Let’s talk about: Making Fun of Others

Example 1

Would you help me out in Fastening my shoe laces?
I understand you are old enough to fasten your shoe laces yourself!

When others annoy you by making fun of you...
This practice is known as Mockery.

Example 2

Ha Ha Ha Ha! The dirty bear is yet unable to fasten his shoe laces!!
Hee Hee Hee Ho!

Example 3

Has some one ever at all made fun of the way you dressed up?

Ha Ha Ha Ha!.. .. He has dressed himself up the way stupid people do!
Hee, Hee, He ...

Example 4

Has some one ever at all made fun of your thinking style and sentiments?

I cannot believe it that you cry like this just for a silly film! Hi Hi Hi Hi ....

Example 5

Has somebody ever laughed at what you say or do?

You still use helping wheels like the beginners Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi....

Example 6

Have some one ever made fun of anything which you like or do not like?

Only a trash eater like you can possibly eat such a thing! Ha Ha Ha Ha...

Example 7

Whenever someone makes fun of you, you feel ashamed, disgraced and perturbed.
And it is possible that you may even lose your temper and become angry and furious

Ah! How much you overtax and end up my patience!!

Example 8

Usually, those who make fun of others mostly take pleasure from annoying and vexing others. And enjoy making others furious. So, therefore, if you show to such persons that you have become annoyed or lost your temper, you only make them happy.

Example 9

If you want to stop those who make fun of others from this practice try not to indicate that you are annoyed or have lost your temper.

For this purpose ignore those who laugh at you and do not care about what they say.

If it is not possible for you to overlook them then take distance from them. And try not to get close to them till such time they continue like this.

Example 10

It is very important that you treat others just the same way you wish to be treated by them.
If you do not like others making fun of you, then you also do not make fun of others

Now that he has fallen down from his bicycle it is my turn to laugh at him.
But no ..... I will not do it, this is really not a good thing to do!

Example 11

It is better that you avoid talking about the problems that you do not wish others may discuss. I mean that you never at all reveal the secrets and confidential affairs of others

Good Day!
How do you do!

He has told me that he does not like this friend of his.
And he has wished me not to talk about it to any one so
I too will not tell that to anybody!

Example 12

It is better that you avoid saying such things which cause the annoyance of someone, particularly, in presence of others.

Think of it. ... If his friends come to know that he still wets his bed, what would they say.

Example 13

It is better that you refrain from talking such things which harm others.

Look, now, he too became a hair dresser that one I visited.
How badly has he trimmed my hair!

Look at his hair .... If I tell him he has gone to the worst hair dresser he would be much annoyed!

Example 14

A good manner you must remember is that: “if you cannot utter beautiful words then better do not at all say a thing”.

If you observe this rule then rest assured that you will never harm anyone.

What an ugly shirt ..... I don't like it at all.

But if I tell him about it, certainly, he would get much annoyed. So it is better that I must at all not talk about this subject.

Example 15

Making fun of others harms them, so better never do it at all.

You are the most regular man that I know!
