As with all emotions, sarcasm isn’t easily detectable through text. But according to a study by a research team from Northwestern University, it can be more difficult for people in powerful positions.
“Power leads individuals to anchor too heavily on their own vantage point, insufficiently adjusting to other individuals’ perspectives,” head researcher Adam Galinsky wrote in their paper.

Emojis are an integral part of today’s text communication, and the ones you use may differentiate sarcasm from straightforward responses. These were findings by University of Nottingham psychological scientists Dominic Thompson and Ruth Filik.
In their research, Thompson and Filik determined that tongue-out and wink emojis are often associated with sarcastic remarks. The pair also noted that these two emoticons “almost never appeared in any condition except for marking sarcasm.”
Have you noticed how difficult it is to remove those bludy tags? They dig in to wherever they can&even scissors have trouble cutting them off!
That's because you aren't removing them completely you absolutely k**b.

It could be worse. My husband went out shopping on a spontaneous vacation (yes, I was included) several states away and bought me a cute shirt. We were dressing for dinner later that night so I decided to try on the shirt. There was a huge plastic security type whatever attached. Yes, we went back with receipt to have it removed. That's when the alarm sounded. I guess their security was installed backwards?
When I lived in Seattle, my first job was in Bellevue. One morning while driving to work, I was so in awe at the glorious mountains that I just focused on them for quite a while. When I finally snapped out of it, I realised that I had driven at least 15 minutes past my place of employment. I was literally about to drive all the way to the mountains. Man, that place is beautiful!!! Truly beautiful.
When I’m old enough, I will refer to my job as my place of employment.
Load More Replies...Ah, a reprise of a comment I made some time ago: It's called Road Hypnosis. It's a thing. I promise! I found out about it when I somehow started my vehicle when I left work, started maneuvering out of the parking lot, and the next thing I knew, I'm parking in my driveway without police cars/ choppers/ 4 police stars on my HUD having showed up. It's weird, and it's kind of scary, but as far as I've been able to tell, no one gets hurt, no laws get broken, you just kind of start driving a familiar route, you think your thinks, and boom. Destination. Edit: SUCK IT TESLA! I am my own self driving car!!
Not really a good idea to get used to it. You may make it make it home with no problem most of the time, but that isn't a guarantee for every time. You can run lights or stop signs, or cut people off, without ever realizing it.

Since we’re on the topic of deciphering sarcasm, have you ever wondered how kids interpret such language? Psychology professor Dr. Penny Pexman provided some insights in an article for Frontiers For Young Minds.
Dr. Pexman noted that children don’t usually understand sarcasm until they are five to six years old, and may not find the humor in it until they are eight. By nine years of age, they are already beginning to tease other people sarcastically.

Make friends with this guy and send him to my ex. He'll be glad to once I tell him what he did.
Ok, if the cellar demon did not raise any red flags upon first, maybe second date, then you deserve to go down there.
People who have suffered from brain injuries may also find it challenging to understand sarcasm. However, it all depends on the brain region that was affected.
According to Dr. Pexman, damage to the brain’s left hemisphere often leads to less severe difficulties. However, damage to the right hemisphere tends to result in the complete loss of the ability to comprehend sarcastic remarks.
For added context, the brain’s right hemisphere is associated with spatial reasoning, emotional processing, and holistic thinking. Medical conditions like a stroke that affect this brain region may hinder the person from processing emotions and nonverbal cues.

This always ends in me waking up panicked and confused and leaping out of bed in a state of terror. Once I thought it was the next morning. Another time I thought it had somehow been 24+ hours and I had slept through the entire night AND the next day missing work. Yet another time I thought I'd traveled back in time and it was earlier in the day, expected it to be 9:00 am, was baffled by it being 3:15.
Having gone to sleep in the day, and woken up in the daylight thinking it was a short nap, only to discover it was the next day, I can relate.

We were wandering around a city where English isn't the native language. Stumbled across a cafe with a sign that said something like "Hi, we're not open yet. Unless we are. If we're closed, we might not be open, or we might be on vacation. If we're here, we'll open at 11am. Unless we stayed open late. Then it might be later." It was too intriguing to not stay around to see. We went to a cafe across the way and had coffee. Then lunch. Guess they were on vacation.

It's much worse than that, so MANY large stores do not have a consistent layout. "hmmm, this store has the pharmacy on the right end"..
And then you get old and your eyesight fails and you cannot read the microscopic fonts on the item's label. There are 10 different fonts, colors, and sizes on a two inch sized box of pepper. You can't read even one.

I asked at customer service and they told me they were in aisle 14 (or whatever, I don't remember the number) .I found the batteries directly across from feminine hygiene products. You cannot tell me that was just a coincidence.
I'm in merchandise remodeling, they pay me to make sure you can't find anything anymore. You're welcome.
Rearranging the sections is one thing but them changing the floor layout resulting in those becoming narrower is real agony (that I now have to live with).
The neighborhood grocery changed to self-checkout. Only one person to help the hapless out front. I hadn't been in for a while, and it had an all new layout that perplexed me at first. Then I realized. They'd eliminated almost all the fresh produce, and removed one aisle. All the better to watch the shoppers. Guess I'll find another grocery store.
Load More Replies...When a grocery store does this to me, I switch to a different store. On the basis that in the new store I know I don’t know where any thing is, avoiding a series of disappointing false assumptions.
There was a Tesco near me that I hated shopping in. Its layout was wrong and each time I went there I would silently rage as I shopped. Nothing was coherent, and the layout, I can’t even find the words it was that bad. It still makes me angry now, luckily it’s been demolished to build houses.
[mini rant]I'm in my 40s and yes, I can confirm, this angers me so that I want to grab my armor and lay siege against the grocery store. But I'm in my 40s so, bad back, trick knee and wonky hips. I seethe in silence while trying to find the type of beans I like. Because I'm not asking the spotty faced teenager! [/mini rant]
Only in your 40s? That's pretty bad. Maybe exercise? In my 40s I was still riding horses in competition.

I've never had this happen, thank goodness. In fact sometimes people queue up for a while when a door is closed, without realising it's not actually engaged, then they check with the rest of the line before gently pushing it. In my experience anyway.
There is nothing more annoying than people standing in the queue having not tried the doors! At Kings Cross station they have lights to show it’s engaged and maybe the number of free cubicles, but I remember saying there are 10 free cubicles but you’re all standing in the queue still? And trying to get them to go to the green cubicles. They just stand there as if they’re in no rush at all!!!
Load More Replies...Why do people knock on a locked bathroom door? The microscopic chance it was accidentally locked with no one in it? Edit: I was thinking it could just be modus operandi for some people with locked doors.
I used to run a paper route out in the country. There was one 7-11 out there and I stopped every night for coffee and bathroom breaks. Since I knew it I was aware that the door wouldn't latch unless you pulled on the door tight. I walked in one morning and the men's room was out of order. I was using the women's room anyway. I opened the door and some guy was in there. I'm. Not sure who was more shocked.
I had this happen to me last summer. Woman kept pulling on the door, so she wasn't letting me out. I finally yelled a blue streak at her! Then she let go and the door hit my shoulder. She looked very sheepish at that.
