So apparently telling your friend or acquaintance you don’t share their particular sense of humour is worse?
I guess I shouldn’t overthink a shitpost, but is it really such a social faux pas to tell someone your tastes are different from theirs? I just wonder if this is a cultural thing that I’m too Dutch to get, or of it’s more of a I’m-too-socially-awkward-to-have-an-opinion-of-my-own kind of thing?
Showing a video you genuinely find funny to your best hommie just to be forced to watch him obviously pretending to laugh for two minutes.
I learnt to never do this, as I realized I hate when they do it to me. I just send the link and they can watch it when they want
Even better when they’re pretending to laugh when you’re showing them a sad video
This is why I wanted to answer
Just forward the video. Then they can type “lol” without having to watch it.
lol
Childhood cancer is probably a close second
yeah I hate having to force laughter at childhood cancer
You’re forcing laughter?
Yeah. Complaining about it to strangers.
Allow me to introduce you to:
Friend that sends 3+ min voice messages in a group chat and ask for feedback about it.
😩
Having to watch an ad first.
Having someone in your life that cares and is comfortable enough to share their interests and joy with you?
So horrible.
Yes, I know where this was posted.
Never be the person showing memes at the party.
Try to imagine a party where phones aren’t allowed.
No one taking pictures or video, everyone talking to each other in the moment, just for the moment, just for each other.
Our very own John Lennon
I remember. When they didn’t have their phone, they often smoked or drank beer. Try to find friends that can party sober and be present, it’s the best.
I am low vision so I can’t see a phone unless it’s nice and close.
This fact has saved me from many of these situations. If they are extra insistent I tell them to send me the link and reply with a laugh emoji as is expected in our culture.
I do this to my family, probably I should stop… I won’t though. 🫶
It’s this what youngsters do these days instead of cocaine?
They rack up the lines off the phone as the video is playing
What do you mean instead?
When the toddler watches your eyes for half the time. “Watch! You’re not looking!”
This has the same energy of being around a group of close friends that you’re not particularly close with and they’re all laughing about some inside joke that only the group can understand and I’m just like wtf this is not even remotely funny
Leprosy.
