    To a colleague arriving 10 mins late: “Afternoon.”

    To a colleague arriving 10 mins early: “Shat the bed?”

      As someone who’s been hearing impaired my whole life, yes. The urge to punch the person in the face right at that moment sometimes seems irresistible.

        I’d like to believe I’d still have that reaction to this “joke” even if my hearing was fine, still I do agree with you that it’s really extra infuriating when explaining a genuine hearing issue

    Three moles were digging a tunnel. One of the moles farts. The next mole says, “smells like rutabagas”. The next mole says, “smells like carrots”.

    After a long pause, the first mole turns to the last mole that has not spoken yet and asks what they smell.

    The last mole says “molasses” and gets back to digging.

      I read this joke when I was maybe 13 and I never understood it. More than a decade later I was randomly driving around and I remembered this joke and got it.

    I have been unfortunate enough to hear various racist and/or homophobic jokes over the years, so probably one of them

    It’s a toss-up between Elon Musk and people saying “WHAT?!” when I tell them I’m hearing impaired.
