How does this birthday card make you feel?

[Fretful]

Without giving any background as I would like some unbiased opinions, please

[SuziQ10]

Open it, read it, chuck it in the bin.
Weird card, not funny but see what they're going for. Wouldn't be on display on my mantle piece.

[YogaWannabe]

Not my sense of humor but not something to get worked up about imo

[slashlover]

I've sent that card to my sister, it's a bit of a joke that her heating is on almost constantly. The last time I stayed there I was physically sick as it was so hot.

[Jaxhog]

As a joke, slightly funny, in a 'this isn't the 1950s' way. As a birthday card, in poor taste.

[Squigglesworth]

...Not funny. And a really strange choice for a birthday card. I wouldn't be thrilled to receive this, but unless the person giving it had a history of treating me poorly, I would just think they had a strange sense of humor and leave it at that.

[Mememeplease]

Not offended by it as it's obviously supposed to be a joke but it's not that funny. Why would you send that to someone anyway?

[Hopefulmidwife]

Oh my god it's a card. Do we have to be offended by everything nowadays? If you received it and don't like it, chuck it away. If you've seen it in a shop and don't like it, don't buy it.

[ghostyslovesheets]

it's dull really - not funny but not awful just bland

[HarrysOwl]

Shit card, shit joke.

[GreigLaidlawsbarofsoap]

Very dull 1970s style "humour" based on men humiliating women. If someone gave me that I would assume they don't know me at all! I would not be impressed.

[BlueJava]

I wouldn't send it myself, if I received it then I would think it had come from someone older than me and quite old fashioned. I wouldn't be offended, life is too short.

[GetStrongKeepFighting]

Not funny. Not interesting. Quite surprised so many people didn't instantly get it.

[BarbaraofSevillle]

I think it actually is a Les Dawson joke, or someone from that style/era Joke.

[sackrifice]

It's a Noel Gallagher joke.

Make of that what you will.

[TapasForTwo]

I have seen it before. It isn't a very good joke. On the face of it I wouldn't be offended to receive it, but it depends on the back story why someone else might.

If there is no back story I would think the recipient is too easily offended.

[Stawp]

It's a poor attempt at humour.

[HotpotLawyer]

Well it isn’t suitable as a birthday card.

It’s one of those really crap jokes where we women are all supposed to chuckle indulgently about what we put up with, isn’t it?

But actually better as a card that says ‘never will I put up with your shit like this again, your dinner’s in the bin, yours, your STBXW’

[MerryMarigold]

If someone other than dh was giving it, I'd assume they were making a comment about the way my dh treats me. If I was the dh, I'd assume my wife/ friend thinks pretty badly about me. If it was given to me by my dh, I wouldn't be impressed. He's making light of his very sexist/ horrible attitude towards me, recognising it whilst refusing to change it.

[Ellenborough]

It took me a while to get the joke. It's not hilarious. I don't have any feelings about it one way or another. It reminds me of Les Dawson.

[Twisique]

Makes me feel uncomfortable.

[picklemepopcorn]

It would need to be sent between people who share the joke, so a couple who tussle over the thermostat.

Without that context of security, then no.

[LinoleumBlownapart]

I wouldn't like to get that card from anyone, it's a bit odd. I wouldn't be offended but I'd certainly think the giver was a bit strange.

[fotheringhay]

Nasty as hell

[Ohyesiam]

A bit underwhelmed, it’s not very funny . A joke about a selfish ah man.

[FamilyOfAliens]

The “joke” has been around for decades.
