Something funny

[tmcase]

I'd like to start a new thread if that's ok. Since I'm new here I'm not sure if it's ok but I'm going to do it anyway. What's the worst that can happen?

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you that made you jump out of your skin? It might not have been funny to you at the time but would be funny to others that hear about it. I guess I'll start.

I live in an apt building with a huge shrub outside my bedroom window that needs to be trimmed every year. My bed is right next to the window. Well, our lawn boys get here around 8am every morning to do yard work and I stay up late so I sleep late. So they decided last week to trim my shrub, with a freakin chainsaw. When they started that puppy up at 8am I nearly hit the ceiling and I wasn't smiling. Others that I've told about this thought it was funny while shaking their heads in disbelief.

Anybody else have a funny, scary story?

hmmm...the worst that could happen....the thread could be deleted....you could be banned !

A chainsaw as an alarm clock would send me through the roof ! Yikes !

Mine....still living at home in high school. Getting up in the middle of the night...making my way to the kitchen in the dark to get a drink. Reaching around ahead of myself to turn on the light.....

and putting my hand on another hand !

My Dad must have been 3 steps ahead of me....and he was reaching behind himself to turn on the light !

Scared half the life out of both of us !

We still laugh about it !

I thought about those worst scenarios but you're too nice to do that.

Thank you for your story. It gave me my "big laugh for the day". That would have scared the crap out of me too.

Years ago I was sunbathing in a bikini in my parents' back yard, lying on my stomach with my top off so that I wouldn't get a tan line. I wore contacts but didn't have them in at the time. A really, really huge insect (like 3 inches long) started to buzz around my head. I jumped up, screaming, and ran to the patio by the back door. Turns out it was a hummingbird but I couldn't tell because I couldn't really see it. The bad part was that the neighbors were in their back yard too, witnessing me screaming and running with no top on..........

oh my- these are funny stories.

When i lived in Miami, we used to leave a sliding glass door open so the dog could go in and out. One day I went to the closet to get the huge pile of laundry to (finally) do the wash. I opened the closet door and saw a pair of glowing eyes staring up at me out of the pile of clothes in the dark closet. Turns out a possum had snuck in and hidden in the closet. Scared the beejesus out of me.

One Sunday morning before hubby and I had kids I decided to make a nice breakfast. The curtains in the kitchen where open and I was covered with just a robe. I thought I'd be OK from the neighbors seeing me since at least I had a robe on. Well, while cooking the sleeve of the robe caught fire. As I tried to calmly turn to the sink to put out the sleeve, it caused the fire to move to the back of the robe. Hubby came running in and ripped the robe off of me so he could stomp out the fire. All my neighbors saw was 2 newlyweds in the kitchen and hubby ripping a robe off of me.

Oh, I really love that one. Since you were newlyweds, I'm sure they knew what was going on.

OK yes we had been newlyweds at the time, but that was why I was cooking breakfast. LOL.

Mike and I had a contractor put a new roof on our home in St. Cloud about 7 years ago. One day the noise got to be too much for me so I went to the store. When I got home I didn't see the guys..so I went in the house and put the groceries down..I heard a noise from my family room and went in. I almost had a coniption right there..a pair of legs were hanging from the ceiling wiggling around and muffled talk was coming rom my attic/crawlspace. It seems they hit a rotton place and the guy fell thru both the roof and celing but couldn't get back up or down.

When I was living in North Conway, NH, we had quite a few bears roaming around in the spring. I didn't think they had come out yet, we still had snow, and I heard some loud bang on the porch. Not thinking I went and opened the door... and screamed and slammed it shut, waking up the kids cuz the bear was AT my door, banging the outdoor "bear proof" trashcan against it! Scared the crap outta the bear too though as he ran like a bat outta hell down the road (saw him out the bedroom window).

I am enjoying reading these......roflmao!!!!

I have one that actually happened to my dad. We were living in a trailer at the time, I opened a drawer in my dresser one day and saw a tail go up to the next drawer. We were having problems with mice. I yelled to my dad that there was a mouse in my dresser. He came in with a grocery bag and a broom was going to get the mouse to run into the bag....yeah uh huh that was gonna work...LOL. Turns out it wasn't a mouse it was a little garden snake that had gotten in from a hole around a drain pipe that he forgot to close up the day before when he was replacing it. My room was right next to the bathroom. I think that snake was just looking for a cool place. So my dad leaves the room as fast as he could and yelling at my mom that there was a huge snake in the house. he goes to get a board to kill it with, the board was a 4x6.....LOL. My mom came in with kitchen gloves on opened the drawer real quick and grabbed the snake. Just as she was walking out the door he was walking in.....he went running down the hall as fast as he could. the poor guy was seriously afraid of snakes!!! My mom and I were laughing so hard we had tears streaming down our face. The snake was about 6 inches long.

Mike,the kids and I were walking in the Moutains in Wyo. My daughter screamed and jumped up in the air because she thought she stepped on a snake that was really a stick..she scared me so bad I also jumped (back in the day when I could jump)...yep, you guessed it! I came down on a SNAKE...the screams and jumping started all over again. Snakes may not have hearing..but they know when to slither far, far away!
