🔤 Wordplay

Someone keeps stealing the wheels on my car

Shouldn't they be getting tired of this already?

Why This Joke Works

"Getting tired" means both growing weary of an activity and tires — the very things being stolen. The thief is repeatedly taking tires while the speaker wonders if they're tired of it, using the exact word for what they're taking.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say it with genuine exasperation — "Shouldn't they be getting TIRED of this?" — the frustration makes the wordplay feel accidental and much funnier.

Perfect for:

  • When complaining about recurring car trouble
  • When something keeps going wrong repeatedly and frustratingly
  • During a neighborhood watch or community meeting
