32 Wild Situations That Are Extremely Funny in Retrospect

As the old cliche goes, “comedy is tragedy plus time.” If that tragedy involves someone getting smacked in the nuts? It doesn’t even need that much time. It often turns out to be true, though, sometimes with the original unpleasantness being undeniably funny enough that the victim can admit it’s chuckle-worthy as well. Sure, you might have a scar from that trampoline accident, but at least it doubles as a conversation starter.

Redditors have shared events from their own life that were anything but enjoyable in the past, but make for great stories in the present. It would be a disservice to the pain they endured not to enjoy the following tales of woe they were brave enough to post about.

mbell49 . 7y ago I had an unbelievably busy couple of weeks with work. Thinking of so many things I ended up accidentally closing my car keys in my trunk. Called and waited for CAA (roadside assistance). They got there, | realized my car wasn't even locked.
shallowblue . 7y ago Broke up with my girlfriend of the time and after a long and tearful goodbye I turned from her room and fell down a flight of stairs, actually hurting myself quite badly. Insisted | was okay and hobbled out the door and her life forever.
 . 7y ago Edited 7y ago Was walking down the hallway talking to my crush when suddenly I had to fart. For some stupid reason, my 10 year old self thought it would be a good idea to interrupt her, stand in front of her, say Shhhh, watch this and fart. Except it wasn't a fart. That's right. I interrupted my crush, got her attention, and then pooped my pants right in front of her, and then ran off in embarrassment and shame.
HomeDepotRun 7y ago Bought a vacant house that was filled with junk. Was cleaning out the basement and found a poor dead cat the previous owners must have left to die there alone. I didn't want to touch it so I called animal control. They came out right away. I showed the guy the cat under some debris. The guy picks it up with tongs and we all find out it is a stuffed animal!! Не started dying laughing. But at least my shame was only with 1 guy I would never see again. Right? To my complete disbelief, one
sfgayarea 7y ago I had an ex girlfriend call to tell me she had chlamydia. I was totally shocked. Called every single one of my ex partners because it seemed like the responsible thing to do. It was super embarrassing. I went to the doctor and took the pee test but, because I was the only person who could have given my ex chlamydia, the doctor gave me the antibiotics on the spot so I could start taking them. They made me totally nauseous, one of the worst experiences of my life. A week later, a friend tells me that
SuzQP 7y ago I stopped by the Dick's Sporting Goods shop where my son worked during his college years. Waiting around for him got boring, so I decided to try out one of the the treadmills on display. I had never been on a treadmill in my life, but really, how hard could it be? I hopped up on the one with the key in the... ignition?... whatever and turned it on. WHOOSH! I flew off the end of that thing like I was traveling backwards to Hell and knocked over a poor woman browsing the sweatpants. We disentangled ourselves
choppcy088 . 7y ago I was really nauseous one day and started running across the house to the bathroom to vomit. Well mid run I projectile vomited then proceeded to slip in the vomit, feet in the air and landed on my ass. I was so embarrassed I started crying in front of my family and siblings' friends. Everyone else was laughing and when I think about it now it was probably hilarious to see.
iu/l brandnamenerd 7y ago The timing of my mother's death. She was notorious for wiggling out of conversations when she was younger. She'd slip some no-meaning answer in to placate you but you'd never get to talk about whatever it was bothering you. We hadn't spoken or seen one another in years and I knew she was ill, my brother confirmed and I decided on being the bigger person to bury the hatchet, and got a ticket for a hurrah and hangout. Some jokes about a lot of missed conversation. We were due to fly out on Monday, she died
 . 7y ago I tried to dance with a girl at my senior prom, and accidently launched her into the floor.
Reddit_Bork 7y ago I was at a family farm working one day as a young teen. I had a friend with me, and we had just finished up what we were doing. Right at that time, the tractor was pulling a loaded wagon past. We had two options. Either catch the wagon for a lift or walk back most of a kilometer. We went for the wagon. We ran down a small hill, then jumped a rail fence. Or should I say, he jumped the fence. I almost cleared it. My pants caught on an extended knot and did not
 . 7y ago . Edited 7y ago I had testicular cancer 5 years ago and opted not to get a prosthetic. My ball sack now looks like a coin purse which is pretty funny.
gothiclg 7y ago Edited 7y ago | had a manager who was well known for being a bit of an airhead. She was a good manager but you had to remind her of things constantly and often had to explain things multiple times. She also had no known poker face. One day I came in and the number I needed to sign in to a cash register wasnt working so I went to her to see if she knew what was going on. She looked at me completely deadpan and said oh sorry I forgot we were firing you. She
 7y ago Edited 7y ago So I was running at full speed (I was about 10 or 11), and my cousin threw a basketball at me. Не threw it so perfectly, my legs caught it as they were closing while I was running. And I essentially just sailed through the air, still in my run pose as if I'm waiting for my legs to unfuck themselves. When I finally hit the ground, I slid on my knee. You can still see where I landed on it. | was FURIOUS then. But now, I can't help but laugh and be
SolidVirginal 7y ago Had a really chill professor in a relatively small class. It was a two-hour class, so I was sort of zoning out during a break and the professor was animatedly telling a story to us at the front. I overheard her say ... and that's when I step out, when I start getting horny. I instantly laugh and say aloud, wow, that's kinda off the cuff, huh? The professor and the other students in the class looked really confused, the prof asked me to clarify. When I said oh, you said you were horny? I got like
