Things that get you laughed at by neighbors and loved ones

Having your wife walk in on you in the kitchen singing the New Kids on the Block song “Hangin’ Tough” to yourself.

And rightly so! Christ, what were you thinking?

And post more oftem, dammit. Ya friggin’ slacker. :wink:

Almost a year later, and I still get teased for the cat-box incident.

Great mental image!

Yea, that’s funny.

What in the hell were you doing that for?!?!?! Did you expect people not to laugh at you?

I’m almost ashamed to be posting in the same thread as you, Mullinator

(The most recent incident involved me falling out of a small plane —while it was still on the ground, of course!— because I got my foot tangled in the cord that hooks the headphones to the dashboard, or cockpit, or whatever the heck it is. Wow, that hurt.)

This didn’t happen to me, but to my dad’s boss, and has the smell of a joke enhanced by being told in the first person, but for what it’s worth . . .

"One of my brother’s favorite things to do growing up was giving me ‘noogies’ which wasn’t hard to do, as he was several years older than me and a lot bigger. Even as adults, he’s still quite a bit bigger than me, and continued doing this at every opportunity. I always swore I’d get him back, and carefully waited for my opportunity.

My brother and I were busy installing outlets in a housing division. One day, I came into work a few minutes late due to traffic problems, and found Frank squatting beside a baseboard instlling an outlet. He hadn’t heard me, so I snuck up behind him, and screeched a battle cry as I clamped him in a head lock. He started bucking and screaming obsceneties at me, but I wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass by, so I held on for dear life and gave him noogies to make up for a childhood filled with them. For a good minute, I rubbed his head with my knuckles until both his scalp and my hand were bruised and bleeding, when I finally let go.

And I had never seen this man before in my life. He was the building inspector come to test the wiring."
