A funny tabletop story I know is when a group was playing a mystery - solving board game. One of the players was so convinced that a certain character was the culprit. So he spent the whole game accusing that character, only to find out at the end that it was his own character who was the real culprit all along. The look on his face was priceless.
There was this tabletop role - playing game where a player created a character who was supposed to be a smooth - talking rogue. But whenever he tried to charm an NPC (non - player character), he would stutter and say the wrong things. For example, instead of complimenting a lady, he accidentally insulted her. It led to some really comical and unexpected situations in the game.
A story I heard was about a bard who was trying to charm a dragon with his music. He started playing a very grand tune, but the dragon just looked at him, yawned, and then fell asleep. The bard was so offended that he kept playing louder and louder until the dragon woke up, got annoyed, and chased him out of its lair.
There was this group playing a detective - themed tabletop game. One of the players was so convinced that a certain character was the culprit that he started interrogating the game pieces. He was talking to the little cardboard characters as if they were real people, asking them things like 'Where were you on the night of the crime?' in a very serious tone. It was hilarious to watch his intense interrogation of inanimate objects.
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.
