If I am asked politely, with a please and thank you, to do something I have no problem with it 99% of the time.

But if you just drop hints, are rude AF, or straight up demand something, even if I get the hint it makes me not want to do whatever it is you want.

Sometimes I pretend to take sarcasm or joke statements seriously because I don't know how to react to it otherwise.

Me too. Also I'll often do the opposite where I make a joke but with no tone change to indicate it as such. People will either get mad at me for being wrong or else they will praise my brilliant deadpan humour.

haha same! Half the time I'm a comedic genius, and the other half, I look like an idiot. (ok, maybe it's 60/40. or 5/95.)

People who scoff or laugh a little and want you to ask what's so funny or interesting. Not on the Spektrum but I ignore them because I hate that shit.

Would you rather they tell you umprompted, or keep it to themselves?

[–] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Either is ok. Just not trying to... idk socially manipulate me into asking them so they can tell me something. I don't know how common that is tbh, only had two colleagues like that so far, it just annoys me.
