People laughing at nothing

Got a colleague who does this. Friday afternoon the cleaner came in and offered to do the floor, colleague says (as is fairly standard) "doesn't need doing, do it tomorrow instead, thanks", cleaner goes "tomorrow is Saturday". Colleague just HAAAA HAHAHA AAAAAAH IT'S SATURDAY DON'T WANT TO COME IN THEN DO YOU? EH Monday morning comes around, other colleagues in, relates this story. Borderline in tears. Can barely get the words out it's so funny.

Stop laughing! That's gently amusing AT BEST! Is this FAKE?????? STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are a couple of people in the office who do that thing of talk laughing when nothing funny has been said by either party.

"... I think it's just ..general laughter"

Surely the worst of this happens during the LOLARIOUS cinema adverts. They're not fucking funny, they never have been and never fucking will be. I expect that the Batman cinema massacre happened during the adverts after some cunts lolled at an advert for M&Ms.

Haha, that is quite good actually

I quite often laugh after I've said something out of sheer nerves because I haven't got a fucking clue what I'm doing. Hopefully people think "this cunt laughs at himself" rather than "this cunt hasn't got a fucking clue what he's doing". But they probably just think both ha ha ha.

Salad eaters are notorious for this.

Must be nice to work in an office with Richard Herring and ... some other fella.

To be fair (and I know I used the word 'cunts' yesterday in this thread ), laughing at nothing in an office environment is simple human nature. I've done it. You've done it. Madhair60 's done it, I'll wager.
It's human nature. We can't beat it. We just have to live with it. To be a cunt is human, to be a fat bloke dressed up as Diana Dors in John Waters films and die ages ago is Divine.

Urinal Cake

Stop laughing, colleague. You're laughing at time.

They're actually grimacing and spitting through gritted teeth "GET ME A FUCKING SAUSAGE SANDWICH".

The lady in the lower-right is very attractive. I hope I'm not a sexist for saying that.

There are a gaggle of cunts like this in my office.
Humour to them is making a silly noise, or saying a word in a stupid voice.  Then the other one repeating it.  Then another one repeating it with glee.
Really fucking loud glee.

No, I don't work in a dog kennel or a nursery school.

Leaving soon though.  It's ok to set fire to your old office as you leave, right?  An old traditional prank?

Remember, salad is an anagram of a, lads.  So I think you probably are a secretly signalling sexist.

Not really, of course, lovely Glebe, you're lovely.  Fucking hell, hope I'm not being sexist for saying that.

Forking salad.

When madhair goes on a killing spree at his office, these threads will prove to be haunting reminders that we could have stopped him.

Me: Four rows from the front.
Customer: Hahahaha! At the front, four rows, hahahaha!

Just be thankful you don't work in an office with Nasty Ina:

Kevin Eldon's character laughing to himself, in the lift with Alan Partridge, was funny.

That completely pointless, mirthless laughing at nothing that oils the wheels of British social intercourse is puerile but you do notice it when it's not there. In some cultures (such as some Eastern European ones) smiling or laughing, unless something is genuinely funny or making you happy*, is seen as rude and imbecilic. Hence you get stories about Russian staff in Costa having to 'learn to smile' at customers. An Eastern European girl works in my local post office and whenever I hand her my Drop & Go packages, I feel like a gurning idiot with my overlearned politeness and pathetic laughing at nothing, like 'Oh, hi again, haha, here's my D&G, sorry the bag's a bit wet, heheh, it's still raining hard, ha...' She wordlessly takes it from me and I thank her profusely and back away, childishly muttering, 'Fuck you, Ice Queen,' only when out of the post office. The lass has done nothing wrong, she's executed the job she's paid for faultlessly, but that difference in how we approach this banal transaction is very noticeable and leaves me feeling a bit shit.

*Like poisoning suspected spies or forcing drug-addicted teenagers into prostitution SEE SHE'S MADE ME RACIST
