It's okay, I know exactly what you mean. I remember a creative writing class I was in where one dude wrote a story that involved hiding drugs in a candle, shoving it up a lady's lady parts, and then getting down in an airplane bathroom. It was awful. And there is nothing you can do to stop yourself from ruining his day. Nothing.

And there is nothing you can do to stop yourself from ruining his day. Nothing.

Uh, yeah there is. It's called being a decent human being and just letting it go.

The average human being laughs at things they find funny and it's not a strictly controllable response at times.

The average human being has a self awareness to realize when it's appropriate to let loose and when they should control themselves.

yeah but what about "could not stop giggling" reads as "I laughed in his face rudely and dismissively" to you

"could not" means like, it was so funny she couldnt help herself

1. control is something that can be improved upon, though it is sometimes hard

2. you can try to cover it up as a cough, do what you can to not make it so obvious

3. the bottom line for me in this discussion is: at least feel some remorse, it's like people here don't *care* how much they'd be hurting someone's feelings...

Um, laughter is not always something you can control sorry. I often laugh when I'm anxious (and I'm anxious a lot so I laugh a lot) and there are definitely times where I've laughed when I wished I wouldn't have.

I have too. one notable instance, when I was 10 or 11 years old, we had an announcement at our school that our art teacher's teenaged son had died in a car accident, and around that time a random funny thought popped into my head and I giggled. Didn't stop me from feeling really bad and wishing I'd handled it differently (even at the age of 11!). One of my classmates told me off and I'm glad he did. (I think it was a guy, iirc.) I was really unaware of how I was behaving that could be super offensive and I learned from that situation.

Fortunately, my art teacher was not in the room. And I genuinely felt awful for her. =/

So you've never, in your entire life, had trouble keeping a straight face, or swallowing the telltale lump that you know will soon lead to tears? You are always in completely 100% control of your emotions and your facial expressions? You never slip up or have difficulty keeping cool?

oh fucking please.

"Oh fucking please" indeed. The best that one can do sometimes is hide one's face or bite down on something -- and yes, that should be done when necessary. Involuntary responses to stimuli happen sometimes. A trained comedian or actor can control laughter fairly well, but most people can't.

Involuntary responses to stimuli happen sometimes. A trained comedian or actor can control laughter fairly well, but most people can't.

oh yea, that's why creative writing teachers regularly burst into laughter or scoff openly when they hear the 90% of total laughable crap that makes up the assignments in their classes. And why therapists have to bite their lips or hide their faces in their pillows when they hear people's ridiculous problems.

Oh, wait, no they don't, because they've figured out how vulnerable humans are when they're sharing something deeply personal face-to-face for the express purpose of critique, and so have managed to put themselves into a correspondingly respectful mindset NO MATTER HOW STUPID THE SHIT IS THAT THEY HEAR.

It is a difficult technique, known in some circles "being a fucking adult."

You weren't there. You weren't looking him in the eye. You don't know.

I couldn't help giggling at your intensity.

But seriously, we've all been there. Even if some here would like to forget.

Holy shit, were we in the same creative writing class? Because I distinctly remember reading a story about a guy smuggling drugs and getting down in an airplane bathroom. Except I think in mine the guy had the drugs up his ass and it...exploded from the atmosphere and he died of an overdose while banging the lady, or...some...thing.

Okay, maybe not the same class, but THERE WERE TWO STORIES LIKE THIS?

There were three, but I had to burn the draft after I realized people would think I was ripping the other guys off.

Heh. I wonder if the other guys were "inspired" by a novel or something...

LMAO right now. There's always somebody writing a story about drug smuggling in a writing class, but WTF.

I kind of wish we'd had that story instead...

No you don't. Most of the story was the guy telling the girl sitting next to him his life story. It was a gigantic tome of a "short story" that was basically all summary and hardly any actual scenes. It was super dull until that bizarre ending.

that involved hiding drugs in a candle, shoving it up a lady's lady parts

...I'm trying to wonder how this all goes down, especially the drug-holding candle that can ALSO fit inside a woman...so basically the whole thing.

I think part of it involved pulling out the candle, smoking in the airplane toilet while flushing a lot, joining the mile high club, and then putting the candle remnants back in? It's been about a decade. XD

That actually sounds like a story o bad it might be an entertaining read!

Funniest story from my creative writing class: some dude was running from the police but a gypsy cursed one leg so it kept growing so he had to chop it off and keep running but then it grew back even faster so he had to keep chopping it as he ran.

that might have been me lol
