Jonah 4: 1-4
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.  And he prayed to the Lord and said, "O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.  Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live." And the Lord said, "Do you do well to be angry?"

Jonah gets angry and makes excuses to God.

Is God showing His sense of humor by responding with "how's that working for you?"
