I've heard of a student who was learning to drive a manual car. They stalled the car so many times in one journey that they ended up getting pushed by some friendly passers - by to the side of the road. It was really embarrassing for them but quite funny for onlookers. Another story is of a student who thought the parking brake was a foot pedal like in some racing cars and tried to use it while driving normally, which of course caused a sudden stop and a lot of confusion.
There was a student who was so excited during their first drive that they accidentally put the car in reverse instead of drive and backed into a trash can. And then there's the story of a student driver who was so worried about making a left turn that they stopped in the middle of the intersection for a full five minutes until the cars behind started honking like crazy. They were just frozen with fear.
One hilarious story is about a student driver who thought the horn was for greeting other drivers. So every time they passed a car, they would honk the horn and wave. Another is a student who tried to shift gears while driving an automatic car and couldn't understand why it wasn't working.
I heard about a drunk driver who mistook a mailbox for a toll booth. He stopped his car in front of it, rolled down his window and started throwing coins at it while shouting 'Here's my toll!'. His friend in the passenger seat was laughing so hard he could barely tell him he was being ridiculous.
There was a medical student doing a presentation. He got so flustered that he mixed up the names of two very different diseases, which led to some really confused looks from the professors and students alike. It was a classic case of nerves getting the better of him.
At a law school party, a group of students were playing a game where they had to recite a legal principle if they lost a turn. One student got so flustered that he mixed up two completely different laws and made up a really absurd 'new law' on the spot. Everyone burst out laughing, and it became a running joke among them for weeks.
Sure! One time a student driver was so nervous that he mistook the gas pedal for the brake and ended up driving onto the sidewalk. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Another student thought the windshield wipers were the turn signal and kept turning them on and off while trying to make a turn.
A methhead tried to wash his clothes in the dishwasher. He thought it was a great idea since it used water and soap. But all he got was a ruined dishwasher and clothes full of soap suds. He couldn't understand why it didn't work.
There was this one time when a young man got on the megabus with a huge backpack that was almost as big as him. He struggled to find a place to put it and ended up with it on his lap for half of the journey. Every time the bus jolted, he would be pushed forward by the backpack, which looked really comical.
Well, there was this one time when an inmate accidentally dyed his hair bright pink while trying to make some homemade ink. He thought he could write secret messages with the stuff he made, but instead, he ended up looking like a flamingo. It was really funny, and all the other inmates couldn't stop teasing him about it.
A really funny 911 call story is about a guy who called because he thought his microwave was trying to communicate with him. It made some beeping sounds that he misinterpreted. Also, there was a person who called 911 because they saw a 'ghost' in their attic. It was just an old sheet that had blown up there. It was quite comical when the operator had to explain that to them.
One hilarious story is that a photographer was in the woods trying to capture pictures of wildlife. He thought he saw a sasquatch and started taking pictures like crazy. When he developed the photos, it was just a big, hairy log that had a strange shape from a certain angle.
In another IMDB - related funny story, a group of extras were supposed to be running away from a monster in a horror film. But one of the extras tripped and caused a domino effect, with all the other extras falling down like a row of bowling pins. The director found it so hilarious that he changed the scene to make it look like it was part of the movie's humor.
