Funny stories..let's laugh :)

Me and my boyfriend went on out-of -town date. It was cold then. We agreed to dip our bodies on hot springs. It was a beautiful place with no roof or cover only the hot spring with fences sorrounding it. Of course, there are many people some were foreigners. Above, bats were flying all over. i was talking to my boyfriend when suddenly a bat dropped his shit on my head out of so many places to throw their poo ,why on me ?my bf laughed on me. I fearlessly get the shit and throw it on him . that was pretty fair. Of course, we took a meticulous bath thereafter.

Hmm ok Ill play. This happened years ago but was kinda funny. When I moved out I wanted to get a pet so in a moment of temporary insanity I bought a ferret. I probably should have researched them first but I figured it couldnt be too hard. Anyways they put her in this rinky dink cardboard box with holes cut into it that looked kinda like the Happy Meal boxes. And that was great until I left the pet store and she went completely nuts. She started tumbling around inside and chewing at the holes. I figured if I could just get home fast I could put her in a pen. But I was 30 mins from home. Soon as we got on the highway I saw she was weaseling her way out of the box and at this point I started to freak the hell out lol. I kept trying to push her back in while watching the road and it wasnt working. Finally I gave up and let her roam free. I figured that'd calm her down, but then she climbed up my pants leg. I had to push my hand down to keep her from climbing up too high and sending me to the hospital and stayed like that until I got home mg:

Lol. You really had a hard time with ur pet in your first meeting huh.

Haha! Thanks for the laughs, I needed it

Awrite, I'll give ye a few funny stories from my Edinburgh Fringe experience this year. They kinda happened one day after the other.

So, I arrive on the Friday with my sister, and we just miss the first show we'd booked to see. Me, being a bit cheeky wee shite and very much a provocateur, decide to wear a funny t-shirt, which unlike last year was more subtle and obvious in it's humour:



And much to my shock, this tall, ginger-haired Scottish guy sidles up tae me and goes: "Awright, big man. Like yer t-shirt by the way", shaking my hand in the process. Which made me both smile and chuckle.

So, after we see the 2nd show we had tickets, my sister and I are just passing the time, chatting away, browsing the internet on our phones. When suddenly, as I'm still turned away chatting to my sister, this English woman says "Hello", and I turn in her direction. Now I don't know if it was the shirt, but clearly she must've been standing in front of me a few second before engaging with me.

Anyway, as she talkin' to me, I'm nodding away, giving the illusion that I haven't zoned out completely, when I have done just not. But not outta boredom, but because I've just recognised the woman... who is a comedienne I've been a fan for a few years now. Due to discovering her via her own YouTube channel.

Though, me being a totally starstuck and anxous, say nothin'. h: I just hope I'm not doing this: :shyness: While, inside my head I'm going: "Is that her? F**k! It is as well. Oh my God, I've still got that personalised signed photo I got from her on my wall!"

Totally freakout, right? Which turn to hysterics when, after the woman gets done talking to us and go off around the corner, my sister pipes up asking if I'd recognised her. To which I make reference to the photo. Then after much debate we decided to go to the venue where the show is taking place and get tickets. Purely based on the fact, so far, only nervous studenty-lookin' folk huv approach and barely spoke to us about the flyer their handing out.

Oh, but it gets worse. That evening we come out of the Gilded Balloon venue, which is hosting a majority of the Edinburgh shows this year. Nae jackets, or tracksuits. Just the t-shirts we had on all day. And, you guess it... Typical of the Scottish weather it starts raining.

And the chair-lift which got my wheelchair-bound arse and my sister into the venue has stopped working. There's a queue from all the way down the steps that lead into the venue - as the next show is completely.

And the shower is getting heavier and heavier. By the time we get into the chair-lift, we're soaked. By the time, we get out, due to the door of the lift jamming and leaving us stuck, the rain is running down the back of my wheelchair.

As we head for my sister car, the hair on my arms is ringing wet. And hilarity as my sister thinks she's lost her key, but only misplaced them and fumbles to find 'em. Do so as the shower become relentless, with spits of rain bouncing off the pavement.

Ever the smart-arse, I deliver a well-timed, witty one-liner:

We get in the car, and just start laughing to the point of tears. My sister's long hair is completely soaked, as are her glasses. My t-shirt, trouser and boxer-shorts are soaked through as well. The only thing we have to dry ourselves off is the red vest I was wearing on the drive into Edinburgh.

On top of that I have to take my shirt off to dry myself, exposing my incredibly hairy upper-body. In the end I had to strip-off the tracksuit top I'd decided against wearing all day, on the journey home. As did my sister, but at least, her tits were covered. My hairy chest wus'nae...And our mum wasn't amused to hear we'd be caught in this hellish rainfaill, though.

Though, that story is nothing compared what is about to happen just 24 hours later, the following day.

Sorry for the double post, but here's the rest o' my wee story.

So, the following day (Saturday, August 6th), I search YouTube for the comedienne who I'd just met the previous day. And, looking at how frequently she response to comments on her videos: Oh, f**k! She'll probably response to me

Anyway, with a deep breath I fire off my comment on one of her videos, explain who I am, right? And that me and my sister have got tickets after she'd spoke to us, for her show today.

As well as tell her I'd recognised her just previous day. And told her about the signed of photo she'd sent me 4 years ago, after purchasing a couple of her comedy DVDs. And... post.

