Do you dislike when someone laughs over their own joke? If yes, why? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I keep hearing about how you shouldn't laugh over your own jokes but when I watch a video or listen to a podcast, I find it much more authentic and likable when they laugh over their own jokes in a conversation. You know, vibes.

My coworker has that kind of sense of humor where he always says the obvious joke you're hoping nobody will make. Then he laughs, and for some reason, everyone else does.

Also, whenever he helps someone and they thank him, he says, "That will be 10 dollars," and then laughs about his joke.

The reason i hate it is this: He's a lazy, quiet-quitting asshole who everyone likes. I, on the other hand, work my butt off. I appreciate a witty, clever sense of humor. However, I'm socially awkward, so nobody likes me!

Did we change what quiet quitting means again? Doing his job and nothing more is a bad thing now?

Doing the least amount possible to keep a job puts pressure on coworkers to take up the slack. I work in an ER, not an office. When someone is in the bathroom texting, more than they are out on the floor helping its shitty, yes.

Being a liability isn't what I would consider most people's definition of quiet quitting, especially in that sort of environment.

You may be right, but it was a quick and dirty way of making my point. I didn't expect the Reddit Inquisition to be here yet.

"Everything i don't like is reddit" you could have just ignored me instead of being butthurt about it

It was a joke. I originally wrote Spanish Inquisition, but thought it was funnier to call it the Reddit Inquisition. Sorry for my buttholiness.

Nobody expects the Reddit Inquistion!
