I really dislike people who mock others, and pull the piss out of them in front of other people. If the mocked person gets offended, the perpetrator says 'it's all in good fun and don't take it personally'. How can you not take it personally? Did the offender pull the piss out of the brick wall behind you? No, they pulled the piss out the poor bugger sitting in front of it. My logic is, some people do that to make themselves look funny and smart in front of their mates at somebody else's expense. What is your logic? Why do you think people do it?

People who make fun of others are doing it because they are insecure about themselves. They get a feeling of superiority when they are able to put someone down beneath their own lowliness. They are also known as adult bullies.

Making fun of others even in jest, becomes old real fast. I don't see why people feel the need to do that. Somtimes I think people do it just to get under the other persons skin, who knows. I just wish people would offer nice words instead of saying and doing things that makes others feel bad. Must be some kind of an ego boost for them.

I think many people make funny of someone else because of insecurities of their own. I am like you I do not like to see someone belittled or made fun of in front of everyone else. It's rude and obnoxious. I don't believe hte old don't take it personally. If they hadn't meant it they wouldn't have said it.

I think people are generally very insecure. We put our insecurities on display by attempting to make others feel like crap to make ourselves feel superior. We all do it in our own way.
We judge, compare ourselves to others, we look in the mirror and not like what we see.
I think this guy you were speaking of, is just being human. A real jerk, but a human.

They do it because the have not come up against someone who will fight back and make an example out of them.
