One story I heard was about a garage sale where a man was selling a pair of shoes that he claimed were 'lucky'. He said every time he wore them, something strange but good happened. He told a story about how once he wore them to a job interview and the interviewer was wearing the exact same shoes. They ended up talking about shoes the whole time and he got the job. It was such a random and funny story.
At a garage sale, a family was selling a really old bike. The father said that the bike had a mind of its own. He told a story about how his son tried to ride it downhill and the brakes didn't work. Instead of crashing, the bike somehow steered itself into a bush and his son emerged unharmed but covered in leaves. It was a very comical story about the so - called 'haunted' bike.
A friend of mine bought an old radio at a garage sale. When he turned it on at night, it started broadcasting some really strange and disturbing voices that didn't seem to be from any normal station. He unplugged it and never touched it again.
At one yard sale, I saw a set of really old bowling balls. The owner told me that his family had a bowling alley in their basement for years. One time, they had a family bowling tournament and his aunt accidentally threw the ball the wrong way and it went through a window. They all still laugh about it to this day. He was selling the bowling balls because he was moving to a smaller place.
One really funny one is about a man who believed that his car radio was sending his thoughts to the government. So he would only listen to static. He was so paranoid that he even covered the radio with aluminum foil. After a while, he realized that he had just been watching too many conspiracy theory shows on TV.
One funny story is about a guy interrailing in Scandinavia. He thought he booked a sleeper compartment but actually booked a storage area. He didn't realize until he tried to lie down and there were boxes everywhere. He ended up having to share a normal seat with a really friendly family for the whole night. They shared stories and he had a great time despite the initial mix - up.
I heard a story about a person who accidentally locked themselves out of their apartment while taking out the trash, and they were only wearing their pajamas. They had to call the landlord at 3 in the morning, looking quite silly.
A lady once got on the subway with a huge hat. It was so big that it kept hitting people as she walked down the aisle. She was so oblivious to it and when someone finally told her, she just took it off and put it on her lap and started laughing. It was such a simple yet funny moment.
A funny ape story I heard was about an orangutan. It managed to steal a camera from a wildlife photographer. Instead of being scared, it started taking pictures of itself and the surrounding jungle. The resulting photos were really strange and funny, with the orangutan's big nose and curious eyes filling the frame.
I heard of a roadie who was supposed to set up the microphones. But he got distracted by a food truck outside. When he came back, he set up the mics all wrong, and during the performance, the singer's voice was coming out of the backstage speakers. It was chaos but really funny.
At a glassware manufacturing factory, they were making wine glasses. The molds got a bit distorted one day. As a result, the wine glasses that came out were all wonky - shaped. Some were taller on one side, and some had a twisted stem. It was a hilarious sight, and the factory had to discard a large number of defective products until they fixed the molds.
A co - worker of mine once showed up to work on a Saturday thinking it was Friday. He was all dressed up in his formal work clothes and was very confused when he saw the empty office. He then realized his mistake and just had to laugh at himself.
