They can't take a joke or see humor hardly in anything, easily and sometimes beyond ready to be offended at the slightest things in general. It's frustrating.
What causes people to be so rigid and uptight?

a lot of people have been hurt, betrayed and used. So they are cautious as to who they trust and open up to. After going through years of been hurt and abused, people can become uptight. Or another reason can be for a person being uptight is that they can not see themselves in your shoes.

It depends what you mean by that. Do you mean they go off on jokes about race, or just don't like jokes? The former is simply being very far into the Authoritarian Left side of the political compass. The latter is... I have no idea. Probably a psychological problem.

Because a lot of people are stupid enough to take everything personally. They see a sexist, racist or offensive joke and assume it's their obligation to stand up and make an ass out of themselves. What they don't realize is if they do that every chance they get they'll never have friends to brag to about how heroic they are.

I'm not sure, but I think in some cases at least, it has to do with the amount of things people have to deal with on a daily basis, I remember my last years of college, working two jobs also, I barely got any sleep, I'm not saying I was the only one, but worrying so much every day about responsibilities and money and Debts, Made me quite bitter, you couldn't even talk to me back then, although that might not be the case for everyone, at least some people just have too much on their plate

It's the political correctness of our society. Everyone gets a trophy; so, no one gets his or her feelings hurt.

Maybe because people dont mind how they tell a yoke, or dont mind time, place or situation, type of person etc... jokes are supposed to be funny and pleasant.

PC culture ruined everything you can't tell a joke without people getting offended. It's bullshit.
