Either is ok. Just not trying to… idk socially manipulate me into asking them so they can tell me something. I don’t know how common that is tbh, only had two colleagues like that so far, it just annoys me.
They can at least verbalize that they saw something funny so that I know they’re actually willing/ready to share because I hate asking and then waiting as they finish watching/reading/texting.
Understandable. Though from my end, I wouldn’t want to say “I just saw something funny” because to me that’s socially obligating them to ask what it is, and maybe they’re not interested. I prefer doing the laugh because that gives them the choice of whether they want to ask. Though on the other end, I can imagine not wanting to ask because maybe it wasn’t something the laugher wanted to share.
Would you rather they tell you umprompted, or keep it to themselves?
