I had a shitty day when my car broke down on the way to a job interview. I was so stressed. But while waiting for the tow truck, I started chatting with an old lady at the bus stop. She told me the most hilarious stories about her youth, like the time she accidentally dyed her hair green trying to make it blonde. By the time the tow truck arrived, I was in a much better mood.
One time I woke up late for work. I was in such a rush that I put on two different shoes. One was a black sneaker and the other was a brown loafer. I didn't notice until I got to the office. My colleagues couldn't stop laughing. It was embarrassing at first, but then it just became a really funny story we all shared.
Once, I was having a day full of small disasters. I dropped my phone, burned my toast, and got stuck in traffic. But then, at the grocery store, I saw a toddler trying to push a shopping cart that was twice his size. He was so determined and his little face was all scrunched up in concentration. It was so adorable that it made me forget all my troubles for a while.
Once, I planned a nice outdoor picnic. But as soon as I got to the park, it started to rain heavily. I ran to find shelter, slipped on the wet grass, and landed in a muddy puddle. My clothes were all dirty and the picnic was ruined. However, when I told my friends about it later, we all had a good laugh. It's funny how sometimes the worst days can turn into the best stories.
One shitty teacher story I know is that a teacher always picked on one student for no reason. He would single out this student in class, ask difficult questions just to embarrass the kid, and would give unfair grades on the student's assignments. It was really disheartening for the student.
The old doll in the attic blinked. Now it's sitting on my bed.
One day I woke up late for an important meeting. I rushed out of the house with my shirt half - tucked. As I was running to the bus stop, I slipped on a banana peel that was just lying there. I landed on my butt in a really comical way. But the best part was that a little kid nearby started laughing and said, 'You look like a clown, mister!' At first, I was embarrassed, but then I couldn't help but laugh at myself too. And that little incident turned my bad day into a somewhat funny one.
There was a group of veterans at a Veterans Day parade. One of them had a little dog that he brought along. The dog was wearing a tiny military hat. During the parade, the dog suddenly started chasing a squirrel and ran right across the parade route, causing the veterans to laugh and the onlookers to cheer even louder. It became a really funny and memorable moment of that Veterans Day.
Well, for Fathers Day one year, we decided to take dad fishing. Dad was so excited and started showing off his 'expert' casting skills. But instead of the hook going into the water, it got caught in his hat. He just sat there with the fishing line attached to his hat looking completely bewildered. It was hilarious. And then when he finally got it out, he caught a tiny minnow and was so proud as if it was a huge trophy fish.
At a Memorial Day event at a park, there was a dog - show - like competition for the best - dressed veteran's pet. One dog, a big goofy Labrador, was dressed as a military general. But every time the owner tried to show it off, the dog would roll over and demand belly rubs. It made everyone at the event burst into laughter. This shows that even on a day of remembrance, there can be fun and joyous moments.
One funny story is about a small town's Independence Day parade. A dog got loose and started chasing the parade float that was shaped like a giant hot dog. It ran around it barking, thinking it was real. Everyone was laughing so hard that the parade had to briefly stop. It became the talk of the town for weeks after.
One funny Thanksgiving story is about a family who decided to deep - fry their turkey for the first time. They filled the fryer with oil, but they didn't defrost the turkey completely. When they lowered the frozen - ish turkey into the hot oil, it caused a huge splash and the oil overflowed all over the patio. Luckily no one was hurt, and they ended up ordering pizza for Thanksgiving that year.
