Why can you use humour with people & have a good time? But the same humour with someone else offends them & they avoid you, yet the offended person will dismiss the same kind of humour from another person as 'just the way they are' & still talk to them?

It all depends on how comfortable you are with the person who's making the jokes. For instance, me and my best female friend call each other the B word in jest constantly, but if someone that I just met and wasn't familiar with called me the same thing, we'd have a BIG problem. I think it depends on the individual, honestly.

That's a long complex question that can be answered in four words: Each individual is unique.

Each and every individual is different. That's what makes us all unique. You can't please everyone, so just be yourself and do what you think is right. :)

You never know where someone else is coming from and what they may be sensitive too...it may seem trivial to most, but for them it could be the tip of the ice burg to something in their life. Hopefully they can move on knowing you didn't intentionally try to hurt them, after all you were just trying to be funny. HaHaHa! : )

People are different, have different tastes and react differently when their sensibilities are offended. It's all part of life's rich tapestry, or as a colleague in my first job used to say, it's all part of life's tatty carpet. Shortly after that, he hanged himself.
