One time, a drill instructor was doing a drill in extremely hot weather. He noticed a recruit looking really dazed. Instead of scolding him, he said, 'Son, you look like a melted popsicle. Now stand up straight like a real soldier!' Then he pretended to hold an invisible umbrella over the recruit to 'protect' him from the sun, which brought some laughter to the tired group.
A drill instructor was trying to teach the recruits about camouflage. He asked one recruit to demonstrate how he would hide in the field. The recruit lay down on the ground but his bright white socks were sticking out. The drill instructor then said, 'If the enemy doesn't see you, they'll surely see those socks from miles away. They're like beacons!' and then proceeded to cover the recruit's feet with mud while everyone laughed.
There was a drill instructor known for his strictness but also his sense of humor. Once, a recruit accidentally dropped his rifle during inspection. Instead of getting really mad, the drill instructor picked up the rifle, pretended it was a guitar and started 'playing' it while singing a military - themed song. It made everyone laugh and also eased the tension in the group.
One great story is about a drill instructor who had a recruit that was really struggling with marching in step. Instead of yelling at him constantly, the instructor spent extra time after hours teaching him the rhythm. By the end of basic training, that recruit was one of the best marchers in the unit. It shows that not all drill instructors are just about discipline through shouting.
Sure. There was a drill instructor who challenged his recruits to a physical fitness test. He said if they could all beat their personal bests in running, push - ups and sit - ups, he would do 100 push - ups himself. The recruits were so motivated that they all achieved their goals. And true to his word, the drill instructor did those 100 push - ups right there, sweating and grunting. It was a moment of great inspiration for the recruits.
In some funny fire drill stories, the funniest part is often the costumes or items people bring. There was a story where a man came out in his pajamas and a sleeping cap during a fire drill at an apartment building. He looked so out of place among all the formally dressed people. Also, when pets are involved, it can be really humorous. A cat once climbed onto a person's head during a drill because it was scared, and the person just walked around like that until someone noticed and helped.
Well, the trend of DIY haircuts in 2020 was quite funny. A lot of people attempted to cut their own hair when salons were closed. Some ended up with really strange and uneven hairstyles that they had to live with for a while. It was funny to see their before - and - after pictures on social media.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
One memorable story is about a gangsterbb called Max. He was in a 'negotiation' with another gang. He was trying to act all tough and intimidating. But his pants accidentally split right in the middle of the meeting. Everyone burst out laughing, and the tense situation turned into a comedy. He was so embarrassed that he just ran away. It was really funny how something so unexpected could completely change the mood.
One funny story is about a tenant who painted the entire apartment bright pink without permission. When the landlord saw it, his face was priceless. He immediately evicted the tenant. Another time, a tenant filled the bathtub with live fish and was using it as a makeshift fishpond. The landlord walked in and couldn't believe his eyes. That led to an eviction too.
