On Being Made Fun Of

I am a very sarcastic person and usually respond with something just as biting.

there are a few ways i deal with this, 1 the same as you because some other poor sod is being left alone, 2 make fun of them right back (i can be very quick witted at times and turn the conversation on them!!) 3. Join in and make fun of myself (This really confuses them and they dont know what to say!!)

I'm with you...they're leaving someone else alone when they pick on me. I never let it bother me, just let it go. I have a pretty thick skin when it comes to someone making fun of me, but I usually don't like it when someone makes fun of a friend or family member (especially ones with physical problems). I'll just say something like "That sure wasn't a very nice thing to say". And you have to laugh to keep from crying a lot of times, but it's much more fun to laugh, whether it's at yourself or something else.

I think it depends if you've got a sense of humour.In this day and age,you need broad shoulders for what people are saying and doing. I tend to let things slide,until i've had enough,then i retaliate.

If you let them push you buttons they will do it everytime they are around you just smile and say wow I didn't know you cared so much to be a true friend and speak up about my faults thank you It gets them everytime

I do make fun of my friends etc. but it's not in a nasty way and they know it. They give it right back and it's fine. It's just the way my humour is and it makes them laugh/smile..:) I do know though that some people can take it too far but I don't think I do.

i seem to offend ppl but it is just my personality. i like to "bust balls" and some ppl think im being serrious but im just playing around. Plus it s a good way to get everything in your mind out in the open. When someone ;busts balls with me i usually get them right back or just go ha ha ha ha sarcasticly. i think it s just plain fun.

I used to get made fun of a lot. People used to always laugh and make jokes about me. Now that I am older, I do not care. I just tell people to go to Hell or go screw themselves. Frankly, I do not care what people think about me anymore. I just do not care.

I don't know - this is a hard one because for some things I would let it slide and laugh it off. But other things I'm more sensitive about and they're my "hot buttons". For those things I would tend to get angry and let the person know it.

I feel if you cannot Laugh at yourself. You shouldn't make fun of anyone else. My circle of friends constantly tease me. And I return it. We have a great time. I know I don't go to far. Because when I do getogther with my friends they always say " I miss UncleBill time"

I'm like you...if they're pokin fun at me they're letting some else rest...I learned a long time ago to not let it get to me ..I just try to have fun with it

Sometimes I will play along if it is all in fun. At the office everyone gets made fun of, but sometimes feelings get hurt. I try not to make fun of people too much because I'd feel bad if I hurt anyone.

if i just feel that i have been hurt much, then i would just say enough is enough.

It really depends on how you deliver the joke in not aiming some person. And you will know if such joke would be fun for some and not for others. If they are used to your jokes then it would just be fine. =)

If someone makes a joke that is directed towards me....I will laugh and give it back at them double. At 49, I have reached the age where I don't give a flying fig and will say what is on my mind. I approach life with humor. Laughter is the best medicine.

If a good friend is just playing, I will usually laugh with them...but if it is something hurtful, or meant to hurt, I will not react/respond at all. I think that a lack of response sends a huge message.

Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid-terms--so much so that going into the final, they each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals week, despite the Chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the Uuniversity of Virginina to party with some friends. They did this and had a great time. However, with their hangovers and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virgina for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare. They couldn't fix it for a long time and were late getting back to campus. Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, elated and relieved, studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin. They looked at the first problem which was something simple about molarity and solutions; it was worth 5 points. "Cool," they thought, "this is going to be an easy final". They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words: (95 points) Which tire?

Usually if somebody is making fun of you its because they have self esteme issues themself. I dont respond. To me its not worth the stress.

I share the same philosophy, I always say to each there own, or You can say anything about me that you please I am what I am and thats something you can never be. I really don't react if they are in front of me, I might point out another negative I have that they might of missed that usually gets them to shut up.

same here...wat i do..joke here also.. Frederick II, the eighteenth-century King of Prussia, fancied himself an enlightened monarch, and in some respects he was. On one occasion he is supposed to have interested himself in conditions in the Berlin prison and was escorted through it so that he might speak to the prisoners. One after the other, the prisoners fell to their knees before him, bewailing their lot and, predictably, protesting their utter innocence of all charges that had been brought against them. Only one prisoner remained silent, and finally Frederick's curiosity was aroused. 'You,' he called. 'You there.' The prisoner looked up. 'Yes, Your Majesty?' 'Why are you here?' 'Armed robbery, Your Majesty.' 'And are you guilty?' 'Entirely guilty, Your Majesty. I richly deserve my punishment.' 2003 At this Frederick rapped his cane sharply on the ground and said, 'Warden, release this guilty wretch at once.21 jan I will not have him here in jail where by example he will corrupt all the splendid innocent people who occupy it.'
