, even if the person has a disability or something. But at the same time, I feel like if they ask for a reason, they should expect some form of response. I always felt like giving a reason and giving an excuse are two seperate things. What are your thoughts? Just wondered.
