    To a colleague arriving 10 mins late: “Afternoon.”

    To a colleague arriving 10 mins early: “Shat the bed?”

      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

    All of those trite reddit-tier quips that people repeat like they’re filling out a template. Like

    Person 1: such and such thing is shit

    Person 2: that’s an insult to shit!

    I gotta figure they don’t even find it funny themselves but just do it out of obligation. Hopefully now that AI is replacing all the commenters the conversation will become less robotic.

    Some chowder head in the 80s said “you’ve never seen me and batman in the same room at the same time” and now we’re all paying for it. “I’d call them a removed but at least those have warmth and depth”

    I have been unfortunate enough to hear various racist and/or homophobic jokes over the years, so probably one of them

    It’s a toss-up between Elon Musk and people saying “WHAT?!” when I tell them I’m hearing impaired.
