Being mistaken for being sarcastic

[Quantess]

Anyone else have that problem?

No matter how hard you try to convince them you truly mean it, your previous sarcastic efforts remain like an aftertaste in the mind of the reader.

1. I'm the one who usually MISSES the sarcasm!

:rofl:

[Skittles]

2. you want I should kick your sarcastic-mistaken ass, Quantess?

LEMME AT YOU

3. Mr. Brickbat often has that problem.

He says exactly what is on his mind in a reasonable tone, and for some reason people try to look for his hidden agenda. It's caused problems more than once.

4. That is I... Queen of the aftertaste

Somehow that doesn't sound right.

7. I have that problem with my youngest daughter.

I'm so sarcastic with her that it's hard to scold her when I'm serious. I'll be in the middle of a raised-voice lecture, and she'll start smirking. Which makes me smirk... :rofl:

15. Hmm. No surprise. Nobody takes you seriously here either.

PFFFFFFT...Btw..It wasn't a fumble!!!111!!!!:P

[jobycom]

16. Pfft. Was too a fumble.

:rofl:

8. I have the opposite problem - being sarcastic, but people think I'm serious

Yikes!

[rucky]

10. That's way more fun.

[rebel with a cause]

13. You and me too.

But now I have the same problem with my kids, meaning that I sometimes take them serious when they are being sarcastic. I blame it on my illness and the drugs I have to take. But I am getting better at not getting my feeling hurt as much and laughing it off.

9. I don't appreciate your sarcasm!

:evilgrin:

[Chan790]

11. Yes...

after 12 years of being a sarcastic ass to my friends because I was unhappy with life...now that I've found peace I can't get anybody to believe that I am being serious when I state needs and desires in a straightforward manner.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Like that would ever happen to me.

I mean, no, it hasn't happened to me yet. Really.

14. *snort*
