Laughing at something you shouldn't really laugh at

Hoopshead11

I was on the bus going for a pint last night and as the bus was about 50 yards away from a stop i noticed a very overweight woman running as fast as she could for the bus.

Now it was more of a waddle than a run,very penguin like,but she was beating the bus to the stop as the bus was in the traffic. Then the traffic starting moving again and i knew it was going to be a close run thing.

About 15 yards from the stop the bus passed her and she was trying to flag the bus to stop with her right arm as she tried to hang on to her oversized handbag with her left arm and she nearly fell over.

I was thinking at least she made it and it was worth the effort of nearly having a heart attack. But we got to the bus stop and the bus just kept going and i found myself laughing out loud,even though i tried to stop myself.

As i looked up at the driver he was also laughing. For the rest of the journey i had to try and supress my laughter.
So when was the last time you laughed when you shouldn't have?

Teacher giving out to me for not doing my homework. As she was doing it thought she sounded like terminator and started laughing a bit. Was pulled up on it, denyed it. Also laughed when a teacher told us she crashed her car. Laughed when my gran was lamenting to my dad about her recurring weight problem -i was young. Laughed at a street poet in cork at what was supposed to be a deep poem, laughed at a drawing of two war victims hugging (in sixth class)

Usually at funerals.......my dad finds something to get everyone going and enrage the matriarch.

remarked idly at a removal (to the rest of the pew) after waiting for about half an hour for the hearse to arrive that "maybe he got away on them"

queue seat rocking with laughter.

laugh at people who like to transfer their stress on to me rather than deal with it themselves....its a great way to let people get the message you are not going to suffer for them or do their jobs for them.

I deliberately turn up to funerals of people I've never even heard of to laugh when the priest says things like

He was a devoted family man. *chuckle*

She was always there for her children *tee hee hee*

He was such a dignified man *snicker*.

and that type of thing.

My grandmother died this year. Night before her burial my brother was telling a story of when my Aunt (uncles wife) brought us to the beach. He started telling us about her drying herself off after a swim and she had a MASSIVE BUSH. Anyway, Aunt gets up on the altar just before the coffins removed and me second row in burst out laughing. I mean, pissed it. Had to cover my face and pretend I was crying.

My grannys brother who lived in England died and was being buried in Ireland. At the funeral there was a man singing and playing guitar at the graveside. He was absolutely murdering Danny Boy. Myself, my dad and half the family at the funeral were trying to suppress our laughter and when everyone realised that we all were trying to hold it in we just left it out. The man's English family kept casting us confused dissappointed glances which made all of us laugh even harder. Our whole family is going to Hell.

i laugh at a lot of mean things really

at my granny's funeral years ago, my little cousin in a thick west cork accent, who had helped shoulder the coffin, sat beside us and said "Jesus, fierce bang off that"

the row erupted, we couldn't stop laughing for love nor money

I absolutely cracked up laughing on the Cork-Dublin train about a month ago. I was on the way up to Dublin on a Friday, and the train was wedged, people standing at the end of pretty much every carriage. I hadn't a pre-booked seat, and I was sitting on the ground inside the door where there is a space reserved for a wheelchair.

Now this very elderly lady (80 at a conservative guess) and I presume her grandson had taken 2 seats, which had been pre-booked. At the next stop, some women in her early 30's get on, and turfs them off her pre-booked seats. Issue was, the second seat was for a kid not more than 2 or 2 and a half. The elderly lady's grandson found a standing stop, and some other young lad gave up his seat for the old lady.

Now I'm slightly miffed that the woman with the toddler didnt perhaps think to let the old lady stay in her seat, and obviously the toddler could sit on her knee or the edge of her seat. The kid was 3 at most, he hardly needed his own seat. After about 5 mins, the kid got bored with his seat, and proceeded to spend the next 20 mins or so walking up and down the aisle, leaving his seat vacant. Soon, he gets a bit of confidence, and starts running up and down the aisle. Obviously people are getting a bit pissed off at this stage.

So toddler is running along, full speed ahead, train jerks slightly, kid gets caught off guard, trips over himself, and smack, face first into the carpet......I was basically chewing my wrist trying to stop the laughter, and ended up making this gasping heaving noise as I failed to suppress it. Got a filthy glare from the mother, but feck it, she was being a wagon and her kid was annoying everyone.

I used to have this awful habit of laughing in my younger sister's face when she was in a rage for whatever reason, which probably didn't help with her anger. But it was just too funny. She'd get so angry she couldn't talk, she'd be this red-faced, shaking thing that couldn't form two words without swearing. It was hilarious.

I remember in transition year we had this guy in teaching us first aid.After he taught us the basics he was going through all the harrowing things he witnessed on his job . As he was detailing this stuff he was standing in front of a big window and just when he had dropped some bombshell about someone dying as he was treating them and the sombre mood in the room a massive crow let out a big CAWWW, faceplanted the window right behind him and dropped off the ledge to the floor. I lolled big-time but I think at the time people thought I was just an insensitive pr\ck.:o

Sooopie

its funny when someone gets caught out with a dose of the trots also

herisson

i was on the luas the other week and this little old lady in a wheelchair and her daughter got on
so i was just standing there in front of them when the luas took off
she forgot to put the break on her wheelchair and she went flying!

i tried so hard to suppress my laughter but i had to shuffle away!

im a terrible person for laughing at that but it was so funny!

Getting a Bus Eireann bus home from Dublin after partaking in a heavy night out the night before. We managed to get seats beside each other and were happy enough that we didn't have to share with any randomers. As is often the case on public transport, there was the token "mad man" sitting two seats in front of us. Talking real loud to anyone unfortunate to make eye contact with him, just being a pain in the ass. Anyway, my hungover friend is not afraid to mince his words and as he was getting increasingly frustrated at the man denying him a much-needed nap, he lets out a roar: "will you ever f*ck up!". The whole bus went silent apart from me trying to hold back the laughter.

Felt sorry for the man, but in fairness my mate had a hangover!

Actually have remembered a funnier one than my previous post.....

We were out on a stag last year and one of the lads is quiet when he's sober but a pure maniac when drunk. Gets handsy with girls and the whole shabang. Anyway, he had a few in him and was feeling confident and this fine girl walked by him and he gave her a big slap on the arse. She turns around and warns him that she will hit him if he does that again. The lad kind of justs laughs and shrugs his shoulders, before winding up and slapping her in the arse again. Girl turns around and clocks him one in the jaw. Lad stumbles back a few steps and falls down a small step. Everyone is aghast. Apart from us. We are in stitches.
