There was this very entertaining but cringe-worthy YT video about bizarre neighbors. It happened in Utah, but as a joke some guy said "Is this in Florida? I feel like this is in Florida." That tickled me because my family is in FL and I know about the funny things that happen and I read recently about weird legal cases in that state. I responded that I know about the crazy in FL; I remember there was a year when like 8(?) times it happened that someone drove into a post office. (Why is it always the post office?).
It garnered the half-stated threat "you better watch your mouth" which was directly written to me, not the other guy who made the joke in the first place. I wanted to say "...or what?" but why sink to that level? Instead I calmly stated that I was making a joke about the state my family is from and that threats were unnecessary. I also pointed out that it was directed at me only and why was that? I reported her for bullying/harassment and blocked her.
What is this, 6th grade? Is she going to come to WI and beat me up in the school yard? I don't get angry when people tell jokes about my home state; there's a lot of truth in them! And I make fun of the state I currently live in all the time.
Tell me, was what I posted really that offensive? Even so, it could've been handled better, I think. Something along the lines of "Hey, I live in FL and not everyone's like that." I would've apologized on the spot. But this, it's childish.
