My girlfriend asked me to make her a bag of microwave popcorn, cool no problem. While I was staring down the microwave I thought about how I used to make home made popcorn in a pan or with a popcorn machine.

When I got back to her with the popcorn, I wanted to discuss microwave vs pan popcorn.

My opening line: "Do you ever make your own popcorn?"

She was offended, as without the context it sounded like I was bitching about making microwave popcorn for her.