With that done, I get ready and depart for the venue. Against my better judgement I wore this slightly sexist, albeit ironic t-shirt. mg:



So, we go into the venue at about quarter past 5 and wait for the show we'd just booked tickets for yesterday to start letting the audience in. And the place is houching with people. People coming from the bar, chefs going in and outta the kitchen. People going up and down the stairs.

That's when Diane - the comedienne I'd just met 24 hours ago and who I've booked to see shows up. And after talking to the venue staff, she looks over and recognises me. Asking me my name, then shaking my hand and saying that it was: "Nice to meet you... again". Which got a shared wee in-joke laugh from the both of us.

Then proceeding to tell me that she'd just replied to my YouTube comment before coming to the venue, herself. Leavig a response saying she'd say hi before the start of the show. Of course, not having checked to see if there was a response, this was a pleasant surprise to me.

She was lovely, though, and absolute stunning. Redhead as well, so no wonder she's gorgeous. And if I wasn't blushing I hid it well, because I sure didn't expect to met her for a second time.

Though, just before we went into the room where she was set to perform, The Wee Room as it's appropiately named, I manage to make her laugh. As Diane sticks her head out from the doorway and says to me:


To which ah reply in ma deep sounding Scottish accent:


Ah don't know if it was the Scottish matter-of-factness of this statement, but I'm kinda glad Diane got a big laugh from my response. What with me lacking the confidence and innate comic-timing to be as funny as many of my favourite comedians.

Though, I'm kinda nervous about attending next year, and potentially meeting her again, if she bring a new show to Edinbugh. Hopefully, I won't be as awkward.

I've got a couple more stories that I could share here. The only trouble is, I don't know if anyone here would find them funny?

An actual conversation I had with a coworker:

Worker: says something I have trouble hearing.
Me: what, sorry could you ask again?
Worker: says it again.
Me: No, of course not (laugh to break tension) why would I?
Worker: Gives me a confused look, "what do you mean why wouldn't you?"
Me: Well, you asked me if I had syphillis (an STD for those that don't know, lol)
Worker: Bursts out laughing..."No! I asked if you had any siblings! After that I start laughing too, lol.

Sorry, that's just too funny. So, do you have any, eh... :sarcastic:

Haha! I'd better not, that's one advantage I can think of for never having a partner.

So me and my best friend were walking by a park one night and for some strange reason he said hey want to go down the slide together I asked why and he said for friendship. Well I agreed and I sat on the slide, he scooted up behind me and held on to me. Well we went down the slide, at the bottom though there was a massive puddle. It soaked me and my friend heard me yell water. So he's panicking trying to save himself but it's no use he went through it too. So that night here were 2 18 year old boys walking back home with drenched pants because we decided to slide together. Thanks friendship!

You probably would have had to be there to appreciate any humor in this but I'll tell it anyway. When I was around 20, I worked at one of those really big bookstores. Our customers tended to be kind of upper classy and sometimes a little impatient/stuck up. One day a customer comes up to me. The conversation went like this.

Lady: Do you guys have any carts? (what I thought she said).
Me: (A little unsure but thinking I know the answer) No, we don't have carts but we have little baskets.
Lady: (Staring at me like I'm a complete idiot) Oh, okay.
Her Husband: (Who had been in a different section but came walking up to her as I was walking away) So, do they carry greeting cards?
Lady: (Doing a pretty spot on impersonation of me and my semi-confident answer) No, but they have little baskets.

Well, I didn't hear her correctly so knowing it was a huge book store I figured she was asking about shopping carts which we didn't have but referred her to the little shopping baskets that were available if someone had a lot of books to buy. When I heard her husband ask about cards, I realized my mistake but for some reason didn't go back to correct it. I think my SA was just starting to kick in around that time so I felt a little awkward about further explanations. Anyway, we didn't carry greeting cards so no harm done. LOL.

That's really a let's laugh story. This is really interesting to know such stories. Situation and visualization makes story more live like.

I'm just going to quote what I said in the random thoughts thread:

Funny story: I had an amusing conversation with a cashier one day. I was buying a handful of items, including a pack of dust masks and a pack of hangers. He started packing my bag and said something like, "We'll see if this fits." I said, "Ah, just shove it all in there." He says, "Well I don't wanna crush your masks." So I said, "Well, you can put them in the hangers." He's like "Oh yeah...I bet you're good at Tetris.":bigsmile: I laughed and said, "Well, I used to be. I haven't played in awhile." At the time, I had been intending to download Tetris for my phone but hadn't done it yet. I've since become addicted.

Remembered something today that happened a little while ago. It made me think of this thread.

I used to ride my bicycle to and from my job since it wasn't that far from my home. One day I was riding home at around 5pm. I had just left the office and was still in a congested area where there was a lot of foot traffic. As I was pedaling, I felt some kind of resistance as something started to slow me down. I didn't know what was wrong, figured something might be stuck in the chain. For some reason, I didn't want to stop around all those people and inspect it (stupid me). Didn't want everybody looking at me and wondering what I was doing. So, I decided to keep pedaling in hopes that whatever was causing the problem would work itself out or until I got to a less congested side street and could hop off and see what was slowing me down.

Turned out the innertube had somehow come out from the back tire. My continued pedaling exposed it to the rough pavement. All of a sudden there was a loud "POW!" as the innertube exploded and my tire went instantly flat. So now, not only did I have everyone's attention around me, some of them reacted like maybe I had just shot off a gun. I hopped off, took a quick look at the tire and hightailed it to an alley to get away from all the prying eyes. The only good thing was that miraculously, there was a bike shop about a block away from where it happened and within 20 minutes everything was fixed and I was back on my merry way. I laugh at myself whenever I think about that!