h00diehoe 7y ago When i was in 5th grade it was a thing that you had to have a crush and everyone in class needed to know. Everyone in class made sure to update it after a breakup or a holiday break. And there was one tiny problem i didn't think it was weird to also like girls so when a couple girls in class asked me who my crush was i was like ohh i like Sarah her eyes are blue thats my favorite color and the girls made sure to tell everyone in class including Sarah that i
marisachan 7y ago Edited 7y ago The third time I broke my left leg (which is, itself, a funny idea thinking back as it happened three summers in a row). I was jumping ramps on my bike with a friend. I didn't break from the jump though - I jumped quite successfully and landed safely. It was when I moved off to the side to allow my friend to go when the bike wheel caught in a groove in the ground and I fell. The frame of the bike smashed into my leg which, itself, smashed into the side of the cement driveway
catsbuyme 7y ago My family used to have a security camera pointed at one corner of our basement. The cats' litter-boxes happened to be there. When I was 16, I came down at the wrong moment to clean the boxes and found one cat having an atomic shit on the concrete floor. THE FLOOR. Just shooting out. It was like an explosive waterfall. My father came down because he heard me shouting and then immediately backed out gagging. I kept cursing and chased the cat into a litter box to finish up but the damage was done. It was recorded
 7y ago 16 years old. First kegger. I'm sitting on the island counter, facing the fridge, holding the tap and the stopwatch timing peoples chugs off the keg. Friend yells your turn!, I've been drinking all night and taking drinks in between peoples chugs, but I'm loving the attention and go with it. Friends pumping like mad is shaking the keg and creating pressurized foam that is being pumped into my stomach. 11 seconds in I projectile vomit all over the fridge, on the counters, cupboards floor etc. I cover my mouth and run to the hallway bathroom, it's
henrietta-the-spy 7y ago A friend just told me she once woke up strung- out on a park bench with a homeless old man sucking on her breast. When she freaked out and he pulled away, his false teeth were still chomped onto her bosom with a long strand of saliva connecting the dentures to his gummy mouth. That's the day she kicked heroin. She cracks up about it now. I'll never top that story.
 7y ago I had been working on a major project for months in another city. We made a near impossible deadline and it was all over. It was supposed to be a joyous moment. I gave an impassioned speech to the team and pumped my fist and somehow threw my back out. Bad. I was planning on walking out holding my head out high swelling with pride, going out with a bang. Instead it ended up with three of my employees wheeling my fat ass out the building in a rolling office chair and dumping me in an Uber.
SirJMike . 7y ago My computer password used to be anustart123 because of arrested development. Wasn't funny when the thing broke and I had to tell my dad the password
fart_shaped_box . 7y ago Edited 7y ago At one of my lowest points, after being unemployed for a super long time, and having a bad day on top of that, I accidentally knocked a box of macaroni off a shelf in the pantry. I yelled at the spilled mess of macaroni on the floor as if doing so would cause it to march into the trash can. It took me a good 30 seconds or so to snap out of my rage and realize that would not happen.
krissym99 7y ago I have a bird phobia. Wild turkeys and Canada geese are the worst and they're all over the Boston area where I live. A year ago, I was walking home from a nearby bagel place and there was an adult turkey with 2 of her kids. The mom came at me with her beak open and chased me. I was screaming and freaking out. I had an umbrella with me and I started swinging it around to scare her off. Luckily it worked. OK, yeah, now it's pretty hilarious, but it was absolutely terrifying in the moment.
Stupot97 7y ago I took a shit in the urinal when I was in kindergarten. I had never seen a urinal or been in a public bathroom before, and so I thought it was okay to just poop in them like I did with the toilet I had at home. One of my classmates walked in, and I'll never forget the expression of sheer horror on his face as he asked what I was doing. As I was standing awkwardly above the urinal committing my heinous crime, I just sort of stammered and then ran out of the bathroom when
 . 7y ago The summer before high school I got hit by a car and everyone said it was an ice cream truck. I literally broke 8 bones and started high school in a wheel chair. Now I'll just say 'yeah I really wanted a choco taco'
JoeBarra 7y ago I got a ticket for having a chalked Id when | was 20. I was drunk as shit and IMMEDIATELY lost the ticket. It was a huge hassle at the time but it's funny now.
 . 7y ago Edited 7y ago Got my scrotum stuck between two magnets.... I was 14, now I'm 27. Edit: looking back on this it's hilarious but my 14 year old self was terrified. It's hard to decide who to turn to when you have two magnets stuck on your ball sack.
Prongity19 7y ago About a year ago I was spending the night at my boyfriend's house. Apparently after I fell asleep he tried to cuddle up to me. I don't remember this at all, but apparently I said to him, get off of me, fatass. At the time this pissed him off, of course. Не went to go sleep in his recliner. Not knowing that I said that, I thought he was mad at me for something else when I saw that he slept in the chair. I was appalled later when he told me what | said. Now we
DonMcCauley . 7y ago I lost on the first question of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
 . 7y ago Torsion of the testes. Of course my aunt was working in the ER that night.
AshburyJ . 7y ago I was at a friend's house party like 10 years ago when a brawl broke out and my friend got tased. At the time it pissed me off but he was a tall lanky guy and looking back the way he shook and collapsed was pretty hilarious. What made it more funny was that I went to take the taser from this guy and use it on him but my hand partially grabbed the front of it and I got tased too (it was completely dark).
mmolla 7y ago Me and my friends got robbed once and my friend handed over his wallet then remembered that his ID was in there and what a bitch it is to get a new one so he started arguing with the robber to let him take the ID out and they get into a full back and forth argument over it robber eventually opens his wallet and is trying to slide the ID out of the plastic sleeve thing and is having trouble. My friend snatched the wallet from him slides his ID out and hands back the wallet.
