To want to know the small things you do to make yourself laugh

[MaMaD1990]

Just that, nice and lighthearted. I sometimes beep and at random people I don't know as I'm driving and wave enthusiastically as if I know them. Their reactions are so funny sometimes, especially the ones who wave and look totally confused 😂

I always run upstairs and sing "she's a wonder, Wonder Woman" as I go

@TeeBee

Hide round corners and scare the living daylights out of my teenagers.

I do that too 🤣🤣.

Ds comes down the stairs like an elephant so I have time to stand behind the kitchen door which makes him jump as he opens it, every single time! He says he is going to have glass doors in his own house!

I use young people speak in teams messages. Obvs, def, fam, innit. I know the young members of our team will be cringing but makes me laugh.

The last time DH and I were in Next, I was delighted to spot a big anchor-shaped ornament in the bathroom section. I ran off to the big display of letter-shaped ornaments, found an M, turned it upside down and placed it next to the anchor. Continued with my purchases and cackled as I left the store. DH pretended he didn't know me. I am a respectable, mid-30's Sunday School teacher

I chase 8yo DD up the stairs at bedtime, pretending to be a crocodile. This started off as me amusing myself but she now comes downstairs to request it if I forget.

BlowDryRat You are my absolute hero for the Next antics!

I'm wondering why I never find these re-arranged letters & spices all of you have messed with...

I get in wardrobes in ikea and pretend ive come back from Narnia. I did this once and instead of my daughter, it was another customer. She actually hugged me

If im in the lingerie department i act out the scene from father ted where they get lost and can't find their way out.

I love this thread! Will be back to add some of my own.

@sashh I saw this the other day on Facebook and your post reminded me.

It's Irelands largest lingerie department, I understand...

🤣😂😂

Just watched Father Ted lingerie department clip.

The life affirming joy running through this thread is wonderful.

Me and DH do so many daft things people would think we are bonkers. The song from Peppa pig 'fruit and vegetables keep us alive, always remember to eat your five'
I once sang it to him as '....always remember to bang your wife' 😂
And now we always do songs to that same tune about stupid stuff

@OldGreyBoots
Our local Hobbycraft patrols the aisle now, but they always target kids, not the 50-something bloke. Arseholes is a difficult one because of the patrols. You have to be like Ocean’s Eleven... Arse is a good one, so are Bum, Fanny and Willy. Nothing obscene- it’s a family store.

@OldGreyBoots
But like you, I’ll do rude words in any possible medium. Don’t you find mugs take too long and give you away by clinking together?

I've just remembered the spam hiding.

A friend asked me to put span on my Iceland order for her. When it arrived it lived on the coffee table for 3 days, it was then hidden by my carer, I found it.

Then I hid it from him.

This went on for about 3 weeks, who knew hunting a tin os spam could be such fun.

If DH wants a lazy nap on a Saturday afternoon, to annoy him I follow him upstairs, put the radio on and declare that I’m going to serenade him to sleep.

I warble along to whatever song comes on whilst looking at him intensely and occasionally stroking his face.

A long time ago pre-kids DP and I did the supermarket shop in the evening, quite quiet. While I was off searching for mundane things like tea he would find the most preposterous things (giant turkeys, huge jars of stuff we never ate) and put them in the trolley to see if I noticed. It carried on until he threw his back out heaving a tv in there, but we still remember it fondly.

So funny.

Loved Malcolm Tucker.

Thanks ladies for an excellent thread. I decided to be more like you and last night resolved to do a number of things.

So today I have
Climbed up the stairs on all fours multiple times
Run down the stairs waving my arms flapping like a bird and making bird noises
Ballet danced between my kitchen and the stairs
Danced with a melon when the happy Monday’s ‘twisting me melon man’ song came on.
Sung like an animal crossing creature

Also I have been messing with dd2. When we had a conversation earlier I got far too close and she took a step back. I took a step closer to her, she stepped back etc until we had moved into a different room. She seemed very confused.

I also made two cuddly toys do naughty things.

Tomorrow I will be keeping this up. I haven’t laughed so much in ages.

Draw small cocks and balls(es?) on my husband’s work papers, which he discovers in his home office the next day.

@TeeBee I also do the hiding and jumping out thing!

The clock in the kitchen has stopped. Twice a day I wait until it's showing the right time and say to DH
'oh look the clock's working'
I think it's actually going to drive him insane. Not insane enough to change the battery so far.

A fart never fails to amuse! I particularly like the squeaky ones

I love to jump scare my boys too. Did myself in today though, thought DS3 was upstairs with me so I commando crawled to jump at him and he’d gone out with DH.

When in the office I would sometimes airdrop this image to random people, just looking at its stupid face cracks me up!

Misusing slang in front of your teen's friends is well sick. He was shook.

Being a biker AND autistic means that when I’m riding I can enjoy all the verbal tics and repetitive behaviour I normally struggle to suppress. I can squeak, beep, repeat words and phrases and talk to myself to my heart’s content, knowing that you can’t hear or see what I’m doing.

My brother and I recently spent a good hour getting Alexa to make fart noises - we were cracking up. We're both senior managers with adult children.

When visiting electrical shops using the display laptops and tablets to play silly songs on YouTube, and changing the setting to repeat

Oh and I also love to make things into songs. The one that has really stuck this year is 'come and wash your covid hands' in the tune of Jerry Sinclairs 'come and get your black bin bags' from Phoenix Nights.
