Respond differently to jokes

Hey, you were waiting for me, weren’t you? ….

It would be unpleasant if someone called me now

understood
time
receive
not hurt
creative
puns

I think people who want to meet someone after 11pm are pretty weird people.
Or maybe they’re too busy with work to do what they want after 11 p.m.
Anyway, I was shopping for groceries and carrying a heavy bag. So, it goes without saying that I didn’t want anyone to call me.
But, perhaps predictably, I was walking down a dark street when my phone vibrated.
I didn’t have anything particularly important to do, but I decided to meet with him.
The meeting place was about 10 minutes away on foot.
No one was in front of the designated store. After a while, someone’s footsteps approached.

Hey, you were waiting for me, weren’t you?

What are the conditions for a joke to work?
The conditions for a joke to be understood include the following elements.
Right Time: Jokes should be said at the right time for the occasion or situation. It will be easier to receive if the place is bright and you say it in a relaxed atmosphere.
Appropriate People: Jokes should be told to people who are easy to receive. It’s important to consider the other person’s sensibilities and tastes, and tell them when they are likely to enjoy the joke.
Non-Aggression: Jokes should be for fun and should not hurt or offend the other person. It’s important to joke around with just the right amount of kindness and consideration.
Creative Elements: Jokes like to be unpredictable and unexpected. Having creative ideas and unique points of view increases the chances of a more interesting joke.
Wordplay and puns: Skillful use of word sounds and puns is another element that makes jokes work. Incorporating wordplay can make the listener laugh.
Keeping these things in mind, you’ll be more effective at producing laughter by telling jokes that are tailored to the person you’re talking to. However, since everyone responds differently to jokes, it may be difficult to come up with a joke that everyone will understand. Observe the other person’s reactions and feedback, and try to enjoy appropriate jokes.
