3lilreds in NC Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Me! Oh, my goodness. When I'm here, I have to remember that no one knows me IRL so I try to be very nice and careful of what I say. There are few people I do know IRL who are blessed with the full-on force of my sarcasm and funky humor. I don't want to scare them. :D I love it when I find someone to laugh with me! I had a friend in college that was my kindred spirit and she and I laughed constantly. I recently learned that we're in the same time zone again so I need to call her.

Mimm Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Yes. It's the main reason I post here so little. I'm also quiet in public gatherings until I can slowly acclimate people to my snarky sense of humor. :) The funny thing is that my family knows me very well and after ten years of marriage, my husband's sarcasm detection is incredible. I was having dinner one time with my husband, three brothers, my sister and her new boyfriend. It was his first time meeting my sister's family and I made some comment to him in the conversation which was rather subtle and he was the only one who didn't laugh and tried to answer me seriously. Poor guy. :) Edited March 8, 2011 by Mimm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dulcimeramy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Does anyone else think this board might be a teeny bit more fun if we all didn't practice such saintly restraint? Or would that kill the Hive Mind entirely. Not content to be merely threadkillers, we'd probably be like RAID. Accidentally shutting down all topics except for the weather, not realizing that our dark sarcasm and subtle humor had gotten entirely out of hand.

littlebug42 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I definitely bite my tongue here on this board. There are far too many people here that don't take it well.

LaissezFaire Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I will tell you all a secret. Usually when I read a thread title I reply in my head with what I'd really like to say and then speculate what the replies would be. It's my dark humor I guess.
