40 Times People Had To Hold Their Laugh Because They Realized The Person Wasn’t Joking

On my 25th birthday, my new-ish boyfriend told me he was going to "surprise me" and do something special as a birthday dinner. He told me to get dressed up and wait for him around 7. I was super excited to wear a dress for once, got all dolled up and was eagerly waiting for him. When he showed up, he was wearing jeans and a T-shirt and just holding a grocery bag with store-bought sushi. I laughed, thinking this must be a pre-cursor to the actual 'big night out'. Nope, we just ate store-bought sushi in my living room. It was actually a pretty nice time but he shouldn't have hyped it up so much.

I saw a largely pregnant woman, and made a stupid comment about "bet you can't wait to get that out of you!" She said "eh, not really. The baby doesn't have a heartbeat and I'm just waiting to have the still birth.".

A man was regaling his fellow party-goers with his drunken jokes. He described being found as a newborn in a field, after his teenage mother hid her pregnancy and gave birth at home. All he knew about her was she was a Waffle House waitress. We sat there, enthralled, waiting for the punchline, until we realized he'd moved from "life of the party" onto the "in vino veritas" stage of drunkenness.

Met a guy, and I told him my name. He said "I'll probably not remember it; I have memory problems." I said "Haha yeah, I'm bad with names too." Met him again two days later, and I remembered his name. He, on the other hand, didn't remember meeting me. And when I realized it wasn't a joke, and was told by his mother that he actually does have memory problems, I felt like an idiot.


Oh well, he doesn't remember me laughing at him.

My boss tends to not really think before she speaks, so she says some pretty funny stuff, but about half the time, she's dead serious.

A few off the top of my head:

"My son has light hair because I dyed my hair while I was pregnant" (nevermind that her husband is blond)

"Don't leave open cans of soda in the fridge, that's how you get hepatitis".

These were both vehemently defended until google proved her wrong.

After finishing an otherwise flawless interview, we shook hands, and I said "Thank you sir"

She replied "Ma'am".

Realtor here. Buyers offered goats to sweeten their offer.

Worked at a pet food store. A women came in and asked where to put topical flea medicine on her kids, Frontline, I laughed way too hard. She complained to my manager, who also laughed.

I met a guy who's studying engineering with me and he mentioned to me he's part of the flat earth society.

I laughed at first but he didn't laugh with me, we ended up having an hour long debate, no matter what I said, he wouldn't believe me and I learned he believed in almost every conspiracy theory out there.

We're still friends but we don't mention politics or anything like that anymore, he's also a trump supporter despite the fact that we live in South Africa.

A new co-worker came up to me one day and said "What comes after 999?" She got offended when I laughed - turned out she had a learning disability and couldn't make the cognitive leap from 9 to 10. She also wore two watches so she could know what time it was where her boyfriend worked (we were in CST and her boyfriend worked in EST).

I went on a date with a dude in high school and he told me that he had astral projected himself into my dreams for the past few weeks.
Idk man.

I was at a Kobe Steakhouse (Teppanyaki, like Benihana's) and as always, it was the birthday for a girl across the table. She was there with her mom and probably a good friend. Anyway, once the table realized it was her birthday and we all wished her a good day, she asked me how old I thought she was. If I were putting money on it I would have said 13, but I figured she'd feel good if I said I thought she was a bit older, so I guessed 16. She got "mad" and said "No! I'm 20!!" I laughed. She didn't. Then I realized she was serious. Now every time my friends and I go to Kobe Steakhouse, we bring it up.

Wife asked if she could get some essential oils for our diffuser. I said sure, how much? She said "125$", and I laughed and was like "Nah for real". "Seriously", "125$". She cried and I laughed. Proceed to sleep on couch.

Flight Attendant here: got asked if we have diabetic wine. Did the haha part and he was serious.
Awkward.

Her: "I'm going to Oklahoma State because I didn't get into Texas Tech.
Me: "Hahahaha"
Her: "What?"
Me: "I liked your joke. Everyone gets into Texas Tech."
Her: "I didn't."
Me: *walks away*.

I was a waiter and guy said his wife wanted to take me home. I had never heard of anything like that before.

One time my science teacher was talking about solar powered remote control race car races and my friend asked me "Was the race held inside or outside?".

See one of the managers, realize they haven't been around in a few days.
"Hey, how was your vacation?"
- "Not great, I was at my dad's funeral."
*laugh*
*she's not laughing*
*oh*

My friend told me her cat died and I laughed at her because it was April Fool's day. It wasn't a joke though.

Female age 42 says she wants a tattoo. I ask her what she's getting.....a horse head with the words " I love horses ".
