In a meeting, the projector showed the wrong presentation which was actually a vacation slideshow of one of the employees. Instead of quickly changing it, everyone ended up looking at the beautiful beaches and having a side conversation about their dream vacations. This turned the whole meeting into an absurd event.
One time, a guy walked into the wrong meeting room and started giving his presentation. The people in the room were confused at first but then just let him go on for a while before realizing he wasn't supposed to be there. It was hilarious.
I know a story where during a very serious business meeting, a bird flew in through an open window and landed on the table. People were trying to shoo it away while also trying to continue the meeting. It was chaos and made the whole meeting seem really absurd. The bird finally flew out but not before leaving some feathers behind as a strange memento of the absurd meeting.
Sure. Once in a meeting, the presenter was so nervous that instead of presenting the sales figures, he started talking about his cat's favorite toys. Everyone was just looking at him in disbelief.
There was a safety meeting at a mine. A miner told how he got lost in a not - so - big mine section once. He was following the safety signs but somehow ended up in a storage room. He thought he had discovered a new part of the mine and started yelling for help. When they found him, everyone laughed. It was funny because it showed that even with safety signs, people can get confused.
In a big sales meeting, the projector malfunctioned and instead of showing the product slides, it showed a picture of a cute puppy. The presenter, instead of getting flustered, just said 'Well, this is our new secret weapon - cuteness! If our product was as cute as this puppy, we'd sell a million units!'. This unexpected turn of events made the meeting really funny and also showed how to adapt quickly in a situation.
A memorable one was when we had a science fair. One group made a volcano that erupted so realistically that it sprayed lava - like substance all over the place. It was chaos but also really cool.
One memorable family story is when my cousin got lost in a big shopping mall. Everyone was so worried. But then, he was found sitting in the toy section, happily playing with some action figures. He had no idea he was lost and was just having a great time. It was both scary and funny at the same time.
There's an exotic story from the island of Bali in Indonesia. The Balinese have a unique form of Hinduism that is blended with their local traditions. Their elaborate temple ceremonies with colorful offerings, traditional music and dance are a sight to behold. It's like stepping into a different world full of spiritual and cultural richness.
I remember a story from 2023 where a little kid at a park thought a statue was a real person and started having a full - blown conversation with it. The kid was asking questions like 'Why are you so quiet?' and waiting for an answer. It was really cute and funny.
A memorable tickle story is that of a grandfather who would tickle his grandchildren under their chins. The kids would anticipate it and start laughing even before he started. It was a sweet family moment.
There's a story of two people who met on a train journey. They were seated opposite each other. They started with small talk about the scenery outside. As the journey continued, they shared their life stories. By the end of the journey, they had fallen in love. It was really special because they had that long time to really get to know each other in an enclosed space.
There was a story of two people meeting at a pet adoption event. They both reached for the same puppy at the same time. Their hands touched, and they looked at each other and smiled. They ended up adopting the puppy together and fell in love while taking care of it. It was really sweet as their love grew along with their love for the little puppy.
