    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.

      I don’t understand why everyone calls me a monster. I just kicked those puppies to cheer a crying girl up.
