57 Times People Laughed Without Context And Immediately Regretted It

I always have a nervous laugh for any situations to the point I tell ppl about this quirk as a precaution. A friend of mine I havent seen in a while, was recently diagnosed with cancer and was prepping for chemo. I had no idea that she was diagnosed since I was out traveling when she decided to tell ppl about her illness.
She drasticly cut her hair so when I saw her again I complimented her on the bold fashion change when she realized I had no idea was going on and told me.
My friend is a joker so I thought she was joking and laughed it off, she kept insisting she was serious and I told her "Having Cancer is not funny, please tell me its a lie."

Good thing she was a good sport about it, I was laughing then nervously chuckling as she was telling me her situation. Had to tell her sorry if I laughed, my stupid personality has no idea how to handle sad news. She just told me to give her a good hug.

'Your sister is 10 weeks pregnant'.

When I was in high school, I worked at a video store. One night when I wasn't on-shift, I went in to rent a movie. As soon as I entered, the manager dragged me outside and demanded to know if I'd left a bottle of p**s in the office. He was the kind of guy who'd say/do thing to s***w with people, so I started laughing. Fortunately, he didn't take that as a sign of guilt, and pointed out that if he'd been screwing around, he would have asked in front of everyone. I quickly stopped laughing. Turned out it was another employee's way of giving notice.

Dad Bods

I thought it was a parody of the 'real women have curves' movement. Then when I found out women *really* are all about the dad bod, I cried over all the hours I wasted in the gym trying to look good.

"You are fired".

I was shadowing at a high school and one of my stops was a Latin class. The teacher introduced himself but I couldn't understand him so I laughed and said I couldn't speak Latin. He actually just had a surprisingly thick British accent.

Somewhat relevant. I went to the Iowa State fair last year with a girl I had met on tinder. We ran into a friend of hers and she introduced us.

She was carrying a bucket of tiny chocolate chip cookies, and a little bit of chocolate had smeared on her chin. When I pointed it out to her and told her, she turned bright red and said, "it's just a mole.".

In my master's degree course some 14 years ago, I first heard the term Aspberger's and busted out laughing thinking someone was kidding and saying a*s burger as a joke. True story.

Not me, but a friend once laughed at my other friend's mother telling us their dog died.

"Is Maths related to Science?".

*"My brother got his face blown off by a s*****n,"* she said.

For some reason, my brain immediately short-circuited and I thought of a *Bugs Bunny* cartoon...Daffy Duck getting shot in the face, his duck-bill landing some few feet away...

I laughed. The girl looked at me in horror. I tried to explain. I failed.

The other day I read about a guy who plays games on steam with his mouth and he is paralyzed from the neck down. Little did I know, it was not a troll and he actually is paralyzed. Felt really bad after that.

I really wish I was earlier to this as my comment is gonna be buried, but one time I was complaining about some tough test or something to my roommate, and he said, "Oh, that s***s, but my insurance doesn't cover I care" and I burst out laughing thinking he had just invented a line on par with or better than "would you like some cheese with that whine?" and he stared at me blankly and said "Why do you find the fact that I can't get new glasses so funny?".

A girl writhing around on the ground at a festival. I thought it was performance art. She was actually having a really bad trip and paramedics were rushing over. The looks from her friends as I lamely tried to explain myself will haunt my dreams.

A guy said that anyone who takes any kind of d**g should be k****d by the government. I laughed and he said "no seriously, it would solve the problem".

While watching Snow White and the huntsman in the theater There is a scene where a magical deer or unicorn or something like that shows up and stands there all majestic like, then gets shot with an arrow and keels over.

I burst out laughing and my sisters looked at me in disgust.

A disabled guy at my university walked like he was a slapstick comedian doing a bit on funny walks.

I didn't know him or have any classes with him. (It's a very large university.) I'd see him every few weeks, walking outdoors, and -- again and again -- I'd think it was somebody *trying* to make people laugh, and so I would.

After a year or so I finally remembered that he existed and that that his walk was not meant to be hilarious.
