Is my sense of humour really "off"?

[CherryCupcake]

Just looking for some opinions.

I have a stupid sense of humour and what seems hilarious to me often seems pointless and ridiculous to others.

Anyway on Friday night my partner had had a bath and left his clothes and shoes in the bathroom.

Before we went to bed (around 1.30am) I went into the bathroom to wash etc and noticed a slug had slithered over his trousers that he had left on the floor, I found this quite funny but then decided to pick the slug up in some tissue and put it inside his shoe (just the slug itself, not the tissue). Once done I went into the living room with a straight face and said "hey, there's a slug in your shoe...I would've taken it out but I darnt touch it...".

DP said "a slug IN my shoe? don't lie" so I insisted it was true, tried so hard not to start laughing and in the end he went in to look...I heard him say "eww...and he picked the shoe up, dropped the slug into the toilet and said "goodbye" to it and I couldn't help but crease up, partly at my own joke but also at his calm reaction, I just thought it was hilarious and then when he started saying he couldn't understand how it had got into the shoe my stomach was actually hurting from laughing so much .

Anyway this morning we were talking about it and he half joked and said "I bet you put it there" and after laughing uncontrollably again I admitted I had.

Anyway, to my point...he didnt find it funny at all, he wen't really quiet and said he doesn't go around doing things to my stuff and doesnt expect me to do it to his etc...

Tonight I tried to joke about it again with him and he's adament that he doesn't find it funny and is still slightly annoyed by it and in his words "it's the other stuff you do too, it's just not funny".

I've been thinking it over and I just wanted some opinions really, was it a stupid thing to do? I only meant it as a joke but I don't want to be the irritating person that thinks she's funny but just gets on everyones nerves...

If your partner didn't "get on" with your sense of humour would you tone it down?

I used to live with my X bf in his mothers house. She had a little dog who refused to shit outside so everyday various members of the household would find little deposits around the house (bleurgh!)

One time when bf was having a shower I, very pregnant and very bored, decided to play a trick on him. I got a small packet of raisins and squished them, with water, into a ball and left then on the floor just inside the bedroom door and I lay on the bed watching tv trying not to laugh. In he came, barefoot and stepped right into the middle of it - "aw fuck, fuckin little bastard" - I break into a fit of uncontrolable laughter and finally manage to tell him it him that it wasn't shit.

He did not find it remotely funny but still makes me laugh

you would probably drive me nuts, I just don't think it's funny at all but each to their own and all that!

ktmoomoo, the one with the vampire teeth made me laugh out loud.

I have got a habit of smearing my lips with marmite and then giving him a kiss. He hates it.

Also, I like it when we are watching something and he is deep in thought, I usually throw something at him (like a furry bobble etc) and then scream. Gets him every time :d

just a little joke!....would make me laugh lots.....but it's not about me is it?!?

Radley, I throw things and scream. My favourite is the spidery top from a tomato. Gets him every time

hahahah....[grin lol at radley]and wth

Nah, I dont do puerile humour.

And a joke is only funny if you are both laughing......

abroller very good! Laffing at this thread.

When I was with my ex I was sat watching TV one day...he came in with some beads that his mum had sent us, he didn't know what to do with them so gave them to me and went back into the kitchen.

I had this overwhelming urge to just chuck them across the living room...so I did

I then shouted of him and it went like this:

me - "Darren, come here quick..."

(he comes running in)

him - "what?"

(I put a dopey, confused expression on and said...)

me - "I threw them..."

(he looks even more confused)

him - "why??"

(I don't change expression at all..)

me - "I threw them..."

at this point DP gets on his hands and knees and starts picking them up mumbling "for fucks sake, what's the fucking point in that really..." pmsl

It still makes me laugh to this day, confusion is the funniest thing in the world!

ROFLMAO LS. That's brilliant.

Oops, meant LT

UCM lol...
The rest of you - how old are you? What most of you discribe is purile and childish, and no, its not funny...

Well I'm 29 and I reserve the right to let my inner child out to play once in a while.

We can't always be in the role of mother, colleague, subordinate, dutiful daughter, responsible grown up. Life is all about balance IMO, fun has to figure in there somewhere.

Fun is great. Everyone should have fun. Absolutely.

But at someone elses expense? Really?

yep

I love all those home video programmes where people do silly things caught on camera or the prank calls like this one

One of my funniest moments in my whole life has to be the day that dp had REALLY pissed me off, so I was in the kitchen washing up and id farted...moments later dp comes in to the kitchen his arm outstretched clambering for the window saying "What the Fuck is that SMELL?"
I said "I dont know"
and he flung the back door open "Rancid Stench!" and went round the house opening all the windows and it was ME...
Oh I chuckled and chuckled and chuckled.

lmao Cherry
I think it is hilarious (as are all other anecdotes on this threa)d0 but then again, am a 40 year old woman who regularly indulges in wrestling matches in pools with my 42 dh where I end up nearly drowning through laughing.

I think it's funny, cherry.

The slug was already there. A funny situation presented itself to you. You told dh there was a slug in his shoe, you didn't let him stand on it.

It didn't really involve dh though so I can see he didn't find it so hilarious. Keep these things to yourself. Jjust as charliecat did.

Slug is hilarious. I hid my ex's shoes in the freezer once, still can't really remember why. I don't get the bodily functions being amusing thing, that should be for smelly boys
Laughing is good for you

Love this stuff - I sometimes wish my DW would be more daft, but she at least doesn't mind my daftness.

My stepmother, now, is DAFT - she had this REALLY realistic manniquin head with real hair from her days as a trainee hairdresser, and she regularly used to hide it in the freezer and then ask guests to get the peas out for her.

She also used to take a featherduster to school to fetch my step-siblings, and drive slowly up to the gates while dusting the roof of the car. She'd also occasionally drive up to the school with the manniquin head wound up in the car window by its neck.

Have to say that dh is very juvenile but he does crack me up.
When his mother is in the front of the car he waits for her to get out and when she leans back in to grab her handbag he pulls her hair, well he doesn't really pull it, just holds on to it so she can't pull away and she's stuck there with her arse hanging out of the car for her neighbours to see. He's always pulling the piss out of her, she says he was always a bit of a brat but that he keeps her young!

lmao

lifesteeth- why was that funny? throwing something on the floor and sayng 'i threw them'??

my dh wouldn't have picked them up! wuld have made you do it!

A joke's only a joke if it's shared, really. Not much fun otherwise.

But is this the same guy you were terrified of a few weeks ago because he's bi-polar, aggressive, violent, and had thrown you out?

Not sure I'd be putting slugs in the shoes of someone so unpredictable, personally.

Uh oh....
