Why do people are such stupid?

Yesterday at English class...

We had a dictant. At the end of dictant teacher took our paper and gave to next student and vice versa to check typos.

I got the paper of a girl student. There was this sentence: "Now most US people eat chicken, turkey and vegetables". She wrote turkey as Turkey which means country. I changed it to small "t" and wrote underneath "Country cannot be eaten" as a matter of joke. It was a joke but it was true too.

She says: "Why do you write this stupid thing there?". I say "It's just a joke". She says "A person who didn't do joke so far will start joking now?".

Ahem...

WTF? I WAS JUST A JOKE!! Why to BS like that?

What do you people think?

Also I do not joke among them because of such DUMBA $ $ E $ you know?

I felt quite uneasy there. I didn't wanted to say rude things (and I wished to do that badly), but somehow my education of being "civilised" stopped me doing so. What were you do if you were me?

Same?

or

BLOOD?

Haffo, it would be a lot worse to be her.

"If I notice that typo, me, myself would have just underline it. If she would have ask why, then I would have said Turkey with a capital T is a Country, If she would got mad then I would started to laugh at her, because she sound really mad plus stupid."

Being precuasitive is really sucks. This is not me. I want to make jokes even if I don't know about joking style of that person. This is what am I. However I see that some people can't take a little joke and become upset. This shouldn't stop making me what am I. This is not right. I guess this is like Russian rulet. You either shot the right person or not. Some people do get the joke some are not. Who cannot take the joke, this is their problem. Not mine. I think this is what is the right thing to do. I think my problem here is actually taking such people seriously. I do change my behaviour according to that. That is wrong. Knowing that I do joke and nothing more is giving driving force towards people. This is what is important.

What are you thinking now about her,well there ya go as the possibility of what she may be thinking you think maybe and she yeah could've been insulted by it.If you try to joke and they miss it can't really hold it against them,they may just not be in the right frame of mind for seeing it as a joke,she may have been having a bad day,you never know what it is unless you clear it up that it was just a joke.Not only so you don't have to get confused,angry or whatever but to also let her know that she wasn't being insulted.Me thinky the both of you took things a bit too seriously and is sensitive regarding it as to the reactions is all.Maybe alittle talking could work with this one.

I told her that it was a joke. Instead of shutting up she insulted me by telling "The person who do not joke will joke now?". Why should I gave her another chance? She splatted the chance back to my face.

It wasnt even funny.

I agree with Mr.C.

Ah,she took you seriously because you are always serious,you know her side of it then already if you choose to use it.Why you should give her another chance because insulting her wasn't the intention so if you apologize for it and she still doesn't take it then it's on her than yes.Also have you reacted similar to her towards her before,like reverse the situation?What do you think may be the reason for it without her being stupid okay,theres always reasons?Seems kinda like theres more to it than just that on her side.

I never talked to her before.

She chose to insult me because I just was quiet in the class. She probably felt superior.

"you know her side of it then already if you choose to use it."

What does that mean now?

That she views you as always serious so wasn't sure about whether it was or not.

It wasn't like that Tiamat I can guarantee you. It was in a making fun of you mode. Face expression, voice tone, gestures...I can't be wrong.

She also told me to do not make such stupid jokes with her.

Honestly it wasn't that funny so you do have a dry sense of humor.She has a point but could've done it so you'd get what she was saying better but stop worrying about it if that's the case.But of course gotta tell ya it doesn't mean she's stupid either for not finding it funny.Different sense of humors seems to be the differance here and moodswings.

Tiamat

Tell me please. What does mean "The person who didn't make joke until now, will start making joke now?". Don't you see an insult here? It means something like that: "You weren't joking so far, so shut up". What business do she has with when I make a joke and when do not? She should be worried about the interior about the joke not about how I behave. It's same with saying me what to do. Do you see that part? What if I deliberately don't make any joke? Does that makes me the person who doesn't have right to a joke? Who the hell she is to tell me what to do?

I think haffo loves her.

Hell NO Crabby.

She is married and pregnant!!

But I got your joke.

Aren't you backing up branh on people should be allowed to say whatever it is they want to no matter how offensive.No,your not going to get me to agree that some person I don't know is just stupid because she snapped at you and she's pregnant-hormones it means it's most likely a definate moodswing.What business do you have to think she shouldn't have reacted that way when you don't know what she was thinking or if she was thinking?In short I think your overreacting about this.You had a spat with a moody person a pregnant lady at that so your spending your weekend being pissed about it,she's not a friend of yours so you've lost nothing so you can mentally tell her to fcuk off too and not try to talk to again in a friendly manner anymore and just ignore her.I think this is something that I wouldn't let bother me if I was in it and think it may be just that your more insulted than anything else by it.Go make a rant topic about it if thats what you would prefer.

I didn't say offencive speech should be allowed. I disagreed with P.C. because it limits expressing problems, not because he doesn't allow free speech. Of course she allowed to say anything she want, but not allowed to seek my attention for the second time.

I already told her mentally to fck off because I knew what she ment there. I just shared this with you because I wanted to know other points of view.

