What little things come up in life that give you a laugh?

That situation where I'm driving exactly the speed limit. Somebody zooms past me like I'm sitting still. Then, not even ten seconds later, there we are side by side at the same red light. I think that's funny every time.

Yes they’re speeding to a red light. Geez. People in traffic have the attention span of a flea. Don’t get me started on traffic. I drive carefully and am not perfect by any means.

Little things I find funny are family reunions, people running in airports late for their flight, practical jokes played on unsuspecting people on tv and they’re angry then told you’re being put on it’s a joke.

Also makes me giggle that these speeders stuck right next to me at the same red light were probably thinking as they zoomed past me, "I hate slow drivers." (Technically I'm not "slow." Not if I'm going exactly the posted speed limit. Sometimes I'm even [gasp] five miles over!)

Ha, ha so true when you want to go the speed limit and just drive and another driver cause a raucous by going over the speed limit and who are you to get in their way, they’re above following the rules of the road.

I like tango sprays (candy you spray in your mouth), and of course, it looks like a spray (but a stick obviously, not a bottle)

at the time I didn't know what it was called so I went in to the shop and asked the person behind the desk,

" hi, do you have any stick things?"

not only did the person fall about laughing, but so did I

and to this day if I see this guy in the shop, he'll say to me " are you not coming to buy any stick things today?"

what makes this funnier is that he actually knows what I mean by " stick things", so it's now like an inside joke

not long ago I saw this guy and he was fundraising for charity (rescue dogs)

so, eager to find out about his charity, I started conversation with him
" what does your charity do?" I asked

no reply

" I really like dogs", I went on

then in the dullest tone he could possibly use, he said

" I like dogs. "

me: " I like Labradors"

him in the same dull tone, " I like Labradors"

I left him too it, but when I came back he was still their, and he turned to me and went (in the same dull tone),

" I like Labradors"

I'm walking away grinning thinking... this guy knows nothing about dogs, he's just payed to sit their and say he likes them

I find it fairly amusing when comercials are paired together

like for example they'll show a commercial about diapers, closely followed by a commercial for childcare services. I just find it funny

another thing I find funny is when you're watching something (a child cartoon for example), you get to the comercials, and the first one they show is one for an online cacino

it usually gets me thinking.. what child, of 8 years old, is going to play an online cacino game.

when tv shows are given a name that has nothing at all to do with the show

the latest kids show I watch " baby ricky", has nothing to do with anyone called ricky. it just amuses me.. why on earth call it baby ricky then?

another one called, " back to my place", you'd think is a dating show

but it's to do with DIY

what the actual..

when kids shows say things that you don't expect to hear on a kids show

best example of this was on cartoon network

they litirally said

" got any nuts?"

it then dawned on me (after a while), they meant squirrel nuts

but I got a good laugh out of it

kids who start to get angry and frustrated over the simplest of things.

it just makes me laugh...

especially when a kid wants to do something " a little bit longer", but because mummy won't allow it, the kid throws themselves on the floor and causes a sceen over it

an extra 10 minits wanted on the swings can turn in to 40/50 minits trying to get them to leave the park... I'm just amused by it all

Our store RAA, who handles all the FMLA paperwork and insurance and such, looking at me very suspiciously and asking "Are you sure you're bipolar?" You've always seemed very normal to me". When I turned in my FMLA paperwork just incase I ever need to take off because right now I'm not feeling real stable. It made me chuckle and I answered back "Sis you don't know the half of it!"

Once, when talking to a young child (kindergarten? bases sometimes have airshows/open house for the public) about an airplane they were viewing, it became obvious that they thought pilots dropped the bombs with their bare hands.

insects.
when they are trying to get out of a room and the window is open, and they fly in the totally other direction

stupid animals!

My cat who watches me clean the litter box and then immediately takes a poop in it. Every single time.

[Mountaindewed]

My cat acts so entitled. It’s funny. He’s just so full of himself.

I need to ask..

does your username on here have anything at all to do with the musical avenue q

for some reason when I see your name it always reminds me of the song gary kolman sings

travel reports on the radio.

I love that moment when you're sitting inside your house and they are talking about the state of the traffic in another part of the country and you just think... what do I care anyway?. I'm not even going that way. it's like they just want you to know and take an interest anyway

when you listen to a song and you mishear the lyrics

can end up quite funny

I learned of this word from reading some obscure dark comedy movie critique. It stuck with me. So, I knew of it before I even knew of Avenue Q.
Later, when I eventually came across the Ave Q song online--the lyrics were perfectly in line with the way I think of this word! Sarcasm and good humor.

It's funny when store clerks ask you that obligatory question: "Would you like to save an additional 10% on your purchase today, by opening up a [insert store name here] credit card"?

.....and your total purchase is going to be about $25.00 or something. LOL

or when you're qeuing up by the till, and they ask

" can I help you?"

no, I just wantg you to sit behind the desk twiddling your thumbs.. never mind all these bags of stuff I need paying for

I didn't even know it was a word.

not until your username

I thought it was made up for avenue q

used to love those songs- especially " their is life outside your apartment"

There’s someone at my job who’s not very friendly or nice. Her name is Sue. Secretly I call her Shrew in my head. I have to be careful with that though because it’s gotten to the point where I only refer to her as Shrew when I think of her. I don’t want that to accidentally slip out when I’m addressing her to her face or anyone else at work.

Similar experience, an unpleasant person with the last name of Birch. Had to be careful to remind myself that's an R, not a T.
