Did you ever ask a question on Answers for fun but all the respondents took you seriously?

Question

Some people can't recognise jokes. This, to me, is very sad. Include a link to your example or just tell me about it. Thanks!

Answer 1

Every time...

Answer 2

Well....jokes apart, but I wish to state here some people have habit of jumping immediately on conclusion. I mean to say here for example.....I had put a question here (not like joke...but it was an incident from a novel) about relationship between a man and wife. But Holy God.....almost all answeres (54 in total) bombarded me with their express replies as if I was 'that husband' in the story and sent me directly to hell..... except few buddies none of them thought may be the incident was not happened with the asker. I was really terrified to see those slangs and it was nightmare for me.
Ofcourse next morning I clarified the situation in detailed manner and put once again the real fact in same category....and thank God at least 35 answerers tendered their sincere apology.

Well.....I learn one thing from this experience, that anybody who wish to put anything with Yahoo Q&A must be specific so as not to make chaos.

Answer 3

Haha. Definitely. It appears as if the favorite thing for rednecks to do is to show how tough they are on Yahoo Answers. Even when I type something as a joke someone will almost always say, "Quit yer whinin." I find that kind of funny in itself. One time I even typed a sarcastic question directed to rednecks that went, "Why dontcha quit yer whinin and why dontcha get yerself a job?" I got about 10 responses and most were like, "Right on brother!" A few people reported me because they claimed what I typed wasn't a question. It was classic. Employment is a good topic to bait rednecks with. Something like, "Why dontcha get out there and get yerself a minimum wage job at Wal-Mart like mama?"

Answer 4

I dont exactly fulfil ur criterion, however, I asked a question as to how to cure "Erectile Dysfunction." And believe me what i received was condolences for my absolutely fine 'THING' rather than have any knowledgeable answer and I really felt like an impotent on that day (pun intended). Yes it can be hillarious as well as it makes you apalled at others perception and their way of linking subjects with objects. Answerw you can check by checking y questions and yes, for the e-mails i received i cant forward you the web page that wont appar.

Thanks btw u a psycoanalyst?

Answer 5

Recognizing a joke in written words, particularly if they are poorly written, is sometimes difficult. Like with emails, you can't see facial expressions or hear voice inflections.

So if you are asking a question for fun, be sure to say so. Many people aren't mind readers and while something may be obvious to you, it probably isn't to other people. And sadly, that's YOUR problem, and not the problem of the readers.

Answer 6

Yeah I asked a question about Schwartznigger being the antichrist because of Nostradomus predictions. I had a bunch of Republicans ranting and raving. Just a joke ppl. Take it easy.

Answer 7

Your first mistake is believing that other people have the same sense of humor that you do. Take it from one that has a really sick sense of humor: They don't! *LOL*

In the future, if you plan on making a humorous point, perhaps it would benefit you to add a post script at the end informing the readers that this is a light hearted attempt at humor.

I'm sure the results you reap will be better accepted.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 8

yea I know exactly what you mean, nobody knows how to have fun anymore! Those jerks

I don't need to give a link for an example, take answerer numbers 1 & 2 for example.

Answer 9

No, but I did ask a question without getting any answers! Not even a joking answer. I needed something. I wonder how many questions have gone unanswered.

Answer 10

I know some questions are for fun,, but i would never ask a question like that, cause that's just extra carpal tunnel for nothing. I ask questions that i wonder about but havev no way of finding out from books

Answer 11

I have asked some pretty darn serious questions, and I never get any responses. They just like questions about masturbating, boogers, poopoo, things like that. This is a forum for retards, and I am Mr. Retarded Caca Face Man.
