Have you ever laughed at an inappropriate moment?

Answer 1

Yes, when the Vicar tripped over the microphone wire at a funeral. Sorry couldn't help it!!

Answer 2

I laughed at my father's funeral.

My dad was an artist and loved bright colours. The priest had a go at the mourners for all wearing black when he had ''put on his most colourful frock'' for the occasion. Then he messed up the music by pressing rewind rather than pause so we ended up listening to the same song while the priest got flustered. Then one of my dads friends knocked on the coffin and said ''Just checking'' and then we all got trapped behind the curtains at the crematorium. I felt like I was in a hidden camera show.

It was funny and I am pretty sure dad would have laughed too. In fact I am sure it's just the way he would have wanted things to be.

Answer 3

I went to the funeral of an ex girlfriend's grandad, and really had to stifle a fit of the giggles when the priest started saying things like 'We are one in Him, He is one in us, and we are all one together'. About three days earlier I'd watched a Billy Connolly sketch where he takes the piss out of a priest he'd heard saying the exact same thing! Nobody else but my ex noticed which was a bonus, but she'd seen the sketch too, so was also trying hard not to laugh! Coming from a devout Irish Catholic family, it probably wouldn't have gone down well!

Answer 4

I've done that a few times. And cheered at the wrong team, too, just out of sheer perversity, because everyone else around me seemed to be so grim and joyless at the time.

As for when somebody says "Would you care to share the joke with the class?" or whatever, it's always handy to have one right off the top of one's head. The naughtier, the better. One with nuns in is good. I guarantee you'll never get to finish it, either way. :-) but that's half the fun.

Answer 5

Yep, all the time, doesn't go down well when the boss is having a rant in a staff meeting, often have to sit near a sympathetic colleague who will nip me at the appropriate moment!

Answer 6

Once at a funeral of a friend - he was the black-sheep of the family, and everything they said, from how much they loved him to how great he was, was complete rose fertiliser. He would have had stitches if he'd seen and heard it for himself.
Every time i was getting epiglottis from my mother. She'd shout " get that smirk off your face before i wipe it off for you!" then I'd get the urge to laugh hysterically as i tried to prevent the pee from escaping. It continued through the whacks, then i'd be kept in for a week.

Answer 7

Yes because for some reason, things are always funneir at inapporpriate moments. Like in church when everyone's praying, or while you're taking a test.

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

Absolutely! Laughing is not always because one is amused, sometimes it is simply a way of releasing inner nervous tension although it can be very embarrassing in some situations.

Answer 10

yes when highly stressed or really tired or anxious.its hwen I do that...that I also cannot STOP laughing.
Ihad to leave a restuarant once and stand outside alone.....with many people walking by (it was NYC) while I stood out there and continued laughing so hard.........
it was for no particular reason..............just when the waiter brought my food..and sat it in front of me.I burst out laughing because it looked funny to me............. I had made a special request with my food........and he kinda messed it up.

Answer 11

There is nothing funny about an inappropriate moment - why should I laugh at it? Now, parrots . . . that's a different matter.
