I sometimes have a hard time differentiating sarcasm from brash dialog. Since delivery is essential when it comes to sarcasm, one has to be convincing when purposely stating the opposite of what they mean. Sure, there's a time and a place for sarcasm, but then there are those people with those dry sense of humors that don't know when to draw the line. Some people love it while others could do without it, so do tell ladies, how do you feel about sarcasm?

I am a very sarcastic person. I have a snarky comment for just about everything...and yes sometimes people have a hard time telling if Im being sarcastic or serious. (my bf and I have gotten into plenty of fights because I said something sarcastically and he took it seriously)
1I couldn't live without a little sarcasm! The thing is, sarcasm can be both silly and vicious - depending on who is dishing it out & why.
2I am sometimes...but i agree, there is a time and a place.
3Pretty much everything I say and do is sarcastic so many people take that at face value and think that I'm rather stupid or clueless when I'm really just testing their reactions or playing devil's advocat...Whatever as long as its not mean sarcasm
4i'm totally sarcastic and i definitely have to watch myself when i am with a group of people i don't know.
5i can be a little sarcastic, a lot less than i used to be.
my sister is one of those people who u cant tell whether they're sarcastic or not...i usually have to ask, and the answer is "NoOoo", which means yes
i dont appreciate too much sarcasm, i think its borderline passive aggressive
6I often get the moniker "b*tch" because of my sarcastic ways...
Oh, well... if you don't appreciate a little sarcastic humor, chances are I don't want to get to know you anyway...
7haha..sun_sun...your sister reminds me of me. when someone asks me if im being sarcastic my answer is always "no, not at all" meh..maybe I am too sarcastic, but most people that know me know that thats how I am and just roll with it. I try not be saracstic around people that dont know me well enough to know Im being sarcastic, because Ive realized that most people take what Im saying seriously..and I dont want to offend people unless I have to.
8I couldn't survive without sarcasm. It's really hard for me not to be sarcastic.
9I'm with javsmav. I'm the same.
10I am totally against sarcasm.
11im sarcastic and my boyfriend is EXTREMELY sarcastic...sometimes people get offended by his sarcastic ways but i really feel like they should just get over it...learn to laugh and see the humor in all things!
12im very sarcastic. my bf sometimes takes it seriously... which gets us into bickering.
13I could not survive without sarcasm. I think every other sentence out of my mouth is sarcastic
14We live by sarcasim in my house/family and friends circle. But we are trying to stop because our daughter is 8, she is very smart and catches on to things really quickly, and naturally she's picked up our sarcastic ways and the girl can smack you down in an instant with a quick remark that will have your head spinning. And we HATE it. It's made us realize how horrible it can sound.
Of course she's learned from exerience it's not a good idea to use it towards her parents/elders. And her teacher surely doesn't appreciate her gift either.
So my sarcasim has been limited lately.
15sometimes when its unexpected sarcasm i dont understand that people are trying to make a joke and then i answer with a serious response and like make it awkward. haha
16sarcasm is the only way to be honest.
17I am a professional sarcastic. I've had to learn to rein it in because sooo many people take it the wrong way. My Dad is the same way and we have conversations that if anyone overheard they would really misinterpret what is going on! For all my love of sarcasm, I do sometimes have a hard time telling if someone else is sarcastic...especially in writing.
18There's a time and place for sarcasm. Generally, I'm not vicious about it, I'm silly.
If I'm upset, I'm very direct. I do not use sarcasm. I'm very blunt.
19the people who know and love me know when i am serious, and when i am being sarcastic. they are the only ones i care what they feel. everyone else can eat chimp-sh*t.
see, the chimp-sh*t comment might sound f*cked up, but my friends and family know that i care about people more than that. it's a joke.
20I too am very sarcastic. But I am usually sarcastic only around people who know that's how I converse. It's not "funny" when the person you're making the comment to doesn't see that it's sarcastic.
When I'm surrounded by ppl I don't know or are not comfortable with, I minimize and essentially eliminate it...which for me, keeps me very quiet and unable to hold a conversation (eh, oh well).
