Pull My Finger !

I have taken to putting a sarcasm alert on FB posts anymore, since I have set people off but putting sarcastic posts on political memes and being attacked by the people who should have been most amused, at least I thought so. Even people I know, who should know better have been confused. Is this a sign of great sarcasm or just not knowing my audience?

Aaaaah, but you make up for the rest of us !!!!!!! LOL.

Yes...
It is a wonderful talent.

In Toronto sarcasm is a big part of communication. Although living out west much less so.

Where is that dislike button a lady was asking about and begging for? How do we know is not your husband at the keyboard? Here I helped you out I added the #sarcasm tag.

Me? Never!

Sarcasm? The mirror always reveals a reflection.

My family, me sarcastic phuckers all of us....

Hay, I resemble that.

I can be extremely sarcastic, and so must careful in its use. I have sent people into screaming rages when I get on a tear.

My cousin's children met my entire family (my siblings and their kids) for the first time. Their comment "OMG these are our people!". They'd never known people who gave and received sarcasm with so little confusion!

Hmmm.... I don't think i can handle sarcasm very well and I'm probably more sarcastic then most. It reminds me of tit for tat and how we tend to.snap back with an answer and not rethink what we're going to say.

No way?!!!

I am very sarcastic, and always enjoy when it is returned

@Silvereyes I have a sarcastic sense of humor as well. No problem.

Are you kidding?! I come from a family of 7 kids and bantering and sarcasm were how we showed we cared. That left me for a while but it has recently resurfaced with a friend who I work with a lot. We are like Laurel and Hardy (I'm, Laurel and he's Hardy). I have found that bantering/sarcasm are in my blood and we often put on a show for others. Once were told we should do a skit. He said yes and call it the Jack and nick show and I replied "I see I get top billing".

I spent my formative years in the rural South in the early 1950s where sarcasm was virtually unknown. People were direct, and simple and sincere. When my Dad got a job in the aero-space industry and we moved to the big (not) city, I was thrown in with fast-talking Yankee types who were fully fluent in Sarcasm. It suited my, by then, teenage smartassity, so I ran with it, but I have always found it to be a second language, which takes extra processing energy, and I can easily miss the cues. Now that I have retired back to the country life, I find that many of my neighbors who never left the farm still speak in disarmingly earnest tones. It may just be laziness on my part but it is comforting to be back among people who just say what they mean; no translation required.

yes love a bit of sarcasm

Can I handle sarcasm? No no, of course not. Like I'm not even sarcastic at all. Look at me not handling sarcasm over here. Pffffttt

Well, I like to think I have enough for a small group. And if that's not enough, most of the voices in my head can be pretty snarky at well. But I like to keep most of them sedated: vodka. Otherwise they'd be up in my grill arguing all night long.

I think it is more just that sarcasm doesn't really come across well, when using just text. Without vocal intonations and facial expressions, sarcasm really doesn't work well in a text format unless the person reading has known you for a long time and would know when you are being sarcastic because they know you so well.

Perhaps you too shoudl obby for there beign video chat added when they add the chat feature on this site. Sarcasm woudl work so much better in tht kind of forum.

Some people can't handle my sarcasm. They take offense.

Yes and yes.

Sarcasm is the work of the Devil. (he said sarcastically)
