People don't get my humor....

Seriously!  I know I am a sarcastic lil $hit sometimes but apparently that is not "welcomed" in some settings.  Okay yes I know there are times when sarcasm is not acceptable, like a funeral...I guess but other times it should be free game.  And if you don't catch the sarcasm then boooooo on you. 

My sarcastic nature helps me get through meetings with "big wigs" that would normally intimidate me.  I am a shy person, speaking in front of large groups has never been my forte.  But I have to do it so I do.  I don't mind being teased, I have siblings and cousins and friends who pick but its harmless and all in fun.  Nothing mean or hurtful.  And since I'm submissive in a sense that makes it easy for people to feel like I'm their little sister and tease me.  Or maybe they think I'm cute and they are flirting...probably not but whatever.  Regardless, people who just meet me like to tease me about various things and my normal response to anyone is sarcastic.  But my sarcasm is sometimes dark...or EXTREMELY nerdy....or just weird so this confuses the "cool" people who can't follow my line of thought.  

My defense is always, always some witty/silly/dumb comment.  Its just...I guess people can't tell I'm being an @$$ and then it gets out of hand with them thinking I am being serious...and then I turn red...and then I can't focus on anything else other than I am a weirdo.  In reality they probably think I'm just odd or maybe unintelligent...or a liar (ooooooo I really don't like that one) but I feel like I've made some horrible mistake and then I clam up and say only what's necessary.  I am so freaking WEIRD!  I guess when you are speaking with the director(s) and manager(s) its probably best to stay non-sarcastic but it comes so easily to me that I don't realize I am doing it until I've said something and then your boss is looking at you like "you dumb" and ugh!

Its not like I say anything rude by any means but if you ask me a dumbish question that the answer is probably no to...I am more than likely going to respond with "yeah, of course...." *raised eye brow* while shaking my head no.  Apparently this confuses people and they think yea, of course means yea of course instead of "uh yea no" which is what it actually means.  Am I confusing you yet???  Anyways, I hope I am forgiven for my recently mistaken sarcasm.  I swear I am just trying to be funny people!
