  • Things that have made you laugh.

    Some of my old work colleges from when I was a Bus Driver have just been for a coffee this afternoon, we got talking about silly things that happened while we all worked together. Mine was a lady who was running for the bus when it had been snowing, I pulled up for her, she had her hands full of shopping when she slipped, straight under the front of the bus, I jumped of the bus to see if she was OK, all I could see was her head and arms still with shopping in them sticking out, I asked if she was OK, she said she was, to this we both started to laugh uncontrollably, I helped her up and on to the bus, I didn't have the heart to charge her for the ride. She ended up comeing out with us on a weekend, and has done now for the last 8 years, we still laugh about it.

      My dad used to be a conductor, then a bus driver a lot of years ago, he's full of daft stories. My favourite is when they got a new manager who allocated the busus every morning, and decided to allocate a double-decker to one particular route. The driver objected, saying that he was supposed to have a single-decker. The new manager was very arrogant and wouldn't llisten to any protests, according to him there was enough passengers to warrant the double-decker. So the driver threw up his hands and said fine, I'll take the double-decker! A couple of hours later, the new manager had a call from the police, saying that one of the company's buses was stuck under a low bridge...

        Not much to make me laugh just lately, but have a friend staying with me for a bit, plus her dog - no need to go into details. However, Molly (the dog) has managed to cheer both of us up, bless her. She's a complete nutter, attention span of a gnat, but no malice whatsoever, and if she decides she wants to cuddle you then she tends to get her way as she's so big. AND THE TONGUE!!!! She licks people she likes, and she seems to like me a lot.

          Years back I was in MacDonalds and sitting near by were a young couple, obviously in love and still trying to impress each other

          She had a chocolate milkshake with her food.

          I know this because when she drank some at one point, the straw flicked chocolate milkshake in her eye and on the side of her face.

          You know how, when you're not supoosed to laugh you have the urge to laugh even more? I ended up nearly choking on my food for trying not to laugh

              Another bus story (I've told it before) ... when it's cold I wear tights under my trousers. Sometimes I wear the same trousers two days running.
              One day I ran for my bus, got on and as I was walking up the bus I felt something tugging at one ankle... I looked down and it was yesterday's tights hanging out the bottom of one trouser leg.

              ... and a milk story ... I once burst one of those little UHT milks in my face in a meeting at work. I had milk in my eyes and mascara all down my face, and couldn't see a thing, and blink as hard as I could I couldn't clear my eyes.... the whole table fell about.

                and finally, a laugh we had while camping last weekend....(I'll set the scene. Mr Sheds isn't a happy camper, and he never remembers how to set up the tent, but he insists on "helping". So, I gave him the tent pegs to put in)

                He's stamping the tent pegs in the ground, so I (battling under the billowing tent to untangle guy ropes in the wind) shout "forty five degrees please". He faffs a bit more, getting crosser as the tent is flapping all over the place. I look again, and he's still stamping them all in at 90 degrees to the ground.

                "45 degrees!" I yell at him.

                "I have!" he yells back at me. I pull out a peg and say "that isn't 45 degrees!"

                "oh" he says.
                "I thought you meant the tent should be at 45 degrees, so I just turned it round"

                So that's why I was struggling to get the ground sheet matched up to the flysheet

                    Me - the other day.
                    Often nip to Sainsburys during my lunch break.
                    Parked in bay and thought if I pull forward into next bay I would not have to reverse out.
                    was about to switch off the engine when saw next bay ahead was empty so moved car up a row (closer to store exit) then again though ah ha if I pull forward I will not have to reverse out- felt quite smug at my cunning moves to get close to shop doors, switched engine off - great I came for petrol!!

                      When I was a lifeguard, back in the days when people were paid in cash, a colleague's wages went missing from the desk where they were all laid out waiting for collection. A huge search was started and I was left on the poolside on my own while the place was turned over. That was the one time someone almost drowned; a new swimmer decided he was going to try to do a length, but started shallow end to deep, realized he couldn't make it and was already out of his depth. I jumped in and got him out without too much trouble, but there I was dripping wet and had to call for someone to take over. Meanwhile someone had had the obvious idea that the wage packet might have been picked up in error and began to check through to see if someone had signed for their wages, but that their own were still there. Yes it had happened... I'd done it. I don't know if the worst part was the embarrassment of actually being the unwitting 'culprit' or the moment when I reached into my pocket and pulled out the other person's sodden brown wages envelope full of soggy tenners.
                      Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

                        My stepfather washed his wages once ... you've never seen such a panicked man pulling at the washing machine door ... mid-cycle: it weren't having it

                          I once got a free box of Luxury Belgian chocolates as a gift from Sainsbury's. My wife and I sat in the car park eating them. It was a hot day and the windows and sunroof were open. There we were (choco-holics both) going 'Mmmmmm' 'Cor' 'Ooooh' 'Hey, try this' quite loudly. Suddenly realise several people were outside the car, listening to what must have sounded quite orgy like. Blush?
