I tend to joke around a lot, particularly at work as it can be pretty stressful (expectations can be pretty crazy considering it's a low to minimum wage job depending on the year/time of year and if the company wants to give out their typical low 3% raise) and joking around usually helps to ease tension.
The only thing is some people don't like being joked around with, it can be something that couldn't even be misconstrued as offensive and some people still get offensive at it and yell at me
I don't take it to heart, but depending on the person and how I'm feeling that day it can ruin the mood.
so I've come to find out who I can joke with, who i can't, what kinds of things really get people going (which i avoid as I'm trying to ease the day for me and it can help others if they aren't so wound up tight, grumpy, and miserable all the time).
Some people even think I'm a jerk (or worse) because everything is serious to them regardless of what you do/say and the intent behind it (I know intent doesn't matter, but I don't get in trouble as it's not an offensive/harassing thing so really all they can do is call me names if they don't like the joking around).
I actually think it can be funny at times how mad people get just from a little joking around.
