Here's something interesting to think about: why do people like to penalise others who are serious most of the time? By "penalise", I mean "to invoke an action that has negative social effects; examples include insults, stereotyping, and shunning". And by "serious", I mean "mostly in a state of mind no different from that of doing work".
Just think about it... perhaps someone can come up with an interesting theory/idea on the truth of this statement.
Maybe because people like to have fun at times, and because the person is too serious to join in, the person gets ostracized.
