The Easiest Way To Get Noticed In A Crowd๐Ÿ˜ถ... Is By Doing This...โ—

Unfortunately... I knew that assembly, was going be long and dull. Fortunately... I spied an empty seat next Linda, my favorite co-worker. Strategically... she had carefully chosen a place, at the back. And y'all know what happens at the back of a large meeting hall with a bunch of bored sales reps, right?

We had all bustled into that carpeted auditorium and clamored for spots, like at a carnival. Linda waved her hand and motioned to me. Clutching my sealed coffee mug I weaved between shoulders and around elbows and finally, sank into the deep, cushioned chair, beside her. Linda was a seasoned sales pro (a few years younger than me), with an acerbic sense of humour and a quick wit. If I had a kryptonite, it would be funny people who could make me laugh - and she could. The lights dimmed. A hush fell over the hall...

She whispered into my ear. "Paul... quick guess - how many people in this room had sex over the weekend?"

Those managers probably hadn't. They strutted onto the stage with those expressionless gazes pasted on their faces - squinted into the bright lights - and then they posed. Yet, I had a feeling that sales, were ... and guess what? They were, although I could barely tell. As the figures flashed a huge screen, I heard a gush of "Ahh"s and then, a murmur of "Ooh"s.

"They look average. What's so special about THAT number?" I nodded towards Linda while pointing.

"For ... it has be at least, seven and a half, before I'll give it an 'Ooh'," she replied without blinking.

The program droned on until eventually it touched other items on the agenda. They announced - amidst much applause and many hoots and hollers from his friends - that Robert, was getting married next weekend.

Linda looked at . "Well... THAT'S an expensive way let everyone know that you're getting fucked on Saturday."

The guy sitting in front of us, overheard Linda's remark and laughed loudly. People turned look at him. I covered my smile with my hands.

As they were about declare the names of the winners - for a 'wild weekend of bungee jumping and tacos'- Linda leaned towards me and shared another thought.

"I'm NEVER going to bungee jump. I was born because of a broken rubber and I'm not going to fucking die the same way."

That guy in front of us, burst out laughing once again. He couldn't stop - as the whole auditorium turned and stared. Some people just can't keep it in. As for me? I was biting my lip real hard, as I thought...

"Are business meetings the most inappropriate places to start laughing, or is there another place worse?"

Humour usually lightens up any situation... and you might have an edge to be noticed.
Unless, you're at a funeral.
I went to a funeral once... and... uhmmm... and... Never mind. ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Linda sounds like a really fun lady, and who knew business meetings could be so much fun, sounds like one hell of a meeting ya'll had there. I hope your Tuesday is just as fun..

While someone is singing karaoke.... My ex-husband and I were at the bar and I was a little trashed. I laugh a lot when I'm drinking... Apparently it was unnerving to the karaoke lady as she decided to come over to our table and ask why I was laughing.

Sounds like Linda needs to work on her 'indoor' voice.

Laughing loudly in a library might not go over well. Or during a church service. Or any room that was totally silent - until you LOL'd.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Sales environments are like that. Totally irreverent. Hard core people with personalities that won't be contained.

Nope. Not at all. It's not a doctor's office.
The people I've met in Sales are off the charts crazy and wild with uninhibited inner monologues. It's the nature of the beast.
My career in accounting was similar... except... they kept their mouths shut.
Sales? WE drove the company.
Could they fire ALL of us. We would gang up on management and let them know how we felt. โ—
I learned some refreshing habits. Why keep things in? ๐Ÿค”

Oh, she was way serious. I was having a good time, I told her she could join us if she wanted. There was another couple with us. She wrinkled up her nose and walked away.

I like this Linda, she sounds like a hoot. Once, while very stoned at a dinner at my parents house, I was leaning on my fork trying to carve off a bite of chicken when my fork slid across my plate shoveling my rice across the table. When I burst out laughing the jig was up, they knew I was high.

Most of the 'inappropriate' places to laugh have already been listed so I had to really think about this one. What came to mind is that I am often quite ticklish (especially around my rib cage) after a great partner-induced orgasm. Not sure why, maybe it's all nerve endings have been aroused and are still tingling. After it happened a couple of times, I realized better to give a warning that it might happen and was not a reflection on skills.
