My wife is at it again

I'm trying desperately to eat healthy but my wife fed me this for breakfast, steak, mashed potatoes and avocado! Shouldn't I be eating dry toast or something? Is it too much to ask that I eat what everyone else in the house is eating?

Also, I wasn't actually aware the OP was joking until I read the comments saying that for him. Why is it that one out of every three threads on here is "joking" and anyone who takes it too "seriously" immediately gets flamed for "not having a sense of humor", when there was no actual context given to explain that? They're not called "Sarcasm Boards", and until they are, these "facetious" threads are getting tiresome.

Because this section is called "chit-chat, fun, and games" and is for "chit-chat, fun, and games."

There are a lot of people not noticing that up top (you can tell by the seriousness of some of the responses), and I'm sure that's what OP and all these other lurkers want-- they WANT people to take the thread seriously when it's not supposed to be and then proceed to make fun of them for doing so, as if fault can be blamed on them for taking the words at face value. I suppose that's "fun" to some people, but to the rest of us it's just an annoying display of "look at me" behavior.

Notice, when someone posts a serious thread and wants positive feedback and gets upset because they don't get it, everyone jumps on them for not being able to handle all forms of feedback. And yet, when joke threads are posted and THEY get feedback they don't want (i.e. overly serious responses), then it's not their fault, it's everyone else's. Anyone else feel like this is a double standard? Hmm?

Yes, yes, you're right . . . all the board on here need to be for the serious . . . no funz allowed.

There is quite a difference between discussing a topic playfully and purposefully setting up a trap for people who don't read closely enough to fall into and then mocking them for it. The latter is encouraging and rationalizing ridicule.

"It's okay to be mean to that person because they were stupid and didn't read my post the way *I* wanted them to, or the way OP wanted them to. Clearly that makes them an idiot and worthy of mocking."

No one has set a trap here. This was clearly running on the joke of this "serious" topic constantly coming up. The OP did not go and attack anyone not getting the joke; it's other people who have gotten angry that the joke's not taken seriously, and even then, that is a minority. You're comparing an OP posting a topic and attacking any "dissenters" with an OP posting a topic and OTHER people getting mad they didn't get the joke.

Even then, the "anger" or "attacking" could be further jokes and parody of some stereotypical MFP "butthurt" responses; you misunderstand context and jokes on this forum all the time, and this seems like yet another one.

Now, let's get back to the steak.

You're lucky...I got this:

Hey, happy to swap sometime . . .

Don't like what she's making? Get your *kitten* in the kitchen and make it yourself.
