The definition of satire is (Funk and Wagnalls) "1. The use of sarcasm, irony,
or wit in exposing abuses or follies; ridicule. 2. A written composition in
which vice, folly, etc. is held up to ridicule."

Doesn't my post fit into those categories? I personally think it was witty, but
even if you disagree with that you can't deny it is sarcastic. You may not agree
your action was abuse or a folly, but isn't exposing it as such what satire is
all about? :)
