Funny anecdotes

Post Reply New Topic

Let's share some funny anecdotes how our symptoms have been humorous in retrospect.

1) On our honeymoon I argued with the ferry teller in New Zealand that we should be charged MORE for our bags, because I had read the baggage rules beforehand. My husband was seriously wondering whether he married the right person.

2) On our honeymoon while waiting to check in at our hotel, I noticed a wall rack of DVD's that were not alphabetized. While we were standing around doing nothing, I took it upon myself to alphabetize all the DVDs. I was very proud of myself; however, my husband was wondering how he wound up marrying me.

3) On our honeymoon my husband got pulled over and ticketed by a cop for "speeding." He still insists he was doing a reasonable speed limit. It was my turn to wonder how I could marry someone like HIM--a breaker of traffic law!

My wife and I both enjoy Quentin Tarantino movies and just recently watch Django Unchained at the theater. The Oscars were on the other day and I yelled upstairs to where she was watching it to ask:

me: How many awards did Django Unchained win?
her: none so far, but Quentin did win one for best original screen play.
me: For Django?
her: NO, for Dirty Dancing!
me: What? Dirty Dancing?
her: I am being sarcastic!
me: Oooooh...hehe.

I've told this story before, but it is very illustrative of my seeming lack of a sense of humor.

I am a proofreader and the resident spelling Nazi where I work. I replied to an email, and somehow I managed to misspell a word in it. For some reason, the very intimidating company vice president read it and sent me a reply that said"SP". Of course, I immediately sent out another email apologizing for my mistake and spelling the word correctly. Several months later when I was cleaning out my mailbox, I found the email and it dawned on me that he was probably kidding.
