Most of the time I piss around but sometimes I worry that people don't get I'm joking and just think I'm being a ****.

Can you tell if members are pissing around, as I find it hard to tell with some sometimes.

I find it difficult to tell with some members and worry a lot that members don't realise I'm joking too.

Thats why I made a thread just like this :idc:

I just take everyone as being a ****. Then I can weed out who's good and who's not :idc:

You normally come across as a right prick, good to know that most of it's a joke after all this time :idc:

I think I can mostly see when someone's joking. I can also see when someone's being insulting and disguising it with humour.

No, I cannot and really that is my problem.
I have difficulty assessing the tone or intent behind some posts and I admit I am not really a humerous person anyway so I likely do take things sometimes too seriously if things are directed towards me.

I am trying and getting better but no is the answer in the main.

A lot of the time you're an asshole Ben so it's really difficult to tell when you are joking with us or not

Usually but not always, it's hard sometimes without facial expressions or tone of voice to go by

Benjamin

I can be quite an asshole in real life. I told my manager to get over himself today followed by telling him he was useless and hadn't a clue how to run a business. I've been back in this job for a week.

Rest your head in Lee's bosoms. That'll ease the pain.

Benjamin
19-05-2013, 09:28 PM

That's because you don't have a sense of humour. You need one in order to find things funny. ;)

I like to presume the best in people so normally trust that they are joking instead of just being a dickhead or are really stupid

When people post that they joking, that kinda gives it away.

Shaun

every post around here seems to be a joke lately... usually a really predictable one pretending to have an argument, or some toilet humour, or double entendres.

Not much wit out there :(

Kizzy
19-05-2013, 10:47 PM
I try to have a laugh, but there is always some bright spark who twists it to sound as if I'm having a dig.
Should I post :joker: to denote everytime I'm making a funny?

Glenn.
19-05-2013, 10:49 PM
mtvn , gg and ben, are lovely people in my opinion

You forgot me on that list :idc:

I'm lovely too you know.


I can tell when someone's joking.

I was joking in a thread a few weeks back and Marc give me a warning for it so I don't think he can tell :idc:

And like Livia said, I know when people are insulting people and dressing it up as a joke. One or two members are pros at it.

Kizzy
