Do ordinary things ever amaze, humor or baffle you?

Yeah I find humour in many aspects of everyday life.

 

[Sipe]

Hmmm... Not usually. I do find some things kinda funny.

For example; I can`t understand people who are "proud" of being a citizen of some nation. Lets say American Europeans. (The reason I call Americans by that name is that they simply are Europeans who live i America. Indians/Native Americans are the real Americans.) I have seen many times an American European folk saying "I`m proud to be American!" and I was like "What the..?". How can someone be proud of something they have`t achieved by themselves? The person just HAPPENED to born as an European American. He did`t do anything for it. So what`s the point in being proud of it? It`s like being proud of about winning in a lottery. I find that logic funny.

And I find religious fanatics entertaining as well. They poor arguments and naive thinking is funny. And when they argue about something, they usually argue about something they know nothing about that makes them look funny but stupid at the same time.

But I don`t usually find myself feeling humoured by something "ordinary". I can`t make any examples now... But if I find one, I let you know.

Same here. I've noticed everything that's from britain has to be "GREAT British", I'm like what the hell?

I`m happy to see that I`m not the only one who has noticed that.

Eh? It's called Great British because it comes from Great Britain. Unless you include Northern Ireland then you would just call it British.


But yeah, I sort of get your point.

I don't find simple humour funny but it's pretty funny how I actually make people laugh without even realizing that I do. :lol:

 

[Emor]

Yeah. I wish I didn't though, it's embarrassing when I'm in public and I start laughing uncontrollably because of a leaflet or w.e :S.

Perhaps I'm too emotional to have AS. I am very emotional sometimes that's for sure, when I was younger I could not watch the news and stuff because they would upset me too much. And films still make me cry uncontrollably in cinemas, it can be really embarrassing, getting out of the theatre when you have watched Wall-E to have your eyes all red and full of tears when you are a grown up

I have heard that Autism causes a disassociation with emotions, not the absence of them. Basically, our emotions are messed up. I can't play Sims or watch anyone play it because it upsets me. It has done since I watched my sister's Sims family burn in a fire when I was about 11.

Back to the main subject, I'm always randomly laughing or interested in insignificant things. I was sitting at my mates house and I started laughing. I had just imagined Johnny Bravo in a tiny Barbie car! Also, once I start laughing, I find it very hard to stop. People either find this funny or very annoying.

I'll be just sitting back at work or whatever and I will remember something funny and start laughing or grinning. People have remarked how strange that is.

I get choked up during the most corny sitcoms or during the news, any sort of silly thing can make it impossible to talk and make my eyes fill with tears. Then I will find out that someone I have known for years is dying of cancer and I feel nothing.

I also find it weird when people say something like "We won the world cup" and act really proud and superior. When they had nothing to do with it, it was just a sports team that happened to be from the same country as them that won it.

I do things like this sometimes. Like one time when we were all on the train home, the automatic speaker system was down so the conductor had to manually announce the next stop via a microphone. For some reason I imagined him rapping and making funny sounds on it and started laughing.   :lol: Then all of my friends were trying to know what I was laughing at.

Sometimes on Skype I'll start laughing a lot too but not so bad I suppose P:.
I rarely cry over films and stuff but sometimes when I'm very depressed you'll find me doing chemistry revision or w.e and crying because I feel sorry for the molecules or w.e. Once I was crying for hours because I felt sorry for the person who made my headphones(I broke them and it was obv. the knot inside was hand-tied and I just felt like a bastard for buying something from a company which would make someone tie knots on headphones for hours on end). But tbh that's more just down to my general mood anyway, I'd probably cry over anything(tbh the list is endless of stupid **** I've got upset over).
I always hate it when a comedy film is played at school because I'm still laughing like 5 minutes after everyone has stopped laughing on the same scene. And sometimes I'll just be walking down the corridor and I'll get the weirdest looks because I'll be on my own but in hysterics over something in my head D;.

Those I've put in bold is what I also do. :lol:

There was also one episode of family guy that really made me laugh and I started laughing for hours over it, I had troubles trying to keep it all inside. :lol

Yet I get asked, "why are you still laughing?" I would be like... "nothing."

I sometimes feel sorry for objects. My mum used to put a banana in my lunch box each school day. One day I didn't eat the banana so the following day my mum put the same banana in. She drew an unhappy face on it and wrote "Please eat me! Don't you love me?". This quite upset me and I HAD to eat the banana out of sympathy.
I also really feel sorry for teddy's and stuff. I also used to have two bikes and felt guilty about having a favorite.

Me too, well kind of. I recently found out that a young actress named Shannon Tavarez died of leukemia on Monday, at the untimely age of eleven. I was almost unaware of her existence for most of her life, but when I found this out I got really upset.
