    Smart phones, smart watches, smart TVs, and now this? Give me a break, some things just don’t have to be Internet connected.

    If they are actually funny, don’t punch down too much, and can turn it off when needed.

    It’s not good if that’s your whole personality.

      I work with too many people who insist on giving me the smartarse answer to EVERY fucking question.

      Every day I have to ask every station “Do you need any assistance today?” And “Do you have enough work to fill your shift?” And every day “YEah yOu cAn WaSh mY cAr! HehEheHe” and “yEaH iF I geT thrOugH thIs I’lL jUsT tAKe a nAp!”

      And every month we have to do a drivers licence check and every damn month the same people “wHaT lIcEnCe!?!”

      Fuck cunt, grow up. I hate doing this shit as much as you hate being asked, why are you making it take twice as long!?!

    Why shouldn’t I? Bless those who encourage you to second-think things when things are presented as unquestionable.

      Well, since you ask, it likely depends on whether they’re humorously encouraging you to look at something from a different angle, or if they’ve just discovered a handful of situations that get a chuckle from people who only encounter it occasionally, them proceed to subject everyone to the same ‘second-think’ ad nauseum.

    I trust my body to tell me that something’s wrong. If my butt is giving me warning signs, I darn well better listen.

    I don’t like that type of competition and we end up losing everybody else as the sarcasm and references get more obtuse and obscure until one of us loses and slingshots up to potty humor.

    Best exchange I heard about this topic:

    Person 1: “Stop being such a smart ass”
    Person 2: “I will when you stop being such a dumb ass”

    Depends on how good they are at it. If pedestrian drech is all they have to offer I’ll spin 'em dizzy and set 'em straight. If they’ve got art, game recognizes game.

    Not typically, I’m usually talking fast trying to get an idea out of my head and communicated but they find the need to interrupt with low effort jokes.

    Having lived in different areas of the US I do find it’s fairly regional. I can go back home and joke around and be a smartass, but if I tried it here people would find me extremely rude.
