Society & Culture Things/Events you find amusing that no one else does

[Zarrix]

This is the topic where we list happenings or things we find amusing that are mundane through the eyes of most.

I will start.

• When I was at the airport last week waiting 5 hours for my flight back home, I would chuckle a little everytime a final boarding call was announced.
• When someone can't find something which I know the location of, I generally let them look around for a few seconds, amused by their antics before being the hero and locating the item

Sometimes when I'm on a bus or train I find it amusing when someone is squashed in the middle seat between 2 strangers. You can tell there uncomfortable and it's funny to watch there reactions.

I like it when i am walking down a busy street & i see people acknowledge other people walikng in a different direction. If they are not good friends, you can generally guage their relationship by the behaviour dislpayed. It's either:

1) Acknowledgee will either and/or nod, say G'day or smile with no head movement & keep walking.

2) Acknowledgee will run a number one with slight a head twist toward the acknowledger (usually accompianed by a smile).

3) The "shuffle", where the acknowledgee turns 180 degrees and walks backwards for a few steps & engages in a 2-3 second conversation with the acknowledger.

When someone asks me for a product at the supermarket I work at, and they get the word wrong so I make them repeat it a few times just to laugh at them. And then you say the correct word to show you aren't ******ed like them.

E.g.

Customer: Where do you keep your Gluetack?
Me: Pardon?
Customer: Gluetack?
Me: Blu-tack, yes it's in isle 5.

I think that more people say Gluetack than Blu-tack

Yeah probably... but they are wrong. What about the other day, someone asked me for 'Take-Ohs'. He meant tacos. I made him repeat himself. Haha

Similar to these. Every time I watch two buses drive past each other, i laugh at the token head nod that appears to be a requirement of the job.

I have 2...

1/ I always laugh at pilots. When I see them at the airport, just walking along, I laugh. No idea why.

2/ I always laugh at dogs hanging out the windows of cars. Again, no idea why.

Cynical people and what they say

Overly optimistic people and their zany beliefs is another.

When working an ambulance call it's a standard question to ask if the patient has any allergies or drug allergies. One time I asked that and the patient said he was allergic to Benadryl. I laughed my ass off and I was the only person in the room who thought it was funny. I still do. I'm laughing right now.

I remember a few years back being on a train and sitting at the end of the carriage looking back down the carriage. We hit a turn and as it does, the train shakes from side to side. All the people in unison rocked from side to side as well and for some unknown reason I found this hilarious.

I think a few of the other passengers thought I was insane but I enjoyed my giggle.

 

[Cole Dammett]

I thought of a less w***er one... something that more accurately fits the thread title...

When you drive up to a snow resort or any other high place like that, and you have a bag of chips unopened, because of the air pressure the bag becomes fully inflated. I laughed hysterically for ages the first time I saw this!

 

[BigBadCam]

Fat people trying to run makes me laugh.

You're right, that is funny.

Like Fremantle supporters.
