I met a person on one of my trips.He was travel ling with his family and friends.He was pulling everybody's legs and cracking jokes at everybody's expense.He commented on each and everyone's appearance with a funny comment but some body from his group made a funny remark on him,I saw a big change come on his face,he became angry with the person,which made a personal remark and started abusing him very badly.I was taken aback at this change of scene.He was pulling everybody's legs and cracking jokes at their expense,but suddenly he became angry when jokes were cracked by others at his expense.Do you think this is correct.In many instances I have seen many people making fun of others,but when they become the target they cant tolerate it.Do you think it is good?

If you can dish it out you have to take it too, it works both ways. I would steer clear of this kind of person, his nastiness and vindictiveness and cruel streak, if he is like this to strangers what is he like this to his family? The same or different? Sometimes people who have low self esteem or have issues will deflect their weaknesses by casting aspersions on others and so takes the focus off them. They are similar to bullies. They are not jokes if they are demeaning and critical. One day he is going to say the wrong thing to the wrong person and will get smacked or worse for his efforts.

That person is utterly insane! he makes fun of other people to amuse himself and the others and when the tables are turned, he gets mad? How crazy can he get? If he doesn't want to be mocked, then he should learn himself to shut up!

Hi friend, his activity is really unfair, but most of the people are in this sort, they are interested in making fun and jokes about others and they don't have the ability to tolerate if some one made a joke about them. It is quite natural for all humans. We must avoid joking about other persons based on their personality and appearance as we are not responsible for our personality.

I've noticed too that some people can hand out the jokes but they cannot receive them. It is a particularly nasty trait.
There must be some psychological reason why they joke at other people's expense but I do not know any such 'comedian' personally so I've no idea about this kind of mental attitude of ridicule. It is a kind of bullying really, when I think about it. People rarely respond because they are afraid of another attack and they may not feel sharp enough to defend themselves.
The best attitude to someone like this is to simply ignore him and avoid all eye contact. Then he has little to go on if he turns his attention to you.

He got what he deserved. He dished it out, but couldnt take it.
