Sarcasm, my Problem.

Rinsting

Here's an example:

I'm in class, and a teacher comes up to me and asks me if I did the assignment that she assigned 3 weeks ago. I say, "Naw, I forgot" in the most sarcastic way possible.

This isn't awful, but it's not a great trait either, and I get in mondo amounts of trouble if I do this too much. Advice?:pirate:
 
Tell your parents (and friends, if masochistic) to start saying things like "Naw, I forgot" or other sarcastic remarks when it comes things, like your parents about your dinner, even if they made it. A dose of your own medicine should sober you up real quick.
 
I'm pretty sarcastic myself. Aside from ^^^^^^, just taking a second, just one, before you answer questions will get you far in regulating your sarcasm.

In that second, thing about everything that could go wrong with the answer you're about to give, and everything that could go right if you don't give that answer.
 
I'm sure he wants advice on how to stop. It's pretty hard for a sarcastic person to stop doing the one thing that makes them giggle inside.
 
lol oh yeah! I have a real problem with that too! My goodness because its so easy to do that. Well I can't really give any good advice besides just goin through what your about to say before you say it. and purging it of sarcasm. it also helps to just limit your sarcasm to only people. That way it doesnt feel so bad.
 
Uh, maybe practice some self control? Seriously, sarcasm is funny and fine in personal life but in a professional life that kind of attitude will get you nothing but grief. Be your own filter, think before you speak.
 
Honestly, just keep your mouth shut, it's not terribly difficult. Alternately buy a book on cognitive behavioural therapy and work through it.
 
Sarcasm is the root of all evil. That said, I'm fairly evil and enjoy being sarcastic. If you do it well, people will just come to see you as someone who has a dry sense of humour and, through sarcasm, you can make the more mundane things in life that little bit funnier.

Sarcasm has to be done well, and at the right time. Sarcasm + funeral = no-no.
 
read the book who moved my cheese and then smile inside as you wonder who could even write such a steaming pile of horse shit
