How funny is this?

[citanul]

i was getting all set to explain to you how unfunny your post was, and people appear to have done an acceptable job of that already. i propose you take a break for a couple of days from OOT to consider "humor" before posting again.

It was no where near as funny as this.

It might be funny in a "had to be there" sort of way.

I didn't say it was funny. I said my co-worker thinks it's funny and I was simply asking how funny it was.

Saying "0" is perfectly acceptable. I don't know why people get offended by something like this....>>?

I get it. It's not funny. The fact that I probably have 20 messages piled up and don't care isn't funny. That when clients call me and ask if I got their message and I mutter "uhhh, just a sec...." until they get on with it isn't funny at all. It's standard.

That's all you guys had to say was that not checking your messages for over 25 business days is standard.

We've all done it, and it's no big deal. I get it now. I don't see why this was worth of a "2nd strike"???

You mean you really don't understand why this thread blows?

It doesn't blow enough for you to keep from posting.

I had no idea this was standard office procedure. Now that I do, I will never assume people may find it funny.

i think it's funny. if youre getting the job, then sure it's funny.

and the post is quite a bit more entertaining than some. i guess it was the delivery why everyone is jumping on you. if a Pooh-Bah who had been here 2 years had posted something similiar had posted that, there would have been a good response.

i agree. if the first responder said "ahaha, that's gold. i think i'm gonna try that at my office" the rest of the replies would have followed suit. but instead the first response was "that's lame. not funny at all" so everyone else decided to lay the smackdown on your post as well.

i think it's somewhat humourous.

I don't think the content was the problem but rather the presentation. The Title of the thread lead to a disappoint with the content. A different title and nobody would have said anything.

I think you are right...everyone seems up in arms over the fact that the post wasn't the funniest thing they'd ever heard.

Whoops.

Maybe if I added a poll, people wouldn't have been so harsh???? How ironic.

Thanks for the support. Tell Astroglide. Apparently this thread was enough for me to get a "second strike", because his pals didn't think it was as funny as they hoped for.

Good thing none of this phases me. I took a course on Sociology in college. I understand how group dynamic can work (or not work) sometime.

Keep on keepin' on.
