I thought I would bring up a topic about "Sarcasm". I am curious on your thoughts about sarcasm.
Do you feel discomfort most of the time when you are the listener and feel fine when you are the giver? Do you find it to be disrespectful or funny?
I was reading a topic about it. They also had done a survey on males and females and their thoughts and feelings upon it. Here is the link:
SARCASM IN RELATIONSHIPS
I myself find it to be disrespectful most of the time; so I choose to not use it unless I know that they don't want to hurt me or others. I know quite a few people who receive it just fine. I'm a person who prefers to hear comments direct and honestly I don't like the feelings of sarcasm. Considering I know several guys at work who use it jokingly towards this lady who does the dishes there and she happens to have some disability (I believe she is autistic). She thinks they are serious and which of course they are not and laugh about it. I feel irritated when I see that happen to her. They even talk behind her back about flaws she has; which she gets water everywhere. She does put up wet signs and they know better to watch out for water when she is working.
It mostly depends upon who it is too because I know when others are serious most of the time and when others are not.
