Sarcasm + wit = i don't know
When things backfire in a social enviroment i sometimes want to die, it's not that i feel like an idiot when it backfires, but instead it's the fucking person i'm talking to should feel like an idiot but doesn't realize they should.
This commonly occurs when people bring up issues like dead parents or friends that commit suicide or introducing sarcasm or any attempt at wit into a conversation.
It's tough if the other person thinks you are serious, you both are put off by one another, the one person for thinking that when you said you learned how to pick up women from michael jackson (aka you don't pick up women ever, but you drive around school playgrounds in a van) they'll think you're pedofile or you try too hard to get a laugh.
it's the wrost when they think you're serious, i was at earls a couple of nights ago, because dave said he gets id'd everywhere he goes he even gets id'd at blades games (implying when he goes up to buy alcohol they id him, even though they always sell to 14 yearold girls there) and another person at the table asked "how old you have to be to go to a blades game" and i said "29" and well here's how the whole conversation went.
Now the problem is i think that that bitch who didn't get my joke is an idiot and she thinks i'm an idiot, because i just said you need to be 29 to go to a blades game.
Wit in many cases is a dying art, people are more obsessed with blunt to the point pros so simple and easy to understand that today's conversations that occur between two 20 yearolds is what most schools use to teach 5 yearolds how to read.
"I went to the store and saw jimmy, and he was so hot wearing blue jeans and a red shirt and he might have looked at me"
"Oh my god, i can't beleive he might have looked at you"
"Yeah i'm gonna bang a chikc, and then watch some hockey"
"yeah she's pretty hot and hockey is pretty awesome, i can't believe that gretzky retired, oh yeah and yeah i hate brett hall. "
it's kinda basic
and is so boring, but nothing is worse than trying to explain sarcasm or some witty remark, becaus ethe other person understanding that witty comment without you explaining it the main establishing bond between you and the other person. a connection of similar interests.
answering the meaning of life with "42" is only amusing if the other person has read the same books as you, if they haven't, trying to explain it tot he person becomes an awkward affair and it gets old explaining every little detail.
wit and sarcasm are things of a dying age unless it is obvious and in your face, and even then it is usually missed.
