Hahaha ♥️ no it's not a bit.
Are you doing a bit tho?
I’m not doing a bit! If I were doing a bit I would have just asked if you were doing a bit, but I felt it was a little too on the nose in this context. Temptation was there, though.
Haha I was doing a bit asking though! Going for the recursive loop. Thanks for taking it seriously and answering sincerely though
As someone who likes to do bits with a straight face to rile up the more earnest people in my life, I consider it proper etiquette to admit to doing a bit the moment someone either takes the bait fully or asks if I’m being serious. It’s sort of like catch and release fishing, but instead of fish it’s people who aren’t terminally irony poisoned.
Yeah I sort of have the same attitude. Dead-pan sarcasm can be incredibly funny, but you should not leave people hanging in doubt.
