Sarcasm is supposed to make the victim? realize that what they're saying or doing is silly or stupid or making them seem like an ass. That's exactly why people who get it react so strongly. Most people don't like being called silly, stupid, or asslike. Always try to remember that the sarcastic person is trying to couch it in a joke. They're trying to soften the blow instead of calling you an ass. Be thankful, and point it out when friends get pissed at your sarcasm.
