A few days ago I took to Twitter and asked people about a time they laughed so hard they cried.
Please tell me about a time you laughed so hard you cried (NOT FROM TV/MOVIES OR THE INTERNET. An irl situation) Thank you
I wanted people to share any story, even if they didn't think it would be funny to other people. When people make themselves laugh over the silly little things, it can be surprisingly hilarious.
even if it’s an inside joke and won’t be funny to anyone else - i still want to hear it. thank u
1. This one was a crowd favorite.
@GraceSpelman I worked at a butchers and another guy would pretend burgers didn't exist and make customers explain them to him
2. I wish this one was captured on video.
@GraceSpelman my dog would not stop trying to eat this one cookie that was on the floor and i yelled -he rolled on his back, peed in the air
3. "My sister and I were teaching a lifeguarding class and she tried to describe something as 'short' but at the last minute decided it was 'long' and ended up saying 'shlong' in front of the whole class. I peed a little and had to leave."

4. Clueless little kid stories will always be funny.
@GraceSpelman i used to coach 6 yr old soccer. One of the kids mid-game took down his pants and did a shit in the middle of the field
5. Definitely a "you had to be there" story, but it's funny just to imagine someone laughing at something so simple.
@GraceSpelman I once saw a very large pickle just on the ground at a rest stop. I couldn't stop laughing for 20 mins
6. "One time we were playing celebrity and the name my friend drew was Michael Jackson.
"He tried to have his partner guess Michael Jackson by doing, hands down, the worst moonwalk impression i've ever seen. We all lost it and I started crying and choking from laughter." —Demi A

13. "One time my sister and I were hanging in my room and she was leaning against my dresser in a very big Calvin Klein sweatshirt, and suddenly she was like, 'It’s like weirdly hot in here!’
"And then I remembered that I had a candle on my dresser, and I was like, "Haha, what if you're on fire?" And she laughed and turned around and her sweatshirt was literally on fire and we both screamed and she started flailing around and I was completely useless because I was laughing and crying. She somehow put the fire out. Then she just had a little fist-sized hole in the back of her sweatshirt, which we still have." —Arianna Rebolini, BuzzFeed staff
14. Moms fart too, you guys.
@GraceSpelman my mom farted so loud she actually shook the bed.

@GraceSpelman Also, one time my husband did an impression of JFK, but it was just him saying "chowda" with a Boston accent and I cried.
18. OK but this is genius.
@GraceSpelman husband & i were talking abt silly alternate names for things (i.e. umbrella=rain shield) he referred to teeth as 'food bones'

25. It's science.
@GraceSpelman my boyfriend farted SO loud while we were showering & tried to explain how my shower having no right angles amplified the fart
26. Mom to the rescue.
@GraceSpelman She doesn't really connect with animals but could tell that it was overheated, so she just... poured... a water bottle on it?
27. "One time my friend sneeze-farted on the beach and I was laughing so hard at her that I laugh-farted approximately four seconds later."

28. I don't care either! It's funny just knowing you laughed.
@GraceSpelman i literally don't even care that it's not funny to anyone else, i cried just typing that tweet out because it was so funny
29. Don't worry, the kitten is OK!
@GraceSpelman I was trying to take photos of my kitten while he slept curled up against me and I dropped my phone on him twice
See? Here's a picture of him just relaxing.
good morning, last night he fell asleep like this, so may your day be this relaxed and dgaf
30. It's funny to imagine someone stuck in a bathroom frantically screaming out numbers.
@GraceSpelman the door down, she started banging on the window shouting to strangers outside "IM STUCK IN MY BATHROOM" she did this for 4hrs