"Go make a rant topic about it if thats what you would prefer."

What do you mean by that?

I mean like some of beautiful scorpios topics and one of aries beauty's topics.The b/tch about it and get it all out to make yourself feel better and the rest of us basically read and laugh at,b/tching topic basically.

Tiamat

What are you talking about? You do place my topics in same category as BS has?

No just an idea.

"How dare you insult me like that."

What the hell are you talking about? I ment not you by saying she, I was pointing to student girl. Doh...

Tiamat

I cannot understand you text. You write sentences in such distracted form that I have to gues sometimes what you might mean. Please reword your text where you talking about bran0913.

No problem....

I was refering to the rant question with that last post,doh.As far as the branh thing goes it's a version of expressing herself,she probably seen a problem somewhere in it and responded rudely.Thats up to you if you wanna know what it is,nobody else here knows this lady to find out for you type thing.

I think she simply lacks some sence of humour. There are alot of them like that here. She simply has so miserably life, that there is no even place for joke in it. Thats all.

You were given a paper to check typos, not comment on typos....so in the strictest sense you over stepped your bounds.
If you added an indicator of humour, graphic or otherwise...maybe the joke would have been clear....

A fellow student is a peer and unless you have a clear comfort zone with them..an unclear comment is not appropriate..

Also..to speak demaeningly of one who did not understand you humour is unkind.

You formed the debate Haffo...we are just forwarding our opinions.

I couldn't stop laughing when i read this. I'm sorry, but it's so funny.

Kupo

What's so funny?

Yeah,are you saying im cheesy or somethin??😢

I was only laughing at the very first post. I stopped reading after that b/c it was 3 pages worth of posts and I didn't have the time. But, the first post was very humourous, for me anyways...

I wasn't laughing at you Tiamat, I luv you 😉.

"so in the strictest sense you over stepped your bounds."

We were stundents in that class. We do make jokes to each other. I don't think I overstepped my well-mannered behaviours. I don't throw jokes to people that I have nothing to do. In my case, we were in the same class. What she did was very rude and very probable she has impaired sence of humour. Probably shy too. Well she suck as a student too.

Why are some people so stupid?

I just had to do it.

"stundents'—??

Haffo...love...my point exactly....you are not required to comment on typo's ..only make note of them...
You exceeded the requirements by choice...fired the first shot, and then whine when someone fired back...
Not good form ,son...not kind, not smart, not savvy...
Be a big boy and take your licks....you were the one who brought up the topic....

He was funny, she's a cunt, end of discussion.

Maybe I stepped my border somewhat. You right I wasn't being asked to comment about mistakes. But that doesn't change the fact that she is just a piece of sh!t. Also if you take life from your point of view, then no one should joke to anyone. Because it is not something that people ask you to do them. I never heard anyone who say "Ok you are not allowed to joke with me now, here is my sign on the paper". Do you understand that?

doh...

You are now allowed to joke with me now...

People should be open to others. You simply can't put people behaviours on such strict rules. Then we are not humans anymore. We are machines. You can't live like that. There are things in the world that is not bound to the rules.

Does that mean we can start calling you whatever we want in jest?

What?

What I'm saying- people joke with you.. you don't always see the humor- and you say, "don't say such things to me.." or you'll get upset. Are you stupid because you didn't find them funny? Should you accept whatever it is people say to you? Should you shrug things off just because someone was joking- and never mind that you were offended?...

Because that's essentially what you're saying about this woman. You joked, she didn't get it..and said, "don't do that.." and because of this-- she's stupid. Instead she needs to open up her mind.

I mean, if this is what you're saying.. you should start by leading by example, no?

She is stil stupid.

Let me explain it to you.

When I joke to someone in real life, I smile them. That signs that I am joking. If you turn back and tell something that she did, this is rude.

When I joke to someone in this board, I put smile just like this one -> 🙂 Which means I joke. There may be some posts where I didn't put those smiles. But what can I do, we are humans, we do mistakes.

That's a nice explanation that neither yeilded a point nor addressed my questions.

I smiled to her, when she noticed the note. Then she BS'ed. This is rude.

Haf...
You are welcome to your opinion as to this young woman's personality...
You started the issue though...and then you judged her when she retaliated...
That's very childish..
The best fun and the best jokes happen when everyone is on the same page.
Aside from that lovey...you are building up a whack of bad karma when you snipe at someone and then call them names...
It all comes around...
Take care ..
Sam

Haffo...

This topic is funny to me because when Q Bone called you "Hafool" I thought it was the funniest thing in the world, but you were so offended that you just about cried.

Now...does that make you stupid because you didn't see the jest behind it or does that make me insensitive for repeating something or saying something that is so offensive to you?

Hmmmm....Stupid fish logic (as Q would say)

FURTHERMORE

As many grammatical errors that YOU make...you shouldn't be making jokes about ANYONE! Case in point...the topic name

"Why do people are such stupid?" This is not a real phrase in English, but you don't see us laughing at your expense do you?

Hmmmm....
