I was waiting at a road crossing with loads of other strangers, waiting for the man to turn green. A little girl on the other side of the road did the most accurate impression of the ’beep beep’ that the crossing makes, so blind people know it’s safe to cross, and the entire crowd of people just stepped into the road.

I had seen her do it, so I stayed put, but I couldn’t stop laughing. My girlfriend was confused. 50 adults pranked by one absolute genius 6ish year old. It was magical. It was really busy, so traffic was hardly moving, there wasn’t a chance of being injured.

The first time I went to my current dentist, and he examined my teeth, it went something like this:

Dentist: Oh, looks like you still have all 4 wisdom teeth!

Me: Yea, never got them pulled.

D: Yea, and you don’t need to, you have a lot of space back there. You actually have a really wide jaw!

Me: Haha, thanks?

D: No, it’s not bad, it’s just your whole head is really big!

He seemed really excited about my wide jaw and big head.

I have a five and a half pound chihuahua. He’s about as intimidating as a bunny rabbit. I was walking him on the grass along the road.

A couple of walkers were coming near me and my dog started barking at them, so I picked him up. The guy says, “Thank you for picking him up. We were really scared.”

I once was canoeing with my fiancé for the first time, and we were having a bit of trouble at first getting a rhythm going, so we were along the edge of the water hitting the canal. This random couple was walking along the wall and said to his wife while pointing at us, “Ahh, canoeing, the true test of love.”

My fiancé and I burst into laughter for 20 minutes and then finally got our rhythm together.

I once showed up to a mate’s house with a bacon and egg roll from maccas. He jokingly asked, “Did you get me one?”

I did, and without saying a word I pulled it out of the bag and threw it to him, the wrapping dropped off in midair, he caught the burger one-handed, we both looked at each other in amazement.

Had a nasty throat and tonsil infection and went to the doctor, who looked in my throat and went, “Eww, that looks gross!” I said, “Is that your professional opinion?” and he says, “Yep! That’s the grossest thing I’ve seen in weeks! Eww!”

He was a super nice doctor and I knew he was just joking. He then gave me some nice meds and sent me on my way.

A doctor walked in real fast, head down, went straight to the sink to wash his hands. While washing his hands, he said he had “great news.” “You’re pregnant”.

Turned around, looked at me and said out loud, “Wrong person”. I’m a 43-year-old male.

Started college. Saw my brother’s best friend on campus, from a distance. Hard to miss: Nate’s 6’6″, skinny, long brown hair. Fitting of our childish friendship, I straight up open-field tackle the guy. From behind. Blindsided.

It’s not Nate. I apologize, and sheepishly run away. Three hours later, a girlfriend from high school introduces her new boyfriend to a group of us. It’s the guy I tackled. Danny. Super nice guy. We’ve been friends for 15 years.

I was in the drive-through of a Wendy’s. An employee exited the building with his headphones on singing Who Let The Dogs Out. He saw me, stopped singing, and walked away.

A few seconds later, he came up to my window and said, “Yes, that is what I’m listening to.” Then he walked away. I laughed so hard at the whole situation.

Not to me, but I was nearby. I was in a supermarket in the fruit and veg section. Two women were arguing behind me.

One says, “We should get this.” The other responds, “No! We’re getting this one! It’s better, I should know!” The first, sounding upset, says, “Yeah, but-” the other interrupts and says, “You know I was a chef! I worked at KFC!”

I had to go two aisles over so they didn’t hear me howling with laughter.
