Well, I love a bit of 'You've been framed' myself, especially people running into closed patio doors,

I don't find little kids hurting themselves or Dads doing stupid things at all funny, but I love the ones where people seem to be able to completely immerse themselves in even the smallest amount of water.

Christ Alive, you have to wonder about people don't you? My dad once drove into a car park with a height restriction (forgetting he had bikes on the roof rack). As dad tried to sort the bikes out and survey the damage to his car, some pathetic oik just started pointing and laughing at him.

I would have found that very funny too, but I wouldn't have pointed and laughed at him, just chuckled to myself. Maybe that makes the offender more honest than me.

It's fine to take pleasure in others misfortune, but not to actively cause the misfortune. And you have to be prepared to laugh at your own misfortune too.

I really enjoy seeing someone return to their car to find a parking ticket on it. Just love watching the horror and anger on their faces. Just my own little quirk. But I've had a few tickets myself and knowing someone may be watching me, I always laugh at my own stupidity.

You sound like a lovely person.

He's right though. You can laugh and sympathise at the same time.
If I did that myself I would also laugh at myself and relish telling the story to amuse other people.
Just depends on the spirit of the laughter.

Several years ago very hot summer day in Coleford popped into a sandwich shop and ordered a ham and mustard sarnie and I wanted a drink too. As it had been so hot they'd a run on cold drinks and the only one left was one of those mini Panda pops in raspberry flavour. I asked the girl to pass it to me whilst the sandwich was being made as i was parched.

I twisted open the top and it went off like Vesuvius all over the front of my white shirt leaving perhaps a square foot of pink stain. I looked the girl in the eye and noticed her lips purse in an active attempt to stifle the laughter that wanted to burst forth - so i told her to laugh as I would have in the same situation - so she did! No harm done except to my ego and shirt which I don't think was ever the same.

It was a bit embarrassing going to my next appointments with a large pink stain on my shirt. My clients had a little snigger too.

Nothing wrong with laughing at others misfortune as long as no-one is hurt.

I did exactly the same. Well, I was the passenger and it was a canoe not a bike. We drove into a multi storey in Bristol forgetting that we had a canoe on the top of my mates dad's car. Knocked the height restriction bar off as we were going too quickly. We thought we'd got away with it until it was time to leave... There was another restriction right next to the pay booth. We hit that too but not as hard. We had to get out, untie the thing and carry it out. All the while people were honking and laughing at the two fkwits. I'd have laughed too if I wasn't so embarrassed by the whole thing.

Thing was the person laughing was a complete mouth breathing knuckle dragging oik. The kind who would not think twice about nicking your tv should you window be open. Certainly no sympathy from him. What made it worse was when dad was trying to fix the bikes he broke his glasses.

Triumph Man, stop it, you're making it worse.

You lot are such bds, even I'm laughing about it now.

haha don't worry, it was dad's old 416i. Incidentally, if my car check returns the correct result, but the DVLA website doesn't show anything, presumably the car has been scrapped?

I just typed 'Rover 416i that hasn't been scrapped' into Google. The only one I found was on a site called 'Premiumsteforsale', I kid you not.

It was probably the only Rover with a K series in the world that did not have HGF though! (Well in the time we had it, which was for 3 years as dad's company car, guessing that's what killed it off!)

Well you're not a very nice person then.

The famous chandelier scene in Only Fools & Horses was a true story. It actually happened to John Sullivan's dad's workmate when John Sullivan (the writer) was a boy. His dad came home and told the story and young Sullivan cracked up. He dad was furious at him, and said it wasn't funny, the guy had lost his job.

It wasn't until years later when John Sullivan put it in Only Fools & Horses that his dad finally admitted that there may have been a slightly amusing element to the event.

I know, I'm an arse really I think even my dad might find it funny now! At the time it was the ruin of our holiday though...
