Sarcasm

So, my fellow Virgins (and other signs, if you care to join)--we're supposedly sarcastic as all hell. How would you rate your sarcasm? Mine is through the roof, and if people don't get the message I get angry. I use sarcasm as a way to warn someone that they're annoying me, and they need to go the f.uck away before the snide remarks stop and I just start yelling at them.

Idiot co-worker comes up to me, after I heard our boss telling him he had a death in the family and has to fly out to FL to attend to it.

Co-worker: So, (boss' name) had a death in the family?
Me: Yeah. I heard him tell you that--did you not believe him?
Co-worker: Well, yeah. That's unfortunate though...was it a family member or a friend?
Me: "Death in the family" implies it is a family member, unless you were raised with different beliefs on the phrase...?
Co-worker: Well, yeah, that was a stupid question...sorry...so, he left already?
Me: Do you see his car out there? (points to empty parking spot where boss' car usually sits)
Co-worker: Well, no--I mean, did he leave to go to the funeral yet?
Me: DO YOU SEE HIS CAR OUT THERE?!
Co-worker: No, I mean, is he going to the funeral today or tomorrrow?
Me: WHY THE F.UCK WOULD HE LEAVE NOW IF HE'S FLYING OUT SOME OTHER DAY?! I KNOW YOU HEARD HIM ON THE PHONE--WE ALL DID, I HAVE WORK TO DO, GET AWAY FROM ME PLEASE!

I tried...I always try, I really do--but people think since I'm chit-chatting in any way (even if sarcastically) that it's my version of water cooler talk.

It's not.

Leave me alone.

So--how about you guys?

My scorp bestie and I will have sarcastic matches all the time, LMFAO! It usually ends with him laughing and calling me a bitch, and me laughing right back and asking aloud how in the hell I've tolerated him for so long.

I love it.

Messed up thing is that it's what comes naturally to me--I sometimes have to bite down on my tongue not to go there, especially with my boss, even though he's a sarcastic mofo himself (he's a Cancer).

Virgos have been blessed with a devastating combination of sarcasm, wit intellect and many other things so, I usually make quite a few enemies when I lay on the sarcasm however...that doesn't stop me. ;o) I do try and tone it down a bit so as to keep peace and stay on the good side of things.

I am such a 10 on the sarcasm scale.

I've learned how to mesh my sarcasm with actual humor. When I'm not necessarily close to people, my sarcasm is very light, so I still come off very amicable and funny. When people know me better, my sarcasm gets better, more witty, and a little more in your face. However, people can tell that I'm still joking. There have only been a few times where people actually took me seriously; but I always make the disclaimer that I'm rarely serious. If I'm not smiling or laughing, then that's when you really need to listen to me. Either way, I never allow my sarcasm to get out of hand or to actually make someone feel completely below me. I only do so for people I don't like, and even though, I don't care to speak to them anyway. My friends know how I am, so if I say something sarcastic and somewhat mean, they know just to shrug it off and laugh. I'm very good at sarcasm, but I twist it so that it works for me and I'm still being friendly. I can go back and forth though with the right people.

LOL! Taurus are good with sarcasm too, but they have a blunt edge to it that masks it, and just makes it come off as rude from the jump, LOL.

I have a Taurus lover that tries to get sarcastic with me all the time, but I know how to shut his ass up. I just take my tongue and...

(O_O)

...so, how's the weather by you guys?
Any plans for the weekend?

*fans self while reminiscing*

LMFAO!!!!!

pwn3d

and, bella! you bad little nymph you!

but yeah...tongue gets you almost anywhere, LOL

hehe, why thank you!

While I don't have the largest range of taurus people in my life, my brother was actually very good at sarcasm. He could throw me for loops sometimes, and I have to say I learned some of my sarcasm from him. To be fair, we both have the same humor and tactics, so it could be something we picked up together.

My other taurus friend, a girl, can be so good at sarcasm sometimes that none of us can pick up on it. Or, that could me she hasn't quite grasped it. Either way, she's very good about slipping it in there and we're left sort of confused/stunned for a moment as we try to figure out if she was serious or joking. At this point, we sort of get it because she's always very happy. She never comes off rude when she become sarcastic.

I\'m not sarcastic, i just take everything as a joke. 😄 I\'m a virgo, so it explains why i am a very positive person. 😉

I've never heard of the term "positive" when referred to a Virgo, LOL

Realist, yes
Sarcastic, yes
Bitchy, A-hole, yes
Rude, yes
Snobby, yes
Know-it-all, yes
Sexy, yes 😉

The only time I've heard "positive" refer to a Virgo was when I heard a few people term us as self-pessimists, while being positive for others (to keep their spirits up, whether we believed what we told them or not)

Interesting...

This. I find everything in life to be funny. lol

The funny thing about positivity to me is that I don't necessarily look at it as optimism all the time. I know I'm not the most optimistic person; I'd probably want to shoot myself. However, I never allow myself to be broken down to the point where I can't function (at least, not again). If I'm sad, I'm going to be sad. I'm not going to force myself to be happy. But I know I'm going to bounce back. I fight through it.If I want to cry, I allow myself to, then I move on to the next thing to keep myself going. It's not exactly positive, realistic probably, but I'm not really that pessimistic either.

That I can jive with, and agree with in terms of my attitude as well.

I stumble, but (thankfully) never fall. I won't allow it.

I love sarcasm, but I do try to tone it down a little because I have hurt peoples feelings in the past. My boyfriend (Taurus) always gets offended by my jokes he thinks i'm sooo mean lol.

Virgo guy that im dating is soo sarcastic and i love it. its actually great to be around someone who appreciates my witty bantor for once instead of getting offended by it. He also likes that I get his sarcasm because he tends to offend people quite often by mistake, but im not easily offended 🙂even though i know that half of the stuff he's saying sarcastically he really means! lol

lmfao, you two are a mess

Nurp, not a LICK of Aries in my chart--WOOT WOOT!!! 😛

Someone say Aries moon? 😄

Hehehehee. *holding hand down low for pigeon slap* Now rise Sir Pigeon, dust yourself off and embrace your calling. Aries mooooon in da hizzouuuuuuuus. Whoooot!

Nah, I've dealth w/enough Scorps, it's usually a "you've-just-met-your-match" draw on both sides, LOL!

We're both too damn stubborn, and MUST have the last word.

Woops! *slapping LS some skin* Aries moon sister. I always feel like I'm peeking over a high garden gate. Hopping up and down and I...can't...see. I'm such a nosy cow. Mwahhahaaa.

I always assumed a lot of the hidden posts were full on schmexual. Ooops, take it to PM land or better yet, IM land.

I yack on Live, I yack on yahoo, I've got Skype but haven't used it yet. Do talk a lot with calls over IM though. Heaps cheaper than overseas phone bills going ka-ching, ka-ching. I like the instant gratification of it. No lags ( unless someone is getting a coffee, doing something else, etc. )

Ohhh, I dunno. A lot of men chat too for various reasons. 😄

^ LOL! And for the record Bling, I don't have Tater on my IM. He's more slippery than an eel out of water.

I think that's hot LS. Nothing like a good verbal joust to get the juices flowing.

Tell me about it. And forget about it on lorry trips. He is indeed the International Man o' Mystery.

Totally, LOL! I do wonder if the little one's married though--he looks like the stalker type that'll stand over your bed, stroking your hair while you sleep...after he snuck into the window...

But they're funny though--funnier than Drew Carey, that's for sure...
