I know exactly how you fell, some of my house mates at university have a wild imagintion and think up little things they can talk about tat they think is funny. One of thier friends has been the bud of the same joke for nearly 2 years and it probably will not let up, but he manages to put up with it. How I don't know, he is a wierd lad but aren't we all. Razz

I say Take life with a pinch of salt, but if theres two much salt on your plate send it back you don't have to put up wit shite like that!

I have the same problem. People will often say something jokingly or sarcastic and I take it at face value. After I realize they were only joking I feel like such a fool because I've made an ass out of myself. Embarassed It only seems to happen when I'm really nervous and anxious.

I have the same problem too. Sad
And people often tell me disappointedly: "can you take a joke?"
