I once volunteered to work with some kids, and this one kid sat on my lap and told me he wished I was dead. Those kindergartners are so darn cute.

People are naturally sarcastic, and we gravitate toward such behavior. It’s a trait that made Chandler Bing a beloved character. Statistics also show that Americans sarcastically say, “Yeah, right,” at least 23% of the time.  

Researchers also found a link between a sharp-witted sense of humor and higher creativity levels. As The Swaddle pointed out, sarcasm requires mental gymnastics.

And on the way out my attacker is further caught up in all the bags I have by the door to use for shopping that I am planning on taking out to the car someday.

Because sarcasm requires extra brain power, experts see it as evidence of maturity, especially among teenagers. Speaking with BBC, psycholinguist Dr. Penny Pexman explained how detecting subtle nuances of snark fast-tracks a child’s understanding of another person’s intentions through their words. 

“Children develop the ability to take the perspective of another person and to recognize that the belief someone might hold in their mind is different from their own,” Pexman said.

People tend to develop friendships with people who carry a brutally honest approach, sometimes through snarky statements. As explained by psychologist Dr. Nikki Martinez, it’s because sarcasm allows us a person to speak their mind while being less aggressive. 

“Someone with good insight will know there is truth in what we said, while someone with a big ego will just assume that we were joking,” Dr. Martinez told Reader’s Digest.

Of course, people don’t view sarcasm as a positive thing on the surface. Licensed mental health counselor Anthony D. Smith describes it as “hostility disguised as humor.” 

Language experts suggest that others use sarcastic humor as a “gentler insult” to tone down their criticism. Speaker and workplace expert Amy Gallo views it as passive-aggressive behavior that can negatively affect workplace relationships.

Ultimately, it’s about striking the right balance. While sarcasm does have perceived upsides in certain situations, too much of it may be damaging to an extent. Educator and therapist Pamela J. Nikodem advises incorporating wit and positivity to avoid going overboard. 

“The weight of negativity pulls a person’s disposition down,” Nikodem wrote in an article for Medium. “The idea is to bring laughter to people.”

I bought a reversable woollen capelet at an op shop little while ago. First time I wore it my sister said 'are you all rich now or something' and I have to admit it does look extravagant and is a brand I could never afford to buy new.

I'm not saying this is a good idea, but holding your breath until you pass out generally ends the long-winded, insipid chatter.

Guys, I heard the funniest theory about the Austrian painter. When he was in prison with his best friend Rudolf Hess, neither of them got the idea to write a book. It was suggested to Hitler by other inmates who were sick and tired of listening to his mad ramblings. I, as a lifelong victim of nonconsensual monologues, completely understand that.

I have finally just started ending these interactions by going, 'I'm sorry, but I am filled with the urge to defecate...' It works in a hurry.

It probably wouldn't even take all of 15 minutes, but am I ever going to actually find out? Probably not.

Don't let her OCD damage your self-esteem. Disarray can be a sign of mental health.

I need to mentally prepare. And there needs to be consequences for NOT showing up, otherwise I'm never coming by EVER.

Dammit, now I need a lizard, a cat, a dog, a bear and a T-Rex. I don't know why I complained about the fly. Perhaps I'll buy a sandwich.

I like to name them and give them a backstory, because it just feels better when it feels personal.

A former friend of mine got her nipples pierced and while paying with her cat the animal got entangled with her claws through the shirt with the piercing... I stopped her there and then, the mental picture was painful enough

I never watched Friends regularly because my kids were in the Jr. High/High school age range during its run so I didn't have much time to watch anything, or eat, or sleep, or...(teenagers are exhausting, man) And, I was a couple of decades ahead of those situations in real life so the show didn't really speak to situations where I was. That being said, I adore Joey and have seen funny clips of him and yes, the rest of the cast as well. I've seen a lot of their movies(the whole cast) and liked a fair number of them. A show can be funny even if I didn't watch it, the consensus is that it was a funny show.
