What is the most inappropriate time you have started laughing at?

[kimblebee]

At an appointment with my son's pediatrician. This being a family-friendly board, I don't think I can tell the story in a way that would do it justice. Suffice it to say, we switched doctors. (Full disclosure: I had been thinking about changing doctors for a while, as this doc was no longer in our network. But the inappropriate giggle fit was the straw that broke the camel's back!)

You yada yadad over the best part..

I was at pre marriage classes that were required by the church. The husband and wife team leading it were so dorky and eccentric that we were having a hard time taking it seriously. We were ok until they shared a story about communication and ended with the line 'that day we were both losers'..I LOST it. I turned to my now ex and he was laughing just as hard as I was. I tried to pass it off as coughing but it was a bad attempt. We couldn't look at each other for at least an hour without starting to laugh again.

For a reference..they reminded me of the singing couple on SNL played by Will Farrell and Ana Gastayer.

So apparently the marriage classes were ineffectual....

At an elderly neighbor's funeral 20+ years ago. I had to cover my face and act like I was crying.

I hope, if there is a funeral for me, it is nothing but laughter.

Totally agree with you. I don't want tears and wailing at mine. Talk about the time I fell in a ditch and sprained my ankle lol

At the drive through, the guy taking our order had the most ridiculous accent and sloooooow speech. My dad called out our entire order in EXACTLY the same manner.

I laughed a week after my father died while my family and I were shopping for supplies for his celebration of life. He was AVID Superman collector so we wanted to deck the hall out in Superman stuff because that's what he would have liked. I thought the theme was leaning more toward birthday party, but my mom and little brother liked it and my father would have appreciated it. We got some balloons and here comes my grandmother(a little nutty on a GOOD day) ordering this GIANT wedding balloon because it had a nice saying about love on it. Whatever... We weren't going to say no.

So here we are driving to the hall, packed in my mom's car(grandmother is an emotional wreck) with all of these balloons on the way to what is essentially my father's funeral. It was all so bazaar and, I don't know... inappropriate, that I lost it. Absolute hysterics over how absurd the whole situation was. I still want to laugh. I felt like I was in an episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Shameless or something

At my dad's funeral. The minister giving the eulogy went on and on about what a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and dear friend Frank was to everybody. The problem was, his name was Fred not Frank. My brothers, sister and I were all trying our best to keep from laughing but it was no use. The joke of the day was dad changed his name and forgot to tell us

At church. The guy behind us was singing in such a deep, low, monotone voice it was amusing. It was awful and it was all I could hear. I could not stop laughing and tried to cover it with coughing.

I'm going to hell for this...but every time during the holidays my FIL gathers us together for prayer in a circle. We hold hands, bow our heads as he prays. The thing is , he starts a prayer and turns it into a story because he LOVES to hear himself talk. For example he might say, " I pray that my grandchildren stay safe...like the time....10 minutes later he's still on the story. My SIL will start squeezing my hand or stepping on my foot and I can feel her body racked with laughter she's holding in, then I start biting my lip from giggling. We are horrible people.

At my great-aunt's funeral. The Rabbi had a coughing fit and I almost lost it.

Oh my gosh, are you Catholic too? I had totally forgotten about this but reading your story brought it all back. I wonder if we had the same couple for our pre marriage retreat lol. I feel guilty for laughing even now at this poor couple who gave of their time for the church and to help other couples, but their whole presentation was awkward to watch too, and when the wife said something about when her husband would hold her in his "big strong arms" I could see DH out of the corner of my eye, and we both had to majorly stifle the giggles. I would never want to make someone feel like I was laughing at them or poking fun which of course made it all the harder not to laugh (you know, the harder you try to go contain it, the more it comes out)

My grandparent's neighbor's funeral. We all knew him my one name, but his birth name was something different. Every time the priest would say his name, my sister and I would have to fight from laughing. The other time was at my sister's 1st wedding. Stuff was said about how "pure" they were and how they saved themselves for marriage. Now everyone but my parents knew that wasn't true. I was the maid of honor. Myself and the bridesmaid were fighting laughing, and people thought we were crying. It still brings tears of laughter to my eyes.

Ok this is messed up but: after my mom donated her body to science, I got back her cremated remains(ewww).
So, I spread most of it at the family plot as she had requested. As I was leaving, it started to rain.
I decided to spread what was left at what used to be her parents property.
It was not even a 3 minute drive. It started pouring down in buckets. I was like I am not getting out in this, I'll do a drive by scatter.lol.

So I put window down a little bit and proceeded to scatter.
It steady rained all the way back home which is about 25 minutes away.
It finally stopped and I took dd to the store. We get out go in the store. On my side is some "dust" omg, my mom was on my car. Then dd and i cracked up laughing.
All I could think of was my mom did that on purpose: she always made fun of how funny I was about my cars.
We went back and rinse my car off at the old homestead,lol.

I thought DH was going to have to get me out of the floor at a stained glass shop years back. Went in to buy supplies and the lady who ran the shop left suddenly because her first grandchild was being born. She left 2 elderly ladies in charge of running the store till she returned. The elderly ladies hadn't worked in years and weren't familiar with the new registers, debit cards etc. Well, a customer attempted to pay for her purchase with a debit card and one of the ladies rang it up. Only thing...a $37.50 purchase rang up as "$370.50"! The customer hollered and demanded the ladies "do something"! One of the elderly ladies began to shake and stuttered, saying to "just wait, I'll figure it out". She muttered to herself, then began punching in more numbers. New total...$3,750!!! The customer started to cry and I started to cackle. DH pinched me and told me to stop...that made it worse. Now I was snorting and the entire store was glaring at me. We left.

Literally minutes after my grandma died, my dads mom. My uncle, her son, has us crying laughing at stories about her. While we were still in the hospital. She would have loved it.

Back in 2013, I had just gotten on the phone with WDW to call out a GAZILLION $50 gift cards to pay off our resort.

Juuuust as I was calling out the numbers (to the obviously agitated CM who hadn't planned on the time this was taking)....my daughter sent me an amazon page for a product called 'Sh*tt*n Mittens'.

I glanced down, peered closer, read a line or two and lost it.

I literally could. not. stop. laughing.

I had to tell the CM what I was laughing about and she lost it. She was laughing so hard and started coming up with ways to use them. It was awful and hilarious at the same time.

At my great grandmother's funeral I had a serious case of the giggle when the priest started talking about being stoned "but not in the modern sense". My mom got in on it too, the only one outside of our pew who noticed was my grandfather and he gave us the look.

Where I have been working (in social work) some things are of a very sensitive nature. Unfortunately I have the maturity level of a teenager sometimes and find inappropriate things (and situations people are in) to be funny. I have been able to keep my composure face to face thankfully. Some things I have heard (that cannot be repeated) have made it very difficult not to laugh. I have had some phone conversations in which I had to hold the phone away and laugh. I know I am a terrible person, but some things are hard to hear or see and not laugh.

 

[DisneylandDarling]

Anytime I get really nervous or scared, I will start laughing. I can't help it.
