sarcasm!

I'm not a confrontational person so if someone at work were to criticize me, it will depend on who he/she is. If it's my boss then I'll just accept his/her criticism but if it's a close friend then I will just joke with him/her and criticize him back. Again it depends on how serious the criticism is.

I live in a family and have friends who all can be very sarcastic this includes my youngest two. We are used to it, we do see the humour in it as well and do have a lot of fun about it. If it comes to my partner he is not that way I even think he is not able to understand it. How he behaves at work is not up to may. It's his decision not mine so I would never tell him or my children or friends to behave different.

I hate sarcasm. I guess I can't tolerate a sarcastic colleague that much. I will do my best to avoid having an argument due to his or her sarcasm but if he or she is getting of my nerves then that's the best time to face him or her and I will tell him or her that I don't like sarcasm. Some people are really sarcastic. I don't know why they are being sarcastic. I guess they enjoy seeing people getting pissed.

I think i would speak to him (or her) about his sarcasm and how I feel about it, pointing out to him that it's affecting my work. And since he's my partner, then whatever project or task we're working on would be affected as well. So we both lose if he doesn't stop being sarcastic.

well in that case, i would really confront him about it.. i can't get through the day if there's someone bugging in my mind.. what do you think my friend? can you do it?^_^

If I were you my friend, let her talk much. If she is really insensitive, then it is better to call her attention. He or she is not only have brilliant ideas.

why not.. if it is this person style? just a naughty thought, how about giving him his a dose of his own medicine one time. I mean, be sarcastic to him also. I don't think confrontation will do good, because he will just be sarcastic during the confrontation. How about silent treatment? Just don't mind the person. or what his suggestions are. Have you considered that this person might just be joking and being sarcastic is just part of his joke? have you considered that this person might just need attention?

Sometimes a little humor goes a lot way. You can, in a joking way, put your hand up and say, 'talk to the hand'. You can't change him for his sake, unless he wants to change. But you don't have to put up with it either. You can say, 'let's have some professional opinions'. If you confront him directly, you could make it worse for yourself. I would first try a little humor.
