Inappropriate places for laughter. - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Okay, so I was in the dentist chair today and about halfway through a filling procedure whilst he was drilling away part of my tooth, I got from out of nowhere a Jeff Dunham quote about dentists stuck in my head. [I'm trying to find the youtube link now if any of you guys don't know what I'm talking about.]. But having a purple puppet on loop in your head talking about how great it would be to be a ventriloquist at a dentist is *not* good timing! Thankfully, I managed to refrain from bursting into hysterical fits of laughter with a drill in my mouth.

Have there been any times for you guys that have yeilded inappropriate laughter?

Paragon · 22nd Oct 2009, 10:38 AM

in class, ALL the time, your doing a freat job of hiding it then it just explodes out of you!!

**Ben** · 22nd Oct 2009, 10:50 AM

Oh I hate when it explodes. And it's worse when you explode at something really unfunny because it's just been building up. Then everyone stares.
I tend to laugh when I'm nervous or scared.

Umm, well this isn't the same but my friend got a call about how her mom was giving away her rabbit. It was really sad and she got really upset. Then she said how her mom does this whenever she goes away (gives away her animals) and for some reason i could not stop laughing about that. :X It's making me giggle right now thinking of it. Oh well.

Erm never watch a YouTube video in class...it's really a stupid idea.

Apocalypte · 22nd Oct 2009, 11:35 AM

Ditto reading the /r/funny or /r/WTF reddits in class...

impossibleornot · 22nd Oct 2009, 11:37 AM

During lectures in university, it happens ALOT. Yesterday, in my ecology lecture, we were talking about malnutrition and where it is predominatly is. Then my friend pulls out a sandwich and looks over, and says "im going to hell"..terrible but funny lol.
Also, i recently bought a messenger/ sacchel bag. When i told my friend i wanted one, she whispered in really quiet voice "but only gay people wear those" ( i havent quite declared that im gay)..so me and another friend started to burst out laughing because of how embarassed she was to say the word gay..hehe

And by far the most innapropriate place would be at a fundraiser. This was an indian fundraiser for heart research..150$ to get in (side note: im NOT racist, but it sounds like it for the story)..well including me and 2 friends there was about 15 white ppl out of 400 ppl. The key note speaker started making indian jokes and we started laughing...well about 50 ppl immediately stopped laughing and looked at us

lol...kinda awkward

**lostinthought9** · 22nd Oct 2009, 11:44 AM

Oh man, I hate it when something funny pops in your head at wrong times. XD

Somewhat similar story, we were in English class the other day, and our teacher walks in, and we notice, and she announces that only half her face is working. She said it's Cerebal Palsy (sp?), and I started laughing. NOT at the fact that she had this, but because I thought she was serious when she said she practicing to be 2-faced Harvey for Halloween. She called me out on my laughter, which I was trying so desperately to hide. She was cool with it, because she's just so laid-back. But, yea, the rest of the class period I was trying to hold back uncontrollable laughter.

xballetxbeautyx · 22nd Oct 2009, 03:35 PM

When I was younger, like elementary school, I would laugh when I got nervous or uncomfortable. Like when my fourth grade teacher told me our class water-frog had died, I was super-uncomfortable because I was the only one there and I had just been told this really sad news one-on-one with my sort of weird teacher. So I almost laughed.

I still sort of do the same thing, though. Like if I'm with someone I have a crush on and she says something mildly funny, I laugh way more than is necessary.

jazzrawr · 22nd Oct 2009, 03:40 PM

I laugh inappropriately all the time. And sometimes, my laughter is really loud.

My teachers have a habit of saying things that can be taken as sexual innuendos without realizing it, so me and everyone I'm sitting with tend to burst out in laughter in the middle of talking about reading Shakespeare ("Just open it up, and plow right in! Don't be afraid of it!").

GhostDog · 22nd Oct 2009, 03:50 PM

The giggle loop!

And god, yeah, my friend likes to text me random shit all the time and I'll be in class and desperately trying to avoid laughing.

... But mostly I replied to share the giggle loop clip. =P

Haha, my choir teacher does the same thing! "Don't move your mouth so much, girls! Use your tongue more!" Also, he says "We stop to start again" when we put away one piece of music and get out another to remind us not to talk. Once at a cast party someone was dared to do an impression of him and his wife having sex:

"Yep. Yep. Yep, that's good. Oh, yep. This is good. Oh- oh, that's okay. We stop to start again."

I died inside every time he said the phrase for weeks after.

+ YouTube Video

x2x2x2x2y2 · 22nd Oct 2009, 06:01 PM

I do this all the time. I have a bad timing for laughter. People often don't take me seriously cuz I laugh way to much and at the wrong times.

Étoile · 22nd Oct 2009, 06:05 PM

ALL THE TIME!!! I cannot stand it; it always hit me when the class is dead silent. My best friend has it worse though. He randomly burst out laughing so much, people think he's schizophrenic. (No offense to those suffering with the terrible disease) Then, his manical laughter makes me laugh, making us both look like lunatics laughing at absolutely nothing.

22nd Oct 2009, 08:46 PM

I do this...all the time. The most inappropriate time, recently, that I can think of is the poetry reading I went to tonight for my Creative Writing class. The woman we were listening to read in a monotone, and did this weird...lowering of her tone/dragging out of the words at the end of a line. It sounded so ridiculous...

My friend started laughing, then I started laughing...and that was all she wrote. There's a reason we sat in the very back...

22nd Oct 2009, 09:09 PM

Haha... I did this today

I was talking to my friend in the hall in a group of people, and these two girls (both of whom I know and have talked to before) started getting all bitchy towards each other. I just laughed a little bit, but then I realized they were being serious, and I was like "Oops." *walk away*
But yeah, laughing is my defense mechanism. If I don't know how to react to something, I tend to smile and/or laugh. Especially if things are already awkward. I've never done the "laugh in the middle of silence" thing though.
