Unusual Times Or Situations You Have Laughed At

[Shanks 10,816]

We all have the occasional one a lot of them seem to happen to me at work, probably because I tend to see some rather interesting people there. I was on my lunch break one day and I looked down (there are windows where you can see down to the sales floor) and I saw two customers really making out in one of the checkstands with her grabbing his butt and everything. I practically choked as I started laughing when I saw the look on the checkers face and of course had the thoughts of "lucky bastard" when I thought of the guy.

 

I was stocking the juice and I picked up a cased of pink lemonade and put it on the floor because it was on the bottom shelf. It was a classic case of "don't know my own strength" and nearly all of them burst open and spilled all over the place. When a couple of baggers came to help me clean it up I noticed that the pink lemonade looked slightly like blood and jokingly said "quick, we need to get this cleaned up before the cops show up, hide the evidence."

 

Another time I was on my lunch this front end supervisor was talking to this client she had as part of this side business she is in, I knew about her side business but I didn't know what kind of "side business" she was involved in. I hear her on the phone talking about male strippers, one of them named "Big Jim" and I and a couple of other fellow employees on their lunches and breaks couldn't help but laugh at the irony of an authority figure talking about uh well that kind of stuff. Don't get me wrong what people do in private is none of my business but it was still hilarious.

 

 

And there was also this time this shop lifter tried to run out the front door with two 36 packs of beer. I was either facing (making the shelves look pretty) or checking expiration dates when I heard a checker say "hey come back here!" And maybe 2 seconds or so later over the intercom "security, to checkstand 2" then saw my assistant manager running at top speed over to the shop lifter who tried to run out with the beer but dropped one of them onto the floor as he ran out. I know it is not the most appropriate thing to laugh at but the thought of someone stupid enough to actually think they can get away with that gave me an uncontrollable case of the giggles.

We'll this one is kind of weird. My cat had cancer on her leg and was getting operated on. I was pretty sure it was going to be unsuccessful and they were going to put her down. After school my mom texted me and said she had to talk to me and my brother once he got home. So she calls and I'm certain she's going to say they had to put our cat down but no, she like "we decided to amputate her leg and she's going to be ok". I pictured my cat hopping along on 3 legs and just burst out laughing, due to a combination of shock, disbelief, and happiness

When the parents died in Frozen. Mind you, it was because I saw the cliche coming. "Oh, look, a nasty storm, aaannndd, they're dead."

In the movie Of Mice and Men, I snickered when George shot Lennie. The way the movie handheld it was just hilarious.

Oh, Curley? Yeah, I laughed at that too.

If we're gonna get into movies, I laughed pretty hard a lot during Equestria Girls. Most memorably when Sunset Shimmer is bullying Fluttershy and Twilight at the beginning and at the end when she's in that crater crying. Both scenes were just so ridiculous that I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. My brother (who's a brony hater ) and I constantly quote those scenes cuz they're just so amazing lol

Speaking at situations, when I read the word "crater," I thought a lava or volcano crater and I was like "I don't remember that in the movie!" XD

Speaking of Equestria Girls, the two scenes I could not take seriously that pretty much ruined the movie were the two scenes with Sunset Shimmer at the end - after her transformation (that design is so horrible, Hasbro!), and when Twilight leaves her to be an outcast in the human world. I was like: "Why, Twilight, why?" I mean, it was so laughably cheesy that I couldn't hold back my laughter.

I've laughed whenever I was upset before. Kind of awkward. Especially when my parents were having a conversation with me about something I was doing and I randomly laughed (out of being uncomfortable) and my mom was like "this isn't funny why are you laughing?!" Or something along those lines at least.......

You know how supervillains have that evil laugh whenever their plans tend to unfurl successfully? There are apparently opposite varieties of laughter that erupt whenever something truly wonderful and beautiful occurs. I don't know how to describe the laughter. Even the words "I am going to win this" doesn't do it nearly enough justice. I don't know.. But It's a fantastic and joyous laugh. It's a little scary.

 

I've laughed at the most beautiful places in the world, if it can be described as being laughed at, because of how sacred and joyous of an expression that can be tacked on to such an experience. It's a form of laughter synonymous with a release. Again, of what, I am entirely unsure.