21At work, there is no sarcasm, just in your face abuse. LMAO.
everyone is pretty nice. but when i do my freelance stuff, you hear people say some f*cked up sh*t to people.
i went to drop some flat sketches off at one of my contracts, and the boss-lady was telling this girl that she just can't have her stupidity, because she's holding the entire operation down. and that maybe she shouldn't have hired her in the first place!
all the girl could do is sit there and take it. the boss-lady looked at my work and was please, and she went in her office to get something while i waited in the workroom. i felt so bad for the girl. i asked her when she was gonna take her lunch, and offered to take her to lunch.
she is a bit dizzy ( i found during that lunch), but she's a nice girl. she hasn't really been trained at her job. but that happens in fashion, everybody expects you to know what to do. like it all comes by osmosis.
22LMAO @ facin8me.
23I'm one of the most sarcastic people in the world and I know that it does sometimes bother other people but I can't help it. It's in my genes
24Sarcasm is hilarious. I am very sarcastic, but I guess some people just don't get it.
25I have been sarcastic pretty much all my life, but have been making a conscious effort to cut back - not kill - that. I like that about me, really, because it naturally follows my total "look." That sounds so dense, but if I opened my mouth, looking as lush as I do, and sounded like Olive Oyle, that would be such a disappointment to me - and the fellas! Deal!
26There is such a thing as too much sarcasm. After awhile it wears thin and if someone's dialogue is mostly sarcastic, it's tiresome. But sarcasm dropped in here and there with the right timing is great!
27I'm a very sarcastic person, but I (unlike some people) know when it's not appropriate.
28Sarcasm 24/8 for me!
29I am one of those "other's" who could do without it.
Are you sensing my sarcasm here?
Sorry. Grammar snobbishness aside, I realized long ago that even just a bit of sarcasm can make people really hate you. Use sparingly.
30I have a very dry sense of humor and people often take what I say the wrong way. I do love sarcam but I've definitely learned when it is not appropriate to use.
31Love. It. I can't live without it, I have a sarcastic remark about everything. It can get me into hot water at times (funeral, long story) but my one liner's are how I relieve my anxiety when I'm not comfortable. Most of the time though, it's just for fun.
32Im very sarcastic, my fiance calls me a smart ass all the time but its part of me. I can turn it off for work but once I have establish a friendly relationship with you...its on!
33Sarcasm is amazing.
34i am extremely sarcastic- its both my sense of humor and a defense mechanism. sometimes i take it too far but i usually realize that after the fact. i do try to make sure people know i am being sarcastic though, and those that know me well know i usually am being it.
35Sarcastic people in my book are pretty darn witty, but I admit, there are times when the comments are simply inappropriate and unsuitable for the situation.
36I'm sarcastic with everything!! I even talk sarcastically to the kids I work with and even they get it! So if an adult can't take my sarcasm, they can get off their high horse!
37Love it! I feel like it distinguishes people who actually have a sense of humor from those who don't. But like others have said, it is not appropriate in all circumstances.
38Sarcasm runs through my veins.
39heh, my boyfriend and i are probably the most sarcastic out of our friends =P. he's the king of snark. though it annoys the hell out of me when he gets sarcastic when we fight -- major pet peeve! so there's a time and a place sometimes...
40i majored in sarcasm
41My cousin is VERY sarcastic and for that reason I hardly ever attend her parties or just hang out with her! It wears thin very often...
42I'm sarcastic a lot of the time. but the only time I avoid it is during fights. I think it has no place when you're actually angry- it's not constructive communication, and I don't want to end up arguing for 2 hours on that "I KNOW how you meant it because I HEARD you" statement.
43I believe that sarcasm has a time and a place, and, like anything else, when over used it looses it's meaning. Sarcasm is an artform that not many know how to use.
44How does the quote go..."sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin"? But it's my second language since I have lots of suppressed anger. LOL
45I am sarcastic all the time with my fiance, some family and some friends. When I'm with the rest of them, I try not to be as snippy, and more serious. Anyway, my fiance and I have gotten into fights over stuff that was meant to be sarcastic but taken differently.
I am not sarcastic to be hurtful or b*tchy, but as a different way of being playful and funny. And yes, it is an artform a lot of people don't understand how to use.
