Things You Find Funny... That You Shouldn't

People running for a bus but just miss it and then try to act nonchalant. Same goes for lifts at work.
 
Our work crew had a day out at Alton Towers yesterday, we were next in line for the ride "Air" when one chap was unable to fit in the seat, the staff tried for about 5 mins, holding up the ride, in the end they gave him what looks like a pass and then told him to leave the area.

We all burst into laughter when he left, we all knew we shouldn't have but they way the staff were trying to squeeze this man into the seat was very funny and the look of embarresment when he had to leave was priceless

It's confessions time, and I want to know about all those things you secretly laugh at and know that you shouldn't. None of this "Blah blah, I'm perfect and you're terrible" crap.

Spill.

Ok, for me, when I see old people on the bus or outside and they're struggling to walk up stairs or while the bus is in motion etc and you just know for sure that they're going to fall over. Well, when they do and my prediction becomes reality... I can't help but laugh.

I dunno, I guess it's the whole facial expression they make and the noise which is like [old person voice] "Ohhhh, oh heavens". Then seeing middle-aged people running over with the whole "Oh my god" thing going on.

The funniest part of it though is when, even though they and everyone else knows it's simply because they're old, they look around at everything trying to put the blame on something, like "Oh god, the council need to sort out these steps, it's a disgrace"... which is when I feel like saying something along the lines of "See that ramp about TWO metres away? Well, that's to stop people like you falling over".

Or on a bus when everyone starts muttering about how TERRIBLE the driver is. Erm... you're supposed to remain seated whilst the bus is in motion, so if you start getting up and wishing you were 20 again, yo iz gunna bust a hip, in'it? :p

So come on, what about you lot?

They are actually funny though...

Laughing at old people getting hurt is less than amusing. :(
 
Before people do jump all over the op I would like to remind all of a famous saying

"those in glass houses should not throw stones"

and another

"let he without sin cast the first stone"

Yeah they love their ramps, in and out of libraries like nobody's business.
 
Cool, within 10 posts of a thread about laughing at things you shouldn't, we've had Jesus and the war mentioned. :p
 
This boy at my school. Absolutely rubbish at sports. He was playing softball and it was his turn to bat. So he swung the bat and he did a 360 and fell over. Broke his leg, i was in stitches. :D

I laugh at almost anything silly.
 
I have a terrible thing about people with tourettes.

I can't stress enough that I do not find anyone with a speech impediment funny (not on purpose anyway) but it's really hard for me to watch someone who speaks strangely and not want to laugh.

I try really hard and I hate it because I feel mean and horrible, but it's something on a subconscious level that I just can't help. I watched a recent tourettes documentary convinced I was going to go to hell because the tears were streaming down my cheeks and I just couldn't stop laughing.

If anyone watched Coupling when it was on, the giggleloop starts and cannot be stopped! :eek:
 
Was on the beginner slope this winter teaching a couple of girls to snowboard. During this a lady was skiing a little out of control and seemed to have no idea how to stop ... She was turning a little this way and that and i as quite sure she was going to go straight onto a road which was about a 5 meter drop down ... i was getting a little worried. The she turned slightly towards a hut and seemed to slow right down. 3 seconds later however it became aparent that she hadn't slowed down at all and smashed into this hut very hard, smashing a window and making a red mess on the floor. the 3 of us fell over laughing which we were sure we shouldn't do but it was very very funny ...

Old people falling over has never particularly amused me but people hurting themselves in amusing ways is generally funny.

Totally with you there (exept it's anyone who does it, not old people per se), it actually made me laugh reading it.

I'm an awful person.

That reminds me. People who have nothing better to do than follow somebody's life and ridicule them as much as possible based on the way their life is portrayed on an internet forum. Hilarious. :)

By the way, it's not that they get hurt that I find funny. As I said, it's more to do with the whole reaction. Don't twist my words you miserable sods.

when little children fall over, on there face, especially when they smile then start crying... or even when they just cry in general, makes me laugh :confused:

Also, some old guy in the academy when I went to see a band a few weeks back who walked straight into a glass door. I laughed till I couldn't stand up.

Latest one was a guy getting a bottle of lucozade out of the fridge in a shop, going to throw it up and catch it again and missing it completely, spooning it onto the floor then having to run after it as it skidded across the shop floor & checkouts.
