“You can’t guarantee things like that. You never know what people will choose to be offended by.”

Simplified Meaning:
You can never be sure about how people will react to what you say or do. Different people have different feelings and beliefs. For example, imagine you tell a friend that their new haircut looks interesting. Even though you meant it in a nice way, they might think you don’t like it and feel hurt. People see things from their own point of view, and what seems fine to you may upset someone else. This means we should try to be thoughtful and kind in our words and actions but understand that we can't make everyone happy all the time. It's not always possible to predict what will bother someone, so it's important to be open to feedback and willing to learn from these situations.
