Anyone else hate sarcasm?

Post Reply New Topic

I see it's quite popular among many here. I have yet to meet many people who hate it also.

I've always been taught that it's the lowest form of wit, and well, I have to say I agree.

Interested to meet others who share my view.

I don't like it but can't expound on my ideas right now. Brain fog.

I use it sometimes, but don't particularly like or dislike it.

I didn't think I did, but I keep getting called sarcastic, so maybe I actually love it.

I'm so sarcastic no-one takes compliments from me seriously. That's a problem.

However, well timed sarcastic retorts can be used as a foil when someone asks a stupid question. Its not really meant to be humerous - allthough that's a bonus - just to emphasize the point that you should think about what you say to avoid wasting everyone's time.

I use it sometimes (more online than in person), but usually don't like it when others do (in person...a kind of hypocrisy, yes), as they either:
a) make it way too obvious,
or
b) have no idea how to use it and sound dead serious even to someone who doesn't have AS or a more "literal" mind.

I can detect it rather well nowadays; used to be terrible at it.

I hate sarcasm because I don't understand sarcastic remarks most of the time, so I frustrate those who direct such remarks at me. When I speak my mind, some people retort that I'm being sarcastic. Maybe their definition of "sarcasm" is different from mine, cos I won't use sarcasm to spar.

From what I notice It's mainly used by bitchy computer nerds who take the internets seriously.

Oh I try not to use sarcasm online, it really doesn't work. Internet arguments as a whole are somewhat undignified as it is.

I don't like sarcasm and nor do I use it.

Depends on the context, the person you're talking to, how well you know them, if you know how they are likely to take it and so on.
I don't like cruel sarcasm.

The kind of sarcasm I dislike the most is when someone says something seriously and the other person repeats what they say in a sarcastic tone. Some people thing that counts for debate. It doesn't.

i don't get sarcasm.. it's being rude with a funny purpose right?
it's still rude to me, haha.

Me! Glad to know someone else doesn't like it. I find it mostly just mean spirited. I hate shows like South Park and Family Guy as well.

Depends on how and when it is being used.