 

I tend to laugh when people receive instant karma, as it were. Someone shouting "HEY, WHERE THE ^@#$ ARE THE HAMMERS?" and then the person who just picked up a hammer from the shelf behind them accidentally drops it on the first guy's foot, or this classic video of a kid throwing a cat into a fountain but ends up being in the fountain himself instead. It's not a vengeance sort of laugh. It's the recognition of some obscure balancing act.

What can I think of?

 

I usually laugh at pain... painful pain, but not too extreme. You know that ingrown swollen toenail feeling and then smashing it on a hard surface? Every time I get that horrible combination, I start to wail and then cackle.

This is going to sound stupid. or maybe even scary, depending on how you think about it. When I was little, I remember that my mom brought me and some of my friends to McDonald's. We grabbed a table while mom was getting the food. This really big man at the next table blew his nose. It sounded like a trumpet and I started to laugh. The guy came over to our table and started yelling at me. I was scared! My mom ran over and accused him of some not nice things concerning his interaction with a group of little girls, and he ran right out of the restaurant and left his food behind. To this day I wonder if my mom instinctively knew something because he ran away like that.

I laughed at the title of youtube poops, and I didn't even watch them yet lol.

[Thrashy 2,800]

Well, the fist time I ever tried pot (not endorsing or "glorifying" this for the kiddies, btw), I was at my sisters' apartment watching some generic slasher film on TV. After the high really started to set in, I kind of just zoned out, staring directly at the screen without really seeing it, if that makes any sense. And then, for no apparent reason, I just started laughing hysterically. Really hysterically. Maniacally, you might even say.

 

And that's not even the funny part. The funny part - or freaky part, if you ask any one of my sisters - was that my little episode started right as a grisly murder scene began to play out on-screen.

 

Talk about awkward timing.

[Shanks 10,816]

I have a couple more the first one is one from high school. I was talking to some kids from my class and I don't remember how this subject came up but this news story was mention where this guy died drowning in elephant poop. I bust out laughing because I thought it was a joke, you have to admit that it is an unusual way to meet your maker but when I found out that it actually happened I felt pretty bad.

 

The second one involves this friend of mine back when we used to work together. We were having a special barbeque at work because the store went a certain amount of days without an accident or injury and he set aside some food for me. His real name is Justin though you guys here know him as Inazuma, on the paper plates that contained the food he wrote in marker "don't touch this or Justin will have his stabby way with you."

Um, I did the Mary Tyler Moore thing ... kinda ... but I stopped myself after a few seconds. 

[Frith is Magick 1,471]

This one happened at a really awkward time.

 

A close friend was, long story short, having some serious problems and I was with her. I looked up for a second, thought about where we were and the millenia that had led to that exact time, place, and series of events, and laughed at the crazy, up-jumped chimps who who somehow became the planet's dominant species. Philosophical humour at the worst of times.

This is bending the topic a bit, but I thought of an example when it was my mom - rather than me - that laughed at an unusual moment.  I was there, though, and I was also the cause of the laugh.

 

Years ago, in my mid-twenties, my ARNP sent me to a cardiologist due to the results of an EKG.  I had to undergo a nuclear stress test (mildly radioactive isotype fed into my bloodstream via an IV, if I remember correctly).  When the doctor came in with the results, he said a bunch of discouraging things.  Seemed really keen on doing this other so-called "uninvasive" procedure.  That...  Involved making an incision in my groin - through which to feed some device whose destination was my heart. 

 

So he was describing what sounded like the least appealing medical procedure ever, and a flat, clearly audible, "NO," just came out of my mouth.  I'm not certain I even waited for him to stop talking - it just came out.  "NO."  And my mother - who was very concerned up until that point - just laughed in response lol.  I shut the doc down with but one word.  He tried to save it after, but I left and never saw that guy again. xD

 

Oh, btw: I'm totally not dead.  Never had the procedure.  Continued taking care of myself at home, and I'm in better shape now than I was in my teenaged years through at least half of my twenties.  So Dr. Groin Incision can suck it.
