My worst week writing dad jokes had a 0% success rate

Last Tuesday I told 7 puns to my coworkers in the break room and every single one got a stone cold silent stare. Not even a courtesy groan. The concrete detail that broke me was when Brenda from accounting just slowly blinked and walked away mid joke. Has anyone else had a streak so bad you questioned your whole joke writing process?

Oh man, I went through a full week last month where my puns got nothing but blank stares too. The worst was when my wife just sighed and said "I have to go organize the pantry now" while I was in the middle of a punchline.
