More than once I've thought of something funny when I'm walking alone down a street, or I'm at some solemn function or other, and I can't quite stop myself from laughing. Though I think I get in the most trouble for laughing when things go wrong.
I needed a max unit (it's a hand-held computer thingy you scan barcodes with) at work the other day to get my job done. Two were taken, one was broken and one was missing. The check-out manager said she didn't have one, then about ten minutes later, one of the check-out girls said, 'oh, here it is. It's been beside me all along, and I didn't realise'. I laughed, and my manager cracked a bit of a spaz at me for it.
But really, I'm so used to things going wrong (like when I dumped my ex, then I ran out of money, I got a parking fine, my grades at uni started slipping, and then my car got stolen), that I just laugh at it. After all, it's better than crying or going off at the people around you, like most people do. Are there others like me?
