i tend to laugh when i realize that if i laugh it will cause people to become annoyed.
my girlfriend tammy came over last night to spend the night with me, and i was going to drop her off to a job interview today (monday).
she was going to bring her mp3 player with her, and her cd's so i could upload the songs she wanted, and convert them and download them to her mp3 player.
she brought the cd's and the wires to connect her mp3 player to my computer, but she forgot her mp3 player.
she got excessively annoyed when she realized that she forgot her mp3 player, and she said "DAMN!! ! that ruins my f*cking day!! !".
she looked at me to share her angst, but i could not suppress a growing smirk because she is very absent minded and likes to blame the world for her failure to be thorough. she is rather lazy of mind and likes to lie down most of the time, and i could not share her disappointment at her failure to remember her mp3 player.
i did not laugh at this, but she was not pleased that i seemed reasonably upbeat about her "tragic circumstance".
she also brought her resume with her because she needed it for her job interview the next day, and she wanted me to read it.
she lists every little thing she ever did in it, and i ran out of interest quite soon after opening it, and she kept telling me to continue reading it to see how accomplished she was.
i started to pretend i was reading it and i said "wow" as i flicked the pages after spending one second on each page. she said "pretty good huh?" and i burst into laughter as i was not really reading them (she should have known that considering i was spending one second on each page), and i tried to say "yes! you have achieved much" ,but i could not get the words out because i was laughing so hard.
she frowned and got annoyed and asked me what i was laughing at, and i said "i just got a joke that i was told last week", and she asked what the joke was and i went into hysterical laughter because i could not think of one, and i knew i was going to get into serious trouble.
i said "blast i forgot it again", and she told me i was a "s**thead" and that was even funnier to me.
she went to bed in disgust and i eventually calmed down and apologized to her wen i got to bed.
the next morning, i had to drive a long way to a client site to be there at 10:00 am, and she decided to come with me as i would not stay there for long, and her appointment was at 12:00pm.
i went to the client site, and as i was driving her to her appointment at 11:40, she suddenly realized that she had left her resume at my place and she went beserk.
she said "oh my f*cking GOD!! ! i've left the resume at your place"
i tried to act reverend and concerned and i said "oh deary me", but it was such a failure to sound authentic, and more so, it was a failure to sound authentic when i was seriously required to act reverend, and i just started to expand with the urge to laugh, and she said "damn!! that ruins everything!! !! !" and then my sides burst and i stopped the car and got out and walked to the rear and had a laughing fit. i did not dare have the fit inside the car because tammy was ropeable and she would have hit me hard in the head. also i could not have held on to the steering wheel in that convulsive condition.
i laughed so hard i started coughing, and i was in distress with tears coming from my eyes, and i found it hard to breathe and i could not stop my laughter.
she eventually started to laugh too and that calmed me down because when someone else laughs at what i am laughing at, it no longer seems as funny to me.
