There was a therapist who had a patient who believed they were a superhero. Instead of dismissing it, the therapist played along. They created scenarios where the 'superhero' had to use their powers to overcome emotional challenges. For example, the 'superhero' had to use their 'invisibility' to hide from negative thoughts. It was really funny and also very therapeutic as it made the patient more confident in dealing with their real - life problems.
I know a story where a therapist's office was right next to a construction site. During a session, the loud drilling noises outside were very distracting. Instead of getting frustrated, the therapist incorporated it into the session. He told the patient that just like the construction was trying to build something new, they were also building a new mindset. The patient found it so funny and it actually helped them focus better.
A massage therapist told me about a client who came in wearing a shirt with a really big and goofy face on it. Every time the therapist looked at it during the massage, it made them smile. Also, there was a client who was so eager for the massage to start that they jumped onto the table before the therapist was even ready, knocking over a bottle of massage oil in the process.
I remember a story from 2023 where a little kid at a park thought a statue was a real person and started having a full - blown conversation with it. The kid was asking questions like 'Why are you so quiet?' and waiting for an answer. It was really cute and funny.
My friend has a Roomba that has a habit of getting attracted to shiny things. One day, it chased a coin all around the living room until it finally sucked it up. Then it seemed so proud of itself, like it had found a great treasure. Also, my own Roomba once managed to climb onto a small rug and got stuck there. It was just spinning in place, and when I went to check, it looked like it was trying to do some sort of crazy stunt.
There was a man who accidentally fell asleep during his MRI. He was snoring really loudly and the technicians were trying hard not to laugh. When he woke up, he had no idea what had happened and was confused as to why they were all smiling. It was a hilarious moment.
One of the funniest was when we had a substitute teacher. My friend thought it would be hilarious to put a fake bug on her chair. When she sat down and saw it, she jumped up and screamed so loudly. She then realized it was fake and started laughing along with us.
I know a story where a nanny was dressing up the kids for a costume party. She put a hat on a little boy backwards and then couldn't figure out why it looked so odd. When she finally realized, she and the kids couldn't stop laughing.
In a farm, there was a duck that followed a group of chickens everywhere. The chickens were a bit annoyed at first, but then they just accepted the duck as part of their flock. It was so funny to see the duck waddling along with the chickens, trying to do everything they did, like pecking at the ground for food, even though its beak was shaped a bit differently.
One funny story is about a player who accidentally sent all his troops off a cliff in an RTS game. He thought he was giving an order to move forward but misclicked. It was so funny to watch all those units just disappear.
I know of a placement at a flower shop. A newbie was arranging the flowers for a big order. She got so carried away with making the bouquets look beautiful that she didn't realize she had used all the roses for one bouquet. When the customer came to pick up the order, there was one huge rose - filled bouquet and a bunch of other bouquets with no roses. The customer was amused and ended up buying just the big one.
A phlebotomist told me that she had a patient who was a magician. While she was getting ready to draw blood, the magician patient did a little magic trick with a coin to distract himself. He made the coin disappear and then reappear in his other hand. It was so unexpected and funny that it really lightened the mood in the room.
