Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, it's a free country, isn't it?
I almost start to feel sorry for this person, then he comes out with another of his stupid, sarcastic jokes, and I lose all sympathy for him. I just wish he'd go away, but I don't think he ever will.
Sorry for the rant. I realize it doesn't have much to do with this forum, but I thought I'd post anyway. If you can offer any advice -- without making a joke out of it, that is -- I'd appreciate it.

You sound like me in some ways. I hate it when people saying or doing something which is inappropriate. But as for me, when I feel irritated, I personally don’t think that it’s other’s problem, no, the problem is within me. We can’t change people, we can’t change the world. Yes, like MusicLover said, we can talk to that person gently, but that is all we can do. We cannot force our opinion to others, as it might be different with their opinion. What we find annoying might be fun for some people. And there is nothing wrong with that as long as it’s not against the law. So what I would do in your situation is learning some self control, don’t let others behavior ruins your day. I am now trying to learn Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and it helps me so far, though I find it’s not an easy thing to do.
