I used to be really into mutual ribbing-based humor. What I learned was that it's pretty fun, until you misjudge the situation. IMO it's not worth it overall.

Saying sorry and meaning it, and never repeating what you did gets you out of that sorta situations gracefully.

A successful apology takes two people.

I was taught as kid that what I have to is to say (and be) sorry. What the other person does is not my responsibility. Some people can't take apology and there's not much you can or should do about it

Then just talk about it. Set boundaries. My friends and I are relentless but have topics and boundaries which are taboo. Just grow together.

Do you think the people in these twitter screenshots all talked about boundaries before talking shit about people they don't know?

Keep clutching your pearls. Or just let it be a little dumb but altogether funny experience from some irish blokes.

I mean it's Ireland, the boundaries are the borders of the country. If you live there and you dislike banter it's on you.
