Laughing is the best therapy. If you laugh hard enough it can also be a workout. And if you laugh harder-er, it can even induce vomiting for those occasions when you swallow something poisonous and the label says it is ok to do so.
That's weird humor.
There are certain moments when you absolutely shouldn't laugh, otherwise you are jerk and you suck.
lalalalala..
Conversation is going smoothly. Lalala.. wait for it..
Boom!
Wait, let me do that again:
It just slipped out, you said it.
Sometimes I wonder about those women who change boyfriends all the time, I mean how do they keep track of their names and such? How do they remember the guy’s favorite color or his favorite food? How do they not get names confused?
One of the posts that got Freshly Pressed on here — *applause* ..oh, thanks guys! ..*you guys are still applauding* thank you, thank you! *you guys don’t calm down* [barely audible: thank you guys, really] *applause* Thanks! *applause fades* … So what was I saying? Ah yes, the Freshly Pressed post —*applause*
Ok! Guys, seriously!
The freshly pressed post was titled “Forgetting someone’s name“, and even though it wasn’t that great or anything, it shows that this stuff is pretty common. When someone calls you by name, and you can’t remember their name, it makes the whole thing uncomfortable. The thing here is a little different though, you didn’t forget their name, you actually remembered someone else’s instead of their own.
I’ve been called Mike, Edgar, and even Hen. Every single one of those times, I just pretended I didn’t hear it. They noticed. And I let them simmer in the awkwardness.
And the same has happened the other way around. I made an interesting discovery: people will not usually call your attention to it. Though I am sure you can think of that one person that is not afraid of causing drama and will say “What did you just call me?”
In relationships though, things are a little different. It seems like even the simple things, such as farting, become a huge deal. Even liking or commenting on someone else’s photos can get you in trouble.
Things can get pretty crazy if you get the name wrong, just sayin’.
Well maybe that is a little extreme, but people get mad and feelings get hurt through that honest mistake.
Be careful. But don’t think about it too much because then you’re going to do it and then blame me for it. I don’t want that.
Let’s keep it PG-Rated 13. With just a splish splash of R.
Hahaha, kidding, jeez.
You can be the most normal person in the world, but awkward moments can and will still happen to you. What you do afterwards can either make the situation better or more awkward. Let’s look at some good tips to follow when under these situations. In order to enhance your experience, please play the following song while reading this post.
Are you playing it? It’s the Benny Hill theme song. Oh yeah. Without further ado, let us begin.
Handshake, high five, hug, slap? If there is any confusion about what’s gonna happen, just grab the person and embrace the crap out of them.
Jerk.
You’re going to give me a high five whether you like it or not!
Sometimes there is no pocket.
Even if she’s turning around.
Anything can happen.
