*le sigh*
These people are the ones who turn a nice friendly/crazy chat with your pals into a lecture outside of class with you being the teacher.
--EXAMPLE--
"So then she asked me if I was looking for books in the library, and I just said, 'Nah, I'm looking for the big red wardrobe that leads to Narnia.'"
"There's a wardrobe leading to Narnia in the library?"
"...yes...yes there is..."
"Oh my glob, do you know where it is?"
"...d-dude, I was being sarcastic..."
"Oh...so there isn't a wardrobe in the library leading to Narnia?"
"No...wish there was though..."
"By the way...what's sarcasm?"

Moments like these deserve the reunion of the face and the palm of one's hand.
Yes, the legendary Facepalm of the 21st Century; the Facepalm of C21; the Great Facepalm of the 2000's; etc.
These srsly-ers (that's what we call them) require the explanation of sarcasm that goes along the lines of this:
"It's, like, saying something, but, you know, meaning the opposite...or something...and it's more of pointing out the obvious of what someone said..."
Then the srsly-er would say something along the lines of:
"Oh okay, let me try: ahem, I hate you. That good?"
Then the one explaining be like:
"U-uh...but sarcasm is more obvious...like it's to let the other person know you're meaning the opposite...
Like for example I'd say, 'I was in the supermarket looking for food,' then you'd say something like, 'No, you were spying for pandas,'
Something like that, k?"
"Oh...right..."
