One time, I tried to make a playful joke in a group chat about a mutual friend’s obsession with coffee, saying something like, “You drink so much coffee, I’m surprised you’re not from Seattle!” I expected everyone to chuckle, but instead, it fell flat, and the friend took it a bit personally. I learned that humor can be pretty subjective, and context matters a lot! What about you? Do you have a similar experience?
