Others have said it, but I feel it needs to be repeated.

Cut negative people out of your life. This person is one of those people. Make yourself busier. A project. Work. Family. Or just unavailability. Don't feel guilty about it.

I had to make a similar type of decision to make years ago. I had a friend, both of us male, who started to grope me. I kid you not he'd meet me in the bar and he'd get a full fist full of my balls. He thought it was hilarious. I hated it. So I got "busy" doing other things, became unavailable.

Funny, only now when I look back I realise it was sexual abuse 🤣.

Anyway, the point is, you will NOT regret cutting this person out of your life. Was the best decision I ever made, it will be yours too.

I know. He's got a point too! It was an anti-joke I heard recently from a friend and I had a fair inkling it would not be received as funny as I found it. I have really weird sarcastic humour too, I was also the only one that laughed at this when he told it!

I think this "joke" goes down better after about 5 or 6 "proper" jokes are told, and in person with a deadpan face.

What you did was funny, and exactly what I would have done! It was just unfortunate. I wouldn't worry about it, fix it and explain again. Call yourself a twat and if you had known you obviously wouldn't have done it. Doesnt mean you are a twat, but making it personal highlights your awareness of what happened.

But don't beat yourself up about it, shit happens! Step up and you'll feel better for it.
