Social Discomfort And Amusing Thoughts...

Post Reply New Topic

Today, I had my usual three monthly trip to the hairdresser... I always do this when I am at my mother's in London, and go to the same guy as her...he has been doing her hair for 12 years and mine for maybe 8 years, on and off...but I find it very uncomfortable. There is the mirror, and him stood behind, and he is one of those friendly types who tries to make conversation. Last time, I actually managed to have an ok conversation, although still incredibly uncomfortable. Today...it didn't quite work lol.

I was sat there, looking at my lap and thoughts racing through my mind to keep myself distracted...when as he was blowdrying my hair, I had this hilarious image in my mind of my hair all bouffant and sticking out everywhere like a hedge...naturally, my lips started to twitch and I was trying so hard to stifle a grin...so I tried to focus on something really serious, but then...Oh God, he tried to undo the apron thing around me and pulled tight for a moment...and I had this image of a newspaper headline, 'Hairdresser strangles customer'. Oh dear, that almost had me grinning insanely, I had to put so much effort into not laughing and looking totally insane.

Anyone else have any funny incidents like this?

YEP, I have the same problem.

Hello,

Do you mean that everyone does not find amusing things in daily life that make them laugh hysterically at inoprtune moments?

Damn thats what all those funny stares were!

I have the same problem. Overactive imagination. I can be thinking about something really funny and people will just stare at me. My family are used to it (sorta).

I think it's hilarious!

It's even funnier when you get a joke two hours after it was told.

I do that a lot. I'll be walking dowh the street and start thinking about something and start laughing to myself. That's about when I go around a corner to find someone looking at me and I try to stifle it but sometimes it doesn't work too well.

Yeah it happens to me quite a lot.

Also, do you find that people sometimes think you've got a really clever sense of humour because you sound sarcastic or ironically stupid.... except in truth you honestly don't have a clue what's going on?

Last night we had a band play and they were playing with oneof my stuffed animals on the stage..and the guy made a quiet comment onstage about how sad it looked (it was this sad bear i didn't make but altered to look sad)..and I started laughing hystericly and then everyone turned around and stared at me.

Lmao! Hairdresser strangles client...that's fooking hilarious XD

I've had a random humour moment or two, right when I didn't need it (hence, needed it the most). Major deadline moment, running around like a mad thing tending to the rest of the office and our sales team of five...I'm the only graphic designer in a fairly hefty publication Everyone's always calling me over...it's stressful. Someone demanded my attention again...I barked a loud 'WHAT?!' as I got up from my seat to head over to them... some dumbass had ONCE AGAIN rearranged my desk (the boss hates my messy desk) and had moved my bigass grunty headphones to the other side of the table.

Of course, that meant they were wrapped around me.

Which of course means I faceplanted, as in literally faceplanted anime-style, over the long cord! Cue tension dissipation in place of hysterical laughter all around. No more grumpy designer...

hee hee...yep, i do this all the time. when a kid makes a joke in class i analyze the joke and find all possible scenarios for the joke to increase its hilarity.

Inappropriate humor?
All the time.
Could be one more reason I don't go to church!

This happens to me all the time!.
Just today, I was walking back from lunch and amusing myself as I walked, when one of my workmates walked past me and asked why I was so "smiley" .
I can get away with it in the office because my desk faces the wall and no-one can see my face. Keeping myself silent is the hard part
