Why do people who aren’t funny and don’t make jokes get offended when it’s observed by others that they aren’t funny? Like, they aren’t even trying to be funny so why do they care?
It’d be like me getting offended if someone tells me I’ve never climbed Everest. I’ve never even tried or wanted to make the attempt. Why would that bug me?
Maybe they’re so bad at making jokes, nobody notices the attempt.
Or maybe they believe they’d be funny if they only lowered themselves to try.
Perhaps. Often no one notices my jokes because they’re about some obscure BS no one has ever heard of. Most of the time it’s not intentional. I just assume people know more than they do.
