Every time I hear this one I wanna break the product in half and walk awayπ
Talking about any ear or hearing trouble and someone replies "pardon?"
π€¦π€¬
As someone who's been hearing impaired my whole life, yes. The urge to punch the person in the face right at that moment sometimes seems irresistible.
I'd like to believe I'd still have that reaction to this "joke" even if my hearing was fine, still I do agree with you that it's really extra infuriating when explaining a genuine hearing issue
I do this, but I like to respond with a loud and sudden "WHAT" which is probably less funny and more obnoxious but it usually gets a laugh
To a colleague arriving 10 mins late: "Afternoon."
To a colleague arriving 10 mins early: "Shat the bed?"
Agreed π―, this is not amusing.
As someone who works the later shifts, it took me a while to figure out what was wrong with "afternoon". It's been so long since someone has said good morning to me at work
I have been unfortunate enough to hear various racist and/or homophobic jokes over the years, so probably one of them
Three moles were digging a tunnel. One of the moles farts. The next mole says, "smells like rutabagas". The next mole says, "smells like carrots".
After a long pause, the first mole turns to the last mole that has not spoken yet and asks what they smell.
The last mole says "molasses" and gets back to digging.
I read this joke when I was maybe 13 and I never understood it. More than a decade later I was randomly driving around and I remembered this joke and got it.
Maybe just because we don't understand it, but the ancient Sumerian bar joke:
A dog entered into a tavern and said, 'I cannot see anything. I shall open this one.'
It's a toss-up between Elon Musk and people saying "WHAT?!" when I tell them I'm hearing impaired.
The βwe are not the sameβ meme. I understand the point, itβs just not funny. Itβs cringey as hell.
