People you laugh at...

[Tyler]

I laugh at people who wear popped-collars.

No wait, I dont laugh. I want to strangle them with errant piano strings.

[Cowperson]

I do laugh at the stories of the stupid things people can do that eventually lead to their maiming, dismemberment or even deaths .

They die. I laugh.

From the Darwin Awards site is one example,

I read in the local paper the true story of five 20 odd year old friends who after a night on the turps decided it would be fun to go to a waterpark after hours and use the slides without the hassles of any lines. One of the crew was a former employee of the water park and knew how to turn on the right taps so the water was flowing down the slides. After about 15 fun minutes of going down the comparatively slow tubes the guys decided they needed to up the ante, so they decided to go down the speed slide. For those of you unfamiliar the speed slide is a very steep slide about 100 metres long with a pool at the bottom to slow you down at the end. As you can reach speeds of upto 50-60kms hr it is a very necessary precaution.

Unfortunately the drunk fools hadnt counted on the fact that the slowdown pool takes up to an hour to fill and was currently less than a quarter full, having only been on for 15mins or so. The first guy went down and upon hitting the pool at the bottom skimmed over the top of the water and crashed into the concrete wall at the end of the pool going approx 40 kms hr!. He shattered his legs and pelvis and had severe internal injuries rendering him unconscious, thus denying him the chance to warn his mates of their stupidity. The second mate went flying down after him oblivious to the danger and quickly found himself in the same predicament, and worsening the firsts injuries. According to the paper article it took three of them to learn the hard way before the guys at the top realised something was amiss,and their mates werent answering them. They went down the stairs to discover their mates lying in an unconscious tangle in the slowdown pool!.Being drunk and stupid and aware they had broken the law they carried their badly injured mates away and put them in the back of the ute to drive to hospital. They made up some story of a car crash but their wet clothes etc had the doctors suspicious. The next day a water park attendant discovered the pool half full and stained with blood in the pool and the edges where they had been dragged. The police quickly did a check of the local hospital, only 5 min drive away and found the unfortunate fools. All three had multiple fractures and internal injuries and were slapped with a hefty fine also for their troubles!!. The police said it was lucky they didnt die and i agree because surely they would have been immortalised forever with a Darwin award!

How can you not laugh at their misery?

You really shouldn't wear bike shorts when not on your bike. Even on your bike is questionable. Can't you wear some baggy shorts over top? If you are just walking around campus with your bike shorts on that is just nasty. Nobody needs to see your meat and 2 veg, or the contours of your rear end. You must be incredibly confident to wear those things around, so props for that, but just remember, nobody wants to see that.

It depends on how far I am going on the trip. Lets say I am going for around a 80-100 km trip, I will definantly wear the bike shorts as they are so damn comfortable to wear suprisingly enough. Plus they really do cut down on wind resistance. If I am just going for a nice ride in the city I will throw some shorts on overtop.

But agreed no one wants to see it, but for logistical purposes it is sometimes necessary.

Guys with combovers.

Guys that try to come on to girls by doing catcalls.

[Patek23]

What about those people who get hopped up and try to act cool, daring any one to "take them on". Then when you beat the shinguard out of them they give you a look like "WTF was that for?"



That makes me laugh too.

[Calgary Flames]

I laugh at drunk kids (16-17 year olds who can't hold their liquor) who always argue with each other behind the Mac's across the street every friday night... It's fataing 3am, fist fight or don't already just shut the fata up!!! I'm trying to sleep here!

[Trujew]

I laugh at midgets and the handicapped

[Abstract]

Hey i wear pink shirts! Nuttin wrong with it.

I laugh at people wearing shades inside, their hats at "gangsta" angles and wear chains outside their tops.

[Flashpoint]

I laugh at girls who wear high heels to U of C in the middle of winter and then bail on the icy sidewalks.


Which is probably why I am single.

[monkeyman]

I can’t help but think there’s a guy wearing cords, a vest and an ugly fisherman’s hat telling his friends about this dufus he saw wearing bicycle shorts checking him out while he was dancing.
That’s what makes me laugh!

Thats the best one so far

I laugh...
- at overly sensitive people who get mad at you for laughing at them.
- at the skinny guy at the gym who constantly checks himself out in the mirror

Someone told me that it was a class project he was doing. Some sort of experiment to see how many people will actually understand his signs which all actually have some reference to another event or a movie or something like that.

And I also wear pink shirts because girls like em.
I laugh at guys who try soo hard to live up to the stereotypical macho male thing and take shots at other guys for doing things like wearing pink shirts.

[habernac]

I laugh at the people who care what I look like in bike shorts. They're comfortable, I'll keep wearing them when I'm riding. Who gives a fata what others think about it? Maybe they're just jealous because my ass looks better than theirs.

Yeah I don't get why some guys are so anti-pink. I think a soft pink shirt on a guy is kinda hot. But pink on a guy can go wrong if it's like a neon pink. Not a good look.... not really a good look for anyone really but in particular guys.

And as for the topic, I laugh at people that run for the bus when they are late and it's passing them by. It's horrible, but there is some part of me that just really wants them to not make it... or fall down or something. I'm sick.
