To hate jokes

9 replies

gravye · 25/06/2023 22:40

My friends are currently sat on my bed reading one liners, puns, and knock knock jokes off to each other and laughing hysterically. Unless I am genuinely shocked (dark sense of humour) I am just not at all entertained by these jokes, in fact it is very annoying.

I am sitting here not reacting but my blood is slowly boiling with irritation.

AIBU to hate jokes?

Just to add, lots of people have told me I am a very funny person. So I wouldn't consider myself a misery. Just fun but not funny.

Are you dying and they're nervously trying to lift the mood?

I wish I was, i'm tactfully leaving the room because I cannot stand this anymore

Can we have an example of the jokes they’re telling you and an example of a joke you find funny?

If you're not dying then why are they on your bed?

Assuming you're a grown adult, why have you got a bunch of friends sitting on your bed? What has happened to your living room and sofa? It seems like an odd place to be entertaining guests. And why, when this is clearly annoying you, don't you take control and get them out of your bedroom (and home)?

Hate them with a passion!

I don't have a living room, friends are visiting me in my studio for the weekend.

Not funny: Your telling me a shrimp fried this rice
Not funny: My wife dumped me because i'm too into football. Our relationship lasted 7 seasons.

Funny: Where did Joe go after getting lost on a minefield? Everywhere
