There was a debtor who pretended to be a pirate on the phone when the debt collector called. He talked in a pirate accent and said that his 'booty' was hidden and he couldn't get to it until he found his treasure map. The debt collector was so entertained that they turned it into a bit of a game and said if he paid half the debt, they'd help him find the map. And the debtor actually agreed.
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.
One interesting story was about a man who thought he could do yoga poses better than anyone in the park. But when he tried to do a headstand, he ended up falling flat on his back. It was really funny as his face was full of shock.
I heard a story where a player was playing as Japan. They were so focused on building up their navy that they completely ignored their land forces. When they finally decided to invade a nearby Asian country, their navy dropped off the land troops at the wrong beach. The troops were stranded and had to walk for days through difficult terrain to reach the nearest friendly territory. It was a total mess but also really funny.
