when sarcasm backfires. it is hmm pathetic.
sarcasm means...
1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
bro: can help me get the hardcopy form? (form b i supposed)
sis: orn. i will check it out during lunch
bro: thx sis
sis: heh heh welcome. so polite
sis: might not be able to get it. i will enquire later.
bro: it's just a blank form, wads so mysterious abt it.
sis: prob need you to produce yr id card to verify details?
bro: anw my ic no is blah blah
well apparently the queue is freaking long and flooded with tax payers. it's the peak.. it's a norm and i didnt get the form.
bro:any hiccups?
sis:yeah the queue is freakin long. anyway you can e-file.
well to cut it short, his pin was locked due to some errors and he couldnt get thru the hotline
hotline is called a hotline for a reason.
bro:i called so many times and nobody picks up. wonder if your coy has only one employee.
(yeah as if u r the only tax payer)
being courteous i didnt say that.
sis: it's the peak season.. you should come down and take a look.
see what service management has taught me? service manners :) well okie not really polite but it beats saying as if u r the only tax payer.
exercise sarcasm with caution.. esp when your little sis is a princess of sarcasm.
