A coworker once faked a wrist injury. She claimed she hurt it typing too much. She got everyone to do her typing tasks for her. But then we noticed she was using that wrist perfectly fine when she thought we weren't paying attention. Turns out she just wanted a break from work.
There was this time when my brother faked a hurt hand. He wrapped it up in a bandage and told everyone he got it caught in a door. But later we found out he just didn't want to do the dishes. He kept it up for a while, acting all pitiful, until we caught him using that hand to secretly grab cookies.
At a tennis match, a player got really frustrated with his serves not going well. He threw his racket in anger but it bounced back off the court and hit him in the leg. He hopped around for a while, cursing his bad luck. It was a combination of his anger and the unexpected self - injury that made it so funny.
Well, I have one. There was a time when my cousin was so excited to blow out the candles on his birthday cake. He leaned forward too quickly and his face got a bit too close to the candles. As he blew, his hair caught on fire for a split second. Thankfully, it was quickly put out and all he got was a singed hair and a red face from embarrassment.
Well, I remember a striker who was in a great position to score. Just as he was about to shoot, a small dog ran onto the pitch and the striker got distracted. He ended up kicking the air and twisting his ankle in the process.
Sure. There was a player who was about to take a penalty kick. As he ran up, his shoe flew off and he slipped on the grass, missing the ball completely and falling flat on his face. It was hilarious yet embarrassing for him.
A funny fake Tumblr story I remember is that there was a so - called 'invisible friend' living in someone's attic. According to the story, this friend would move things around and play pranks on the family. They would find their keys in the fridge or their shoes on the ceiling fan. Another story was about a person who claimed their toaster was possessed and would only toast bread into the shape of famous landmarks. One more story was about a cloud that followed a particular person everywhere and would rain on them when they were sad.
There is a story about a man who found a magic button. Every time he pressed it, his shoes would turn into roller skates. One day, he was in a hurry to get to work and accidentally pressed the button while on the stairs. He ended up rolling all the way down, looking like a total mess but also making everyone around him laugh.
Once upon a time, there was a cat that could talk. It claimed to be a spy from the cat kingdom. It would tell its owner made - up stories about the secret plans of the mice in the neighborhood. For example, it said the mice were planning to build a huge cheese tower to reach the moon. The owner knew it was all fake but found it extremely funny.
They are often full of absurd elements. For example, like in a story where the moon is made of cheese and the astronauts go there to have a big picnic. It defies logic in a humorous way.
