The Funniest Try Not to Laugh Challenges You'll Ever See
Laughing is one of the best therapies, and it can truly brighten up even the most mundane moments. Whether it's at work, in social gatherings, or even in the chaos of public places, there's always an opportunity to be amused. Here are some of the funniest Try Not to Laugh Challenges I've encountered.
90s Bonding Exercises - An Early Form of Humor
Back in the mid-90s, there were bonding exercises that were all the rage within corporate circles. One of these involved standing in a circle and taking turns sharing what you had eaten for breakfast and lunch, with a twist. You had to hold your tongue with your fingers. While it was supposed to be an engaging icebreaker, the additional rule of not laughing at anyone added an element of absurdity that made it even funnier.
I guarantee that this particular practice should have been outlawed, as it was neither productive nor professional. However, it's interesting to see how such practices evolved over time.
Real-Life Challenges at Work - From Socking It to You to Laugh-Out-Loud Moments
When you're at work, the stakes are a bit higher. Here are a few real-life challenges that I've faced:
1. The Sock Humiliation: I once had a co-worker who had a few days off sick. She told me her husband had run over her foot, causing it to hurt. Trying not to smiling became a real challenge. Another co-worker, upon hearing this, responded, "Oh, we hadn't noticed," and I had to go around the corner to compose myself.
2. Diet Fashion Fail: A very large employee announced she was on a diet. A colleague replied, "Oh, we hadn't noticed," which made me smirk, and I had to duck to avoid blushing.
3. The Battery Blunder: At a former workplace, a senior saleswoman who nobody liked claimed that the batteries were too strong, with a capacity of 2500 mAh. A senior engineer then roared, "Excuse me, but your general intelligence is questionable," and proceeded to take the sale for himself. The other sales staff cheered, and I went to get a cup of tea, still laughing.
A Parkside Fiasco - Black and Lacy Silks in Public
The funniest challenge, however, occurred in a public park. While walking with a group of friends, one girl's skirt fell down, revealing her black and lacy underwear. I tried to maintain a straight face, but the situation was too embarrassing. About a minute later, a nearby man offered to help her, and I nearly wet my trousers from laughing for the next five minutes.
These moments, although embarrassing, serve as reminders of the absurdity that permeates our work and social lives. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember that the best therapy is a good laugh!
