People at the office joke about the fact that when bad weather ruins their vacations, they come back happier to work.

The joke is the premise that happiness is relative, so being less happy on a bad vacation makes you more happy when you return to work. This is an ironic subversion of the expectation that happiness will put us in a good mood and unhappiness will put us in a bad mood.
