Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : So, I will preface this with that my friend has never expressed or even hinted at these jokes offended or hurt him, laughed at them when I told them, and even made them about himself.

This friend had yet to retake an exam, which has resulted in him being sent out of the room several times while the teacher explained test problems. He came back in from one of those sessions asking if he had a grade in the grade book.

“Right now,” the teacher said, “You have a big fat zero.” 

I muttered that the big fat zero suited him, but I muttered it a little louder than intended and the friend heard it. He chuckled a bit at it, but it was drowned out by two female students next to me screaming that it was rude.

“OMG SO RUDE!” they bawled. 

Without their input and help from them, the teacher would not have known that anything had been said. The friend stayed silent while the teacher offered me a chance to apologise. The problem here was that apologising would not be saying sorry to the friend; he was clearly fine with the joke. Apologising would be saying sorry for offending the drama queens with a joke not directed at them. Thus, I refused the offer.

AITA for telling the joke? Refusing to apologise?
