Can’t believe how ungrateful my dwarf next-door neighbor is. I saw him waiting at the bus stop earlier today and offered to give him a lift, but he told me to “fuck off.” In the end, I decided to just close my rucksack and walk away.
The Ungrateful Dwarf

The humor comes from the misunderstanding of the phrase "give him a lift." The narrator is referring to a literal lift, meaning picking up the dwarf to give him a ride, while the neighbor most likely understood the phrase as giving him a ride in a vehicle. The dwarf's height makes the offer sound like a literal physical lift, which would be insulting.
