Funny things that have happened during lockdown?

[LockedInLockdown]

Lighthearted thread. Let’s have some fun!

Me- I ordered x2 pizzas last week, due to social distancing they left the pizzas on the floor. I picked them up & my pizza fell out of the box I found it funny, then I got angry 😡 I would have prefers for it to have been DHs pizza that fell out of the box

Both DC let me cut their hair tonight (after wine too). Cut DD15 a fringe, and took an inch off the length. Shaved DS12 grade 1 round the sides, then attempted to 'blend' to the top ....DD wouldn't let me within a mile of her hair normally.

Not funny to an outsider but highly recommended - a week ago, DP and I were sat having a few drinks and I randomly said "fancy a game of hide and seek?". Cue a good hour of absolute belly laughs, especially when it took me about 20 minutes to find her in our 3 bed terraced house (even though I was centimetres away from her at one point). She's very petite and very good at hide and seek as it turns out. We're almost 30 with no kids

Now the Hide and Seek is funny

On the outward stretch of my usual dog walk, past a shopping basket placed carefully on the path with a single ready meal inside.
On return stretch the basket had attracted quite a little gathering ( spaced out of course)
I was really tempted to pick it up on my way past whist saying, that’s where I left it out loud. But I didn’t.
Weird times.

My dog keeps trying to mount me. He's a chihuahua and it's cringey. I can't get
Him done as it's
Not an emergency appointment.
Not funny to me but my DD and DH find
It funny.

I bought my DD a kit for stretching her legs- she’s a dancer and needs to keep her flexibility up. She was showing me how well she could hoist her leg behind her when she over balanced and fell forwards. Rather than letting go of the strap pulling up her leg, she clung on for dear life, effectively hoisting herself upside down by the ankle. She was shrieking for help and I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to tell her just to let go of the strap.

He's a chihuahua and it's cringey.

Give him a big teddy- we had bonky the bunny and humpy the hare

God I will have to pick one to sacrifice to him!

I live opposite a grassy area and like to sit at window and people watch just now. 2 dogs got so excited to see each other (from a good 12ish feet apart) that 1 broke free and the lead fell out the owners hand.

They were trying to separate the humping and arse sniffing dogs without actually going near each other.

Was most amusing.

Assume usually wonder would have just walked over and grabbed lead/collar.

Went to get a big shop this morning. Delighted by the good social distancing of other shoppers. Got home and realised my leggings were on inside out. Hmmm.

It wasn’t funny at the time but I accidentally undid the salt whilst trying to add it to my painstakingly made risotto, a meal I love and dh doesn’t so we don’t often have it. I could have cried. Dh gave me his and made himself cheese on toast instead. Also, inspired by a lockdown induced random online shopping thread, I was quite surprised to find dh had ordered a really ugly snake draft excluder thing. It was about as long as the postman who was trying to shove it in the porch window. It’s now laying there being ugly and intermittently humped by the dog. Who is a Randy little fuck.

That sounds really funny.

Once I was sitting in a park by my old
Apartment and this women came
In who must have fed the pigeons quite often. They were clearly expecting her.

Anyway, She hadnt even got the bread out of the bag properly and they came from nowhere and literally Robbed the bag out of her hands. There were about twenty pigeons all trying to get this bag of bread but she wouldn't let go. I was sitting there like "omg give the bread up" but she wouldn't.

It doesn't sound very funny and she wasn't hurt and it was actually hysterical. Went on for about ten minutes. I was crying laughing. She gave me pure evils when she left.

DH and I went to a shopping session for the "old and/or vulnerable". We are both about 60. I took hospital letters as evidence of health conditions but no one asked us. They must have thought we were 70 (or more)

DD has taken to saying "Noone likes you Karen" to DS1 at regular intervals.

DP has started wearing a Garmin watch that show his GPS coordinates and maps of the surrounding area. We're not going anywhere 🙄

Just before lockdown I won a $2000 hamper of high end skin care in a raffle. I now sit about in my oldest clothes with massively expensive products on my skin.

thequeenbeyond it sounds very funny. There is nothing better than a memory that has you crying at the recollection.

Nothing specific but I'm enjoying work so much at the moment. We are laughing all day long about ridiculous things.

startup love it 😂

I am loathe to use my lovely Molton Brown mil always gets me because it smells too nice.

No way am I using it to get a shower and sit in front of my PC in the dining room answering calls and emails 😂

Although I did do my makeup and hair today for no other reason than for myself 🤷

I did an online order for cat food. Something wrong must have happened during the choose quantity part(Maybe too much wine!) as now I’ve got a hall full of cat food and can barely get to my door. And the cats of the neighbourhood are lining up at my door with their little baskets 2 metres apart! That last bit isn’t true! Really

DD7 has taken responsibility for meal planning. "Hmmm, we better have pizza tonight," she said this evening. "It is one of our 5 a day."

Followed by, "Ice cream is very good for the bones, you know."

@Artinsurance if it's anything like me and my apple watch, he's using it to try and make sure he gets sufficient exercise daily despite the lockdown. I'm finding it immensely useful.

@Artinsurance yours is the best so far. It made me chuckle

What my toddler finds exciting to play with. My 14 month old can’t get enough of an old box of panty liners I have. She desperately runs to the drawer in my dresser whenever she can in order to get the box out, empty its contents and then put them back in again. My 2 year old keeps asking what’s this for mummy, what do you do with it? Other items of great excitement are sponges, boxes of dried pasta and the potty (especially when being used)

Spoonblender If it weren't for the fact that he has another watch to do just that, I'd agree 😀

It's a fancy toy he's had for about 18 months, which he did buy for a trip where it could have been put to use but which sadly fell through. He never set it up then. He's had time now but now no real purpose to use it. When he needs to use it properly he'll have forgotten again.

DHs cousins have turned into virus experts. It's amazing. Usually their specialist subjects are weather, rugby and darts.

Their specialist knowledge doesn't extend as far as taking over the family food shop for their Nurse mother now (they are 40, still both living at home and have no additional needs by the way, just never matured past the late teenage stage.)
