15 reasons humor fails at work

1. You tell a joke and nobody gets it.
2. Nobody likes people who affix cuss-words in every sentence. Why would they like a joke in every minute?!
3. You just outdid the smartest guy in the group, the self-appointed official jester.
4. You believe that cracking up relieves tension but nobody else agrees.
5. You like making fun of others but you do not like anyone making fun of you.
6. The person who is the current butt of jokes is going through a painful personal experience.
7. You have drawn attention of the entire group to physical, mental, cultural, sartorial, culinary or familial attributes of your colleague.
8. You have unknowingly offended a member of the group in the past, and he/she has decided not to laugh at your jokes anymore.
9. Your stab at humor is actually an attempt at humble-bragging.
10. You are telling a joke to a group of colleagues, and a late entrant walk in. the entire group then logs out of your joke and laughs at the quizzical look on the late-comer’s face.
11. Everyone takes her and his work seriously.
12. There are jokes that are ill-placed and there are jokes that are ill-timed.
13. Everybody hates the boss and the boss laughs at your joke.
14. You have said it once too often.
15. You are reading out loud a forwarded Whatsapp message.
