Is not laughing at jokes a sign of disrespect/attitude

[8777BB5]

My girlfriend told me today at her job she and one of her coworkers named Steve got into a heated argument because she didn't laugh at any of the jokes Steve made while he was giving his presentation at the morning meeting (To give an example of how bad they were one of his jokes was the old Orange you glad I didn't say banana) Steve was so angry about her not laughing at any of his lame jokes that he called her a nasty bitch and ordered her to leave the meeting room because he claimed that by not laughing at the jokes she was giving him attitude and being very disrespectful.

I wish I could say that this was an isolated incident but I myself have had similar encounters where a person (Usually a teacher or instructor) will get super angry when you don't laugh at their lame jokes or stupid puns because they view it as disrespectful. I fail to see how it is, because when something is unfunny it should be pointed out

Not laughing at someone's jokes is a micro aggression.

Personally, I usually never laugh at others joke. I think Steve is just extremely self-centered and egotistical.

Sounds like Steve needs to STFU and git gud with his comedy material.

Calling her a nasty bitch for not laughing at his orange banana joke is a bit excessive. I did laugh one time at the orange you glad joke, when my little cousin told it, he was 5. That's the only time you should laugh at lame jokes, when little kids tell them.

Not laughing at someone else's joke is humorphobic.

I think Steve needs to be beaten and then play a laugh track while he bleeds to death on the floor

Sounds like someone needs a dick in his mouth

If you don’t laugh at a joke, it either means you don’t like the person, or you don’t find the joke to be funny.

If you expect people to laugh at your jokes you're a cunt. It subverts the entire purpose of humor.

Not laughing at jokes is one of the major signs of autism just saying

 

[OhGoy]

if the joke isn't funny, don't laugh

or silently walk away like i did when a random guy tells you a generic chuck norris joke

 

[Sylvie Paula Paula]

No, and if you think it is that's stupid.

Just tell her to start laughing after every sentence he says. If she laughs after every single one, he'll surely be happy about how hilarious he is!

Okay, I can see being slightly off put by someone not laughing at your joke, but just shrug and move on. "Nasty bitch, get out of my meeting room" is excessive. Humor is subjective, Stevie-boy. Not laughing means she didn't find you funny, not that she was disrespecting you. Get over yourself.

Although, throwing out the old "Orange you glad" joke is an objective sign that you need to work on your material.

Your girlfriend is a bitch and definitely a roastie as well.

Is this an @autisticdragonkin post?

 

[Dirt McGirt]

Did he put some shitty homemade "memes" in a slideshow too? Cause he sounds like the type who would.

Steve needs to troon out.

If the joke is shit, it's not a hit.
Move on, it doesn't matter. Steve is a little bitch.
Am I miffed when my jokes whiff?
Hell yes, but you don't see me autistically chasing down each person that rated me dumb or deviant, just so my posts go on without a hitch.
