what is the funniest thing that has happened to you?

What a kind person you are surfingsal not to have spoiled the lady’s joy at receiving your flowers. Your son sounds like a lovely caring person too.🤗

That is so lovely. It’s heartwarming to read.
I can’t think of anything specific at the moment to share.

So everyone had that warm fuzzy feeling you get when someone is made happy - by mistake even! A lovely story!

How kind you and your son are surfingsal

What a lovely story and how kind you both are.
Her's some flowers for you

That's lovely - how nice of you both to let her enjoy them!

That was so kind of you. You do now deserve some flowers of your own....

What a lovely post. So kind of you not to spoil it for her. 💐

Your son has certainly inherited your kindness - well done 💐

How lovely of you ( and your son). Kindness indeed.

That has made me smile 😊, good for you on not taking away this lady's joy. Your son sending again next year - how lovely! 💐💐💐

We driving down from Yorkshire for a funeral in Wales. I had chosen to travel in what I was going to wear at the service, but DH chose to change into his suit when we got to his sister’s house. We were held up and so late there wasn’t time for him to change anywhere except in the back of the car. As I helped him get his legs into his trousers and he was buttoning his shirt, I looked round and there were people staring in the window at us! I’ve never been so embarrassed. He was knotting his tie as we hurried into the crem and both trying to stop laughing!

The funniest thing that happened to me - I walked all the way to work with my dress tucked in my knickers 😂- I used to wear skirts/dresses those days

I used to work in restaurants years ago.

My uniform was black flat shoes, black trousers, white shirt and white under-shirt t-shirt.

Left for work that morning, got on the bus, travelled quite a distance, walked over the road to work, walked in and a colleague said ''your shirt is on inside out!''

AAARRRGGHHHH! I mentally screamed! Ran into the loo fast for a quick change!

what a loving, kind son you have surfingsal, just like you I'll warrant.. I'm so glad you gave your neighbour a really special day .

It's lovely that the flowers ended up cheering an extra person, as well as the sender and intended recipient.
Bargain! Three for two.

How absolutely lovely and so kind of you and your son, making an old ladies day, she will re-live that day over and over again.

Our son asked me if I wanted a trip down memory lane and took me back to what used to be my parents house (long since died) and the house I left on my wedding day for the last time to get married. It was a very sentimental day as my husband had died a few years before. I have all the photos of me leaving our home with my late dad to go to the church.

We parked the car on the road outside my old home, went for a walk about and when we got back to the car, our son answered his mobile phone and said, the door is open mum. I went to the car and tried to open the door and alarms went off, the people who were now livcng in our old home came running out shouting at me for trying to steal their car.

Our son is 6 ft 5 ins tall and built like a brick wall and when he walked up to them they calmed down as our son explained that I used to live in their house and that is where I got married from and just wanted to re-live some memories.

They were very kind after that and invited us in but we thanked them and I said thank you but no, I want to remember what our home looked like all those years ago and not what it looks like now. I apologised for trying to get into their car. They asked me about the house in the 1960's and I told them about the railway line that used to run along the bottom of the garden and where all the massive steam trains used to run especially Sir Nigel Greasley (I also have a photo of that as well). They were very interested as they had lived there a few years and never knew there was a railway line (now disused) buried under lots of trees and bushes now overgrown, they knew about the bridge but didn't know it was a railway bridge.

Anyway, it did give us a laugh as our son whatsapped everybody in our family telling them that mum had tried to break into a car.

A bunch of flowers has just arrived from my son ! I did say to him that there was no need but he went and sent some anyway.

* Surfingsal* what a lovely kind heart you have, your son sounds a lively man too

What a lovely start to this thread, and what lovely people you and your son are.
In response to the original subject and funny things which have happened to me: I was away with my son and husband at our caravan and went to sit in one of our camp chairs. Clearly the mature fabric of the chair was unequal to dealing with my mature (OK fat) backside and my rear went straight through the seat, resulting in me being stuck, legs pointing upwards and trapped in the seat frame. My very ungallant son and husband did not rush to my rescue. Rather, after practically wetting themselves laughing at my undignified plight, they rushed to get phone cameras to take unflattering pictures.
You can choose your friends but not your family.....

The day after my first wedding, my husband and I had to visit a bungalow with a view to buying it before heading off an honeymoon. He was cross because he felt my Mum had arranged it at an inconvenient time. I was defensive because I felt she was trying to help us get the property before it got snatched up. It was also pouring with rain.
When we got there the old lady wouldn't let us near the place and it was a real disaster with a garden of thistles that were taller than than the property and the stems were massive.
As we left, with my husband chuntering about it all being a waste of time, the weather brightened considerably so I decided to open the sun roof of the car. His shouts of "No," did not filter through my brain and as it was a soft sun roof the water that had pooled poured over the pair of us. I couldn't stop laughing. He couldn't stop being angry. The more I laughed, the angrier he got. I should have realised then I had made the most terrible mistake.
My mother went on to buy the property complete with a huge amount of rats who didn't miss the 90 cats the woman had taken with her! They needed a digger to get rid of the weeds and the whole place had to be gutted.

@surfingsal How lovely. What a kind and thoughtful lady you are. You probably have no idea just how much that meant to your sweet neighbour. You rock !
