Our mothers’ advice still rings in our ears:
“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
But sometimes our inner-snark gets the best of us.

I surely got my morning laugh with this one. I had to share it with… you guessed it,..my co-workers! I think we’re all guilty at one time or another of feeling that way, but this just tickled my funny bone. Thanks .

Hi Dawn,
Giad to hear to you could laugh at these. We certainly did!
Rich
I sure did get a kick out of these, and I’ve been known to say things like this at work and in public. It’s a wonder I’m still employed, lol
These were perfect! I had to share as well. I had to tell those that I shared with, “no, I did not write them, yes, I know I use them.” LOL
Thank you! Such a much needed break when everything is too serious.
Some very funny stuff!!

My sister is snarky and it is difficult to be around her. Just like the examples, she is critical, sarcastic in a mean way and always finds fault with me. I stopped visiting her often because aside from being “snarked at” for a week, she is always mad at me for something. When I leave to return home, I ALWAYS leave with a snarky remark and is mad at me. She will find something to be angry with me about. Will always find something. She likes to argue and wants to debate just about everything I say to her. This has always been the dynamic between us, where she is angry with me and does not hesitate to put me down regardless of me going out of my way to please her. NO MORE. I got the genetic lottery of the family regarding looks and compares her 5’2″ daughter to my 5’8″ daughter. Unfortunately, she has passed this on to her daughter and being around both of them is too much. I told her she is snarky and she and her daughter treat me like an unwanted third wheel. Leaves me feeling worthless and has a rude comment about most things I say. During a recent small-business interview, I met with the owner and he was snarky. Needless to say, I am not taking the job as I do not like being around this critical, negative, controlling energy. I know too well how it affects me and would not be happy there.
Your sister needs to seek a therapist/counselor immediately. I’m a supervisor and whenever any of my staff is ‘snarky’ I put an end to this immediately. Snarky comments does not belong in a workplace environment—just like bullying is NOT allowed in a school environment. I hope she seeks help.
These are perfectly timed for my Monday morning!! I DO think these… sometimes too regularly!! The laughter is sooo needed right now in all this seriousness.
Thank you!!
