[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they’ll disinherit your DH for your awful behavior and you’ll never be able to “vacation” there again.  Getting a little teary for you.  Sniff.[/quote]

I’m all set, thanks! They could leave us nothing and it would be absolutely no problem. Perhaps your situation is different, but not all of us are counting on inheritances and cower at the idea of not getting one. -OP [/quote]

Geez OP I was with you until this post. Wtf?[/quote]

I’m with OP. How was she supposed to respond to “maybe they’ll disinherit you for your awful behavior”?  A+ work here. [/quote]

NP. It was very clearly sarcasm, and it should have been responded to as sarcasm.

That being said, I suspect OP was reading quickly and may be feeling a little raw about putting a story up on DCUM. (Understandably.) So I can see why she would have misread, but it was clearly a misreading. [/quote]

NP. I didn't read it as sarcasm, especially with the additional posters saying things like "oh another MIL story, yawn." I really didn't read it as sarcasm. Just my two cents.[/quote]

I know it's an anonymous forum and all, but I wouldn't be bragging about that if I were you.  If you didn't understand that "Getting a little teary for you.  Sniff." was sarcasm, I'm not sure what to say.  And you don't have the (very charitable) excuse that the PP suggested, that the OP was a little raw.  [/quote]

Your joke sucked, and didn’t land. Just walk it off, friend. No charity required [/quote]

Her post was fine, sorry you don’t get sarcasm. OP’s response was real Tuesday-ish too, IYKWIM[/quote]

Dig in. It still wasn’t  funny. I do get sarcasm. I also know most people aren’t very good at it, and it is not generally used well.  that was def a swing and a miss. It read critical. You might want to practice more.

NP. It was so very obviously sarcastic…I’m confused how anyone could read it otherwise.[/quote]

Right?! "Getting a little teary for you. Sniff."  How on earth anyone thought that was straight is beyond me. [/quote]
