Why would someone make a joke, and then get offended when people laugh?

If I was going to be offended at somebody laughing at a joke I made about something like a personal tragedy, I wouldn’t make the joke in the first fucking place.

I am exclusively talking about someone making a joke about their own situation. Seems odd to use humor to cope but get pissed when people go along with it.

A stand up comedian had to give the audience “permission” to laugh at jokes she made about a personal thing, I found it odd she even had to do that. Made me wonder why people are so dumb.
