There was one moment during the earlier (not early, but earlier) days of the internet where the symbol of sarcasm was Chandler Bing of Friends (1994–2004) fame. His iconic nervous fake laughter became the visual representation of the comedic concept—in fact, the page that does that is still around.

Since then, sarcasm has become commonplace on the internet, but, at the same time, there’s so much to discover in this genre of comedy that there is never enough of it. So, maybe this curated list brought to you by Scent of Sarcasm sates that appetite. For now.

    Scent of Sarcasm is actually a candle-crafting venture based in the U.S. Its entire thing revolves around pouring and crafting sarcastic and heartfelt soy candles, each being big mood.

    The assortment of candles revolves around feelings ramped up to 11 that we all feel like feeling sometimes, yet can’t really voice it because we live in a society. But, hey, we can channel that into a candle that will passive-aggressively fill our room with scents that are the opposite of violence—a contradictory approach to fuel the raging emotional wreck inside us all.

    Feel like giving up? There’s a [Duck] This [Shirt] candle. Love someone beyond belief? Express your adoration in the form of bodily harm (and possible kleptomania). Need a candle for an occasion? All you get is one for birthdays so shut up and buy one for your promiscuous friends.

    I'm going against the grain here and say that unless the people in said fanciest house are douches to begin with, there's no reason to do this when someone politely asks you to keep it down for one afternoon in the entire year because of a wedding. The fact that it's the fanciest house holds no relevance.

    considering they didn't even have the decency to actually talk to nay of the people, and just put letters in the mailboxes of everyone , they are douches by default

    No, it's because they (the fanciest-house-owners) have the audacity to demand that everybody else caters to them and their ridiculous whims, but they don't even have the guts to ask their neighbors personally and instead just drop those s****y letters. I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that there's a backstory involving them and the lawnmowing neighbor. I once saw a post of a letter in a similar vein where the parents of a child with some kind of nutritional issue expected their neighbors to only hand out specific kind of treats on Halloween that would be ok to eat for their kid, but to ALL the kids.

    We had someone knock on our door last summer to let us know that they were having their son's bar mitzvah party in their garden so there would be noise and to pre apologise if we found it too loud. Turned out that as they lived in the next road along at the other end, we didn't here a thing.

    I don’t really see the issue unless said neighbors are terrible. But to all these people saying “should’ve just invited the neighbors”, really?? Maybe I’m just the d**k here but I wouldn’t really want a bunch of people, most of whom I probably don’t know that well, at my wedding. As if weddings aren’t expensive enough…

    Why not? A letter is even the most practical, just pin it to your fridge. I think it is a normal thing to do to ask/inform the neighbourhood this way, when it involves multiple neighbours. Do you expect them to ring at 10 to 20 houses on the day before the wedding to ask this? And return several times, because nobody is home? They have enough stress and work with preparations for the wedding. And fancy house, what is this supposed to mean? A billionaire living in simple neighbourhood and showing off - or just people who prioritize different than others? I too distribute letters in the vilage at New Years Eve, asking politely to not throw bombs (the Dutch type of fun fireworks are military level grenades) at the horses in the pasture at the back of the houses. I am certainly not doing house visits, I don't know when these people are home and several rent their house out as holiday home.

    I have a friend, cleaning holiday homes. She sometimes has to clean an absolute chaos, more iften it is left nice and neat. This is Europe, so none of these strange stories circulating on BP are a reality. Because she has to clean up an occasionable mess, she states that she leaves her room, when on holiday, too in chaos. As payback to an entirely innocent cleaner. We then had a talk about Karma and decency.

    If they have been cordial in the past with no demands on their neighbors I would say be gracious and keep the noise down. If they are entitled snob who always demand from their neighbors I say "fire up the lawnmowers, chain saws, weedwhackers & hedge trimmers.

    My neighbour is a total douchebag. To get revenge for his endless petty acts, when he had his daughters engagement party in his garden his wife (he is not allowed onto our property to knock at our door) came round to borrow some garden chairs (which we gave them) and kind-of asked us and our two young children to keep the noise down. So 10 minutes into the party I decided to jet-wash my patio. I even let it run when I went inside for dinner

    The other side of the Scent of Sarcasm’s Instagram page is a collection of screenshots that perfectly encapsulate the 11 (probably) shades of sarcasm. The screen-grabs come from Twitter and feature random people’s thoughts and sarcastic remarks about modernity, society, relationships and everything else that truly matters.

    It’s things like two people getting disconnected from a call and neither of them calling back (because who likes calling anyone these days?), having an ex randomly send you $200 as an apology for not working out, and, people’s fave, the baby jar (every time parents mention babies, put in a coin and then spend it on whatever).

    You know, things people painfully relate to and can’t but resound the same sentiments.

    Speaking of sarcasm, writer and IT dude John Spacey discussed the 11 types of sarcasm in quite some detail. In general, sarcasm is a provocative statement that’s meant to make people crack up or to insult them. The most notable forms of sarcasm are irony and satire, but John also points out how things like banter, self-deprecation and passive aggression can have sprinkles of sarcasm in them.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Needless to say, sarcasm is good for you. Besides a healthy dose of everything that’s excreted by our bodies during laughing, research also suggests sarcasm boosts creativity and makes your brain work harder for a number of reasons.

    The best part is that you can’t overdose on it because the only known side effect of it is becoming a cynical bastard, increasing the risks of self-alienation and a punch in the face by people who don’t understand the finer things in life.
