Funny old story:
When I would zing someone in humorous social dialog, I ran into a seasoned salesman ( at a college job, at the local newspaper distribution office, often at VERY EARLY morning hours ):
- I would zing this guy (in a humorus way)
As we are joking around, and he would say:
“I hate you Jeff”
in a very relaxed and jovial manner… I was very taken with his sense of humor!
And he meant that in a very loving and personal way.
He was genuinly having fun, and wanted to point out my humor was pointed and slightly caustic..
and as long as I laughed, took it in a positive way, all was forgiven.
I came to quote that line in social banter myself. Somebody zings me in a great and funny, intelligent and positive way,
I just tell them, I hate them.
It’s a sign of great respect and good natured envy!
We can all easily hate those that make things we find difficult, look easy.
It’s the most natural thing in the world.
When somebody tells me they hate me in this humorous fashion, I find it the GREATEST OF ALL COMPLIMENTS!
Cheers

I thought this was a Charles Fuchs post when I saw the thumbnail @surfyogi haha
It is always great to have a bit of fun with you collegues and it is always great when people understand it is a joke and they laugh with you rather than loathe you
Well I hate you too Jeff :)

You have been one of my favorite followers. Thanks for that.
You almost always have something to say with my every post.
I secretly hate you very, very much, and I am not sure I can even read your comments any more; they are so good, they make me feel I am not worthy.
I guess I'll just have raise my game ;-)

Humor is so necessary in this world right now. Way too many are so serious. They never want to laugh. They only want to fight all the time. :P

I believe in "drawing people out".
That means, poke them in the ribs a bit and see what they have to say...
just a little bit. Everybody gets to talk, we all share, we all live.

Well, technically if a person hates you seriously then opposed to all beliefs you must have something better than him/her. People hate what they dont understand and cant comprehend.
Now, I am here to say 'I hate you' LOL :)
Great pose sir. It's nice to see the selfies you're posting lately :) @surfyogi

I remember the first time that was directed at me in the same way... TBH I was a bit taken aback! I think it was because I had associate the word "hate" with such strong connotations, that at first it was hard to see any humor in it. Now however, I just realize its simply a thing.

The world is tired of hatred. Since hatred will never cease with hatred, hate will cease with love. Hate gives a reason to live Jeff! :)

People only hate because the person has something in life that shines, he is light wherever he goes, hahah, but to do it with humor is life. That makes me laugh.
