It is often said in Britain that Americans don't do irony.
Sarcasm is meant to be hurtful whilst irony is saying the opposite of 
what you really mean for effect or humour. Which mixed in with the 
"graveyard humour" that some professions and people have can be quite 
shocking to people not used to it.


As for your comments I think you were being sarky to her. My usage of 
sarky is that it is a mild form of sarcasm. To illustrate a point in 
your case.

I would not take offence.
