Um... Noid...
Hyperbole:
1. obvious and intentional exaggeration.
2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”
What you just did there in that quote is actually:
Irony:
1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
Now, what word am I looking for here... ah yes:
Jackass:
1. a male donkey.
2. a contemptibly foolish or stupid person; dolt; blockhead; ass.
