Real life movie moments?

We just cleaned out a satellite office, and took all the hard drives out of all the ancient PCs. The Boss said we could destroy them, so... A bag of hammers later, we were having an Office Space moment.
Anyone ever had a similar sense of deja vu? Share!

Ever hear about the giggle loop on BBC's sitcom, Coupling? It didn't happen to me during a moment of silence at a funeral.

It happened to me when a coworker described to me how his kid was struggling with leukemia.

And that is also how my cousin and I almost got kicked out of There Will Be Blood. The giggle loop turned into many broken glasses, over the course of a few hours. I never knew that had a name, so thanks!
