What's the funniest thing that has ever happened to you?

[Renee]

I got this idea from the thread about high school that Mojo started and I wouldn't mind a bit of a laugh.

I'm going to think about this one because my sense of humour is a bit more potty than everyone else's, so in the meantime post a story about the funniest thing that has ever happened to you

[p.arena]

Lol cool idea for a thread Renee, look forward to seeing people's funny stories!

It was hard for me to pick but there's one that stands out for me. My wife was there at the time and always gets a laugh whenever we think back to it.

What happened was, we were at a buffet for lunch with my parents and our Danish neighbour we're good friends with as well as several of his guests that were visiting from Denmark. Anyway when we got there and everyone was eating I thought it'd be polite to go and get drinks for everyone, anyway one of my neighbours friends had a big bushy mustache and when I put the drink in front of him on the table he quickly looked up at me and didn't say anything, and I had a total brain freeze moment and said "thank you" and nodded, then there was an awkward 2 or 3 seconds where I stood there blankly until what I said sunk in, and I turned around and walked back to the food area of the buffet (had to escape the awkward feeling of handing someone a drink and then thanking them!).

The dumbest part was, I already had my plate of food at the table when I went and got the drinks, so after a little while I just came back to my seat empty handed and hoped nobody noticed. I think it was the blank face he gave me and I was expecting him to say thanks but when he didn't my brain malfunctioned and felt like I had to say something lol

I wonder if he went back to Denmark thinking Aussies have it all backwards and that you're supposed to say 'thank you' when you give someone something, or if he just thought I was a massive spaz hahah

[mojo]

LOL!

So many, I'll start with one of my first since I was 16 or 17. But I think it's more like an embarrassing moment.

I had my liscense finally and going through the drive through bank in my very small town. I pulled up and my Moms car was in front of me at the window. So i put it in park and jumped out, ran up to her car on the passenger side and jumped in to say HI MOM! Well, it wasn't my mom. It was my High School Principal who had the exact same car! Die! :

I was seeing this girl and I was 17. It was going well so decided to buy some condoms (thinking I'd get lucky). I went to a local shop and asked for a packet of condoms. The 2 guys behind the counter laughed at me saying I would never be using them etc.

I went to the girl's house the next day to be let in to a family party. The 2 guys from the shop were there - they were her Dad and her grandfather. The look on their faces was priceless and I've never felt so embarassed in my entire life.

Needless to say, I never used the condoms

I'm going to start this off with I wish I was a teenager when this happened, but unfortunately it was only like 2 years ago. The family went to a water park and my daughter saw a surfing machine called a "flowrider". My daughter knew that before I had kids I surfed and screamed as she saw the ride, "mom you can totally do that!". My husband at the time laughed and said, "she could before she was old.". Rachel then proceeded to place a bet with her dad and order me on the ride stating, "well you will show him." My options were slim either go on this thing or disappointing her. I opted to go. I was standing in line with about ten 16 to 22 year old guys and a sea of people watching as people either succeed or wiping out. The guys in line gave me tips and advice on how is differs from ocean riding. When it was my turn to go on the wave I did really good, until my bathing suit bottoms fell off and I mooned the whole crowd. Not only was my family horrified but when I got my bottoms back on I went a second round, what were the odds of it happening a second time or me ever seeing these spectators again. I will say it was a ton of fun, I was horrified, my kids to this day talk about it, and it is a pretty funny story.

lol that must have been the most awkward party ever!

funny condom related story, back at uni I used to work weekends in the deli section of a supermarket, and one night at about 7pm this guy was running around the store really frantically up and down the aisles and he sprints up to me and says "Bro! where do you sell the condoms here??" So I told him which aisle they were in and he bolted to grab them and took off to the front counter like a maniac.

When it was my turn to go on the wave I did really good, until my bathing suit bottoms fell off and I mooned the whole crowd. Not only was my family horrified but when I got my bottoms back on I went a second round

thats hilarious!
and you're pretty brave to go for a 2nd turn after something like that

heyyy you can't leave us hanging like that, what happened?

[GPWA Aaron]

There's no way this can match up with the awkwardness of SlotAff's moment, but it did happen when I was 17.

I'd started working as a part-time sports writer at my local newspaper. Our branch had just one full-time sports writer, and he was showing me around the office on my first day. He introduced me to all the writers, photographers, etc., and as we were walking back to my work station, he stopped me to show me a stack of photos people had sent in for wedding and anniversary announcements.

"Once a month we go through these and pick the best looking and worst looking couples. Here's last month's best looking couple," he said, holding up a picture of two 20-somethings who had just gotten engaged. "And here's the worst looking one," he said, holding up a picture of a middle-aged couple that was celebrating their 25th anniversary. And that couple just happened to be my aunt and uncle.

He was horrified and didn't seem comforted by the fact that I told him I thought it was hilarious.

"You can't ever tell your family I said that," he said.

So of course I told my father (it was his sister) first thing when I got home. He got a good laugh out of it too.

This must happen to a lot of people. I remember there being a tv ad here years ago with the same thing.. Awkward as hell I'd bet.

Not fair!

OK so one of the funniest things that's happened to me that is safe to tell here..
I was a teenager and was swimming at the local pool. I decided that I would try to be awesome and practice my diving in front of some boys.

I dived in and got out of the pool. As I walked down the side there were a group of girls laughing at me. Silly me thinking it was because they were jealous so I kept going. After 5 minutes of seeing lots of people laughing at me, I looked down and my boob was hanging out of my swimmer.

Very funny now. Not so funny then.

lol that's a pretty bad wardrobe malfunction

[Renee]

Luckily I didn't actually grow any boobs til I was about 22 so there wasn't much to see

[thebookiesoffers]

alright though, i warn you all.

one friday i was walking back home from the pub and all of a sudden needed the sudden urge to have a number 2, really bad belly ache, the works. Luckily where I was was houses one side of the road and a hedge and field the overside. I managed to jump through the hedge and get my pants down before the worse thing that could happen to an adult could happen and sat for a minute thinking 'that could of been worse' only to realise their was a footpath on the otherside of the hedge, where I was doing my unpleasant business. The next problem i encountered is outside natural toilets don't have bog roll so ripped my old work jumper off and started to clean myself, at this point a dog appeared soon to be followed by a dog owner on a walk. AARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH, slung my jumper in the hedge, pulled my strides up and quickly done the off with a bright red face and got home and was quickly in the shower hoping to forget about the whole sorry experience.
A fews days later I was sat outside the boozer for my horror the said dog walker to come and sit at the table next to me with his mate. Nothing was said and I thought he hadn't recognised me and he and his pal got up and left........ his mate walked past me and just as I was thinking he didn't know it was me blew a big raspberry fart noise and just walked off.

Like i said wasn't funny for me but is for everyone i tell

[vinism]

And we have a winner....

Cha ching!

I think the reason that story is even funnier than it probably is to me is because my dad has had 2 experiences very similar to that one and when I read your story I thought about his stories and am almost in tears.

I'm sure it's not funny to you at all, but hopefully eventually it will be, especially since you don't know the guy who saw you.

Thanks so much for the laugh
It was exactly what I was hoping to read when I started this thread.

[thebookiesoffers]

I'm sure it's not funny to you at all

To be fair I think it is funny, it gets brought up in the pub every now and again which we all laugh at

[p.arena]

lmao that is hilarious man

[universal4]

Personally I vote for the pictures from Brooke's episdoe.....
