:lolol:

but :notwrong: my oh my what a world to be alive in when the $80k car is for the poors.

Also, I had a joke that landed real far off with @chalupabatman's new GF. My first meeting her with him went well. Beers had, good time all around. I caught a ride home with them. Her sister live's near my house but in the same hood as :fax: . She mixed up which hood was her sisters with one that is approx 50-100% more expensive in house options.

Me: "oh so they dont live in that one?"
her: no they are the next one down.
Me: "oh so they live in the one for the poors?"
her: SUPER :triggered:

i couldnt recover from her being so angry for jokingly saying her sister living in a $250k house instead of a $500k was "poor". :sad:
My city is divided down the middle by a major road. For some reason, one side is big houses on big lots, the other is small houses jammed together on small lots. City is called "Pleasant Ridge", but most refer to the smaller side as "Peasant Ridge".

We met some people that just bought a house on that side, and I told the woman "Welcome to Peasant Ridge"

She responded: "why does everyone keep calling it that?! We're not peasants!"

My wife: "But to us you are..." :roasted:
Woman: :triggered:

Most people are used to it and laugh it off, others get really touchy.
:lolol:
Your wife is hilarious.

Oh, same here! The "poor side" of our city is nicer than any of the surrounding areas. Most people know it's a joke.

In this day, having "Thick skin" simply means "Be glad I didn't post about it on Twitter and call for a boycott and doxxing of you!"

She'd light this place up so bad that it'd be a wasteland when she's done. We don't want that, trust me.

Sounds like you're living a double life.

Good luck Brother. May the two never collide and cause you any grief.

She's just really cold and direct. ZFG about people's "feelings". She keeps facebook around just to troll people on news comments and gets a kick out of making people :triggered:

She'd manage to :triggered: every single member on here into quitting within a day.

She wouldn't care about my involvement here, but I like my safe space.

Sounds a lot like my wife. I often have to remind her to play nice when talking to others. she has very little filter or concern how a blunt opinion may seem to others.

She's a smartass though, and that is precisely why we click.

I find that the ones who boast about having thick skin are usually the ones who could get offended by a knock-knock joke.
