The first time I met my girlfriend, I made her laugh and heard a loud but distinct squeak. When I asked her “Did you just squeak?” she smiled and said “I squeak when I laugh…” I was about to say that I thought it was cute, when she added “Loudly, and like a balloon.” with a big grin on her face. Which is how she found out that I snort when I laugh. My roommate tries to get both of us laughing so he can direct the symphony of silly noises. IYAMLOL

I used to work at a supermarket during school holidays. There was a time when we were having regular power outs for a few weeks. One day during my morning shift, my friend jokingly said that she wished that the power would cut out again so we could get an early break. Not five minutes later, the power did go out. My friend and I stared at each other, while the shift manager pointed accusingly at my friend and said, “Look at what you’ve done.” IYAMLOL

The classics department at my college decided to host a field trip to the MFA in Boston. On the ride back, the professor for my bus decided to put The Princess Bride in for our movie. She was telling the students on the bus “I expect you all to pay attention and be able to quote this movie word for word!” One of the seniors turned her head and said loudly, “As you wish, Professor!” The entire bus started laughing. IYAMLOL

Back in the days a female colleague was constantly complaining about the bad weather. For me, bad weather is good. One day she realized that for days it was always sunny when we were at the office, but nearly immediately switched to rainy when I was about to go home. She thus started blaming me. I said that it wasn’t windy enough for me. Two days later a small tornado hit the harbor 200 feet from my flat. She never stopped believing that my wishes influence the weather. IYAMLOL

I’m a guy with long hair and often I get mistaken for a girl. My girlfriend and I went out for lunch at a pizza shop one day, had already ordered, and were waiting. When the waitress delivered the pizza, she said, “Here you go ladies”. I wasn’t bothered by it, but my girlfriend froze. She asked me, “Did she just say what I think she did?” I nodded and we both started laughing. IYAMLOL

I was living with my best friend at the time. We rented a house off-campus and out in the woods out of town. One day, it was overcast. My friend said if it didn’t rain, we needed to go out and clear the limbs from the yard from the last storm. I paused, snf then reminded her I was part Native American and would just do a rain dance. I proceeded to do a spastic dance in the middle of the room for her amusement. It rained five minutes later. She was so freaked. IYAMLOL

One day, a customer brought his daughter with him, and Buddy — our mascot, a stray dog the boss adopted — greeted them as he does everyone. But the girl told him to sit down and shake a paw, and amazed everyone when he did! When her father asked the same thing, Buddy just looked on in disdain. IYAMLOL

I have a twin sister, and when we were 5 years old, my father got us matching T-shirts; both had a baby dragon holding a teddy bear on it but mine was blue and hers was pink. After proudly donning our t-shirts, my sister walked downstairs and proclaimed, “Look, Mommy, my dragon has a teddy bear ta hug!” I also walked down the stairs, and not knowing what my sister had said, I announced, “Mommy Mommy! My dragon has a snack!” I’m 23 now, and they still bring this up at family gatherings. IYAMLOL

I have two cats, Dot and Boo Boo. We’ve had Boo Boo for 13 years, but got Dot as an adult 6 months ago. The two despise each other and can’t look at the other without hissing. While watching TV, I had my back to the couch, I turned around to get something and noticed the two of them laying back to back. It was so cute. I petted Boo Boo and he lifted his head up, noticing Dot. He started hissing and ran away. I laughed so hard knowing he hadn’t seen her there the whole time. IYAMLOL

This took place back when I first read Percy Jackson and was so into it as to believe in the greek gods. We were having a particularly bad thunderstorm and I mused that Zeus had to be pretty mad at someone. Mom responded with a nonchalant, “Zeus doesn’t exist”, followed immediately by the LOUDEST clap of thunder we have ever heard. The kicker: she responded to that in a noticeably freaked out tone “Calm down, Zeus.” IYAMLOL
