      Jeez, girl is crying and having a hard time, someone makes a joke to cheer her up. You call that a dick move?

        There are ways to cheer someone up without bullying someone else

            You cheer them up by telling them that at least they don’t have to deal with [insert bad present from an ex here] and she doesn’t have to buy any extra presents this year.

            If that doesn’t work, you base it off of their exes’ behavior: for example if they got sloppy drunk, you say that at least she doesn’t need to DD/babysit this year. If they were loud, you say that at least she’s not going to suffer permanent hearing damage.

        I didnt think this needed to be said but making a joke at a bystanders expense, particularly a hurtful personal attack, is not ok.
        Sure jokes are give and take with some good natured ribbing but this strays more into carless, or potentially malicious territory.
