Life's ridiculous situations: features and interesting facts

Sometimes from someone you can hear: "I constantly get into ridiculous situations!" How can this be understood? What situations can be attributed to ridiculous? How often do such stories happen to people and what is the chance to never commit an absurd act? Read about this in the article.

What does the word "ridiculous"

The explanatory dictionary Ushakov interprets the word "ridiculous" as "senseless, devoid of common sense." Vladimir Ivanovich Dahl - Russian lexicographer, who for 53 years was an explanatory dictionary, - believed that "ridiculous" - is "ugly, inelegant, meaningless, empty, awkward." The explanatory dictionary of T. F. Efremova explains that this word means "awkward, awkward and meaningless".

Synonyms for the word "ridiculous" a lot: awkward, funny, anecdotal, stupid, clumsy, empty, strange, unreasonable, stupid, absurd.

Now it is clear that ridiculous situations are strange, meaningless, stupid and ridiculous cases that are not uncommon in our life. Another major sign is that a person goes to the story not at his own will, but accidentally, accidentally. People around often laugh at what happened, while the main participant feels shame, awkwardness.

Who can get into a ridiculous situation?

Anyone can get into a similar story! Nobody is immune from, for example, during a feast to overturn a dish with a salad or cake, inadvertently pour a glass of wine on the dress of the headmistress or, slipping, fall in front of all the guests.

As you can see, every person can get into a ridiculous story. Even animals often fall into ridiculous situations. For example, the head of an overly curious dog was stuck in the doorway, or the parrot, trying to get drunk from the bathroom, fell into the water.

A non-public person and a celebrity

Non-public people are easier. They are known only by those who directly attended and observed what is happening, and it is unlikely that history will go beyond the family circle. But the celebrities, getting into ridiculous situations, suffer much more seriously. The Paparazzi try not to miss a scandal, and the stupid stories that happen to actors, singers, politicians, sportsmen, artists, journalists and all who millions know, immediately get on the front pages of newspapers, on the Internet. People are happy to read the "yellow" press, discuss the tricks of the stars, their mistakes, tasteless dresses, savoring ridiculous situations that have become public. This is one of the minuses of fame. It is sad only that often because of the unhealthy curiosity of the public and ridicule over those who got into this situation, not only the main characters of the event, but also the members of their families suffer. This can be quite painful.

When do such stories happen to people?

There are many reasons why there are ridiculous and ridiculous situations:

• Stupid accident, coincidence, when the hero of events is not to blame. A strong gust of wind lifted his skirt, machinery broke down, a program crashed, the lock jammed - you can enumerate it indefinitely.
• A stupid initiative - a person takes up a case that he can not do, or acts impromptu, although sometimes such experiments end very successfully.
• Illiteracy - it's funny to listen to the answers of stupid people or the long reasoning of a person on a topic that is completely unfamiliar to him.
• Alcoholic intoxication, when the mental, physiological and behavioral functions of a person are violated. Drunk people do not control themselves and therefore often fall into ridiculous situations.
• Haste - when a person is in a hurry, he can, for example, fall, drop something, smash. From the outside it often looks ridiculous. It's not for nothing that they say: you'll hurry - you'll make people laugh!
• Awkwardness - there are people who, due to their clumsiness, very often become the main participants in some stories.

Of course, ridiculous situations in life can occur for other reasons. Next, consider some options.

The ridiculous situations in which men fall

Often this happens because of drinking too much strong drinks. To fall face down into a salad during a feast is the smallest oversight that a drunk man can tolerate. The ridiculous situations of the highest category - it's to fall on the dance floor and draw the lady behind you, crash into the stage and knock off the actor, swear obscenities or arrange a striptease in front of everyone.

Sometimes a man can get into a ridiculous story because of his power: Robi Brown, for example, strongly gesticulating during a conversation, accidentally broke the nose of a nearby companion.

And sometimes a stupid story can happen because of the inability to keep your mouth shut: in the smoking-room he told a friend a funny story about the boss, who was standing around the corner ...

Stupid and funny stories that happened to women

Representatives of the fair sex, too, often fall into ridiculous situations. Women are often associated with ridiculous stories on the roads. There are many stories and videos about how a lady tries to fill a car on the wrong side, paints her lips at the wheel, answers police questions, clapping long cilia. From real stories anecdotes are born:

• A beautiful girl brakes on a red traffic light. стоит, ее все объезжают, сигналят. The yellow lights up - the girl does not move from her place, the green one - the car is standing, everyone is driving around, signaling. Again, first red, then yellow and green light, the girl still does not move from her place. вежливо спрашивает: " Мадам, предпочитает какой-нибудь другой цвет?" The policeman approaches the car and politely asks: " Madam, prefers some other color?"
• The wife asks her husband: "Dear, let's buy a car with you, I'll learn how to drive, we will travel, we will see the light." The husband is puzzled: "This one or that?"

Also, ladies often become victims of their own style. Too short a skirt bared the fifth point when tilted, a tight dress showed all the shortcomings of the figure, accidentally unfastened the bra, burst tight pants - this story can happen to every woman, regardless of her social status.

Laughable situations, which hit famous people

Giselle Beyoncé is a well-known American singer and dancer - during her performance in Montreal (Canada) she came too close to the powerful fan that was standing on stage. The blades captured her curls. Help immediately rushed assistants. The singer was rescued for 7 minutes, but all this time she continued to sing, although her face was clearly affected by fright and awkwardness. For such endurance, Beyoncé received many compliments.

The popular American performer Katy Perry, when performing in Guadalajara, Mexico, unexpectedly jumped into a huge cake on stage, which was not planned by scriptwriters. As a result, the glaze shattered far around, staining many spectators. But it was only half the trouble, since Cathy could not get to her feet, she always slipped on a pink cream and fell. Assistants hurried to help her, who also slipped and fell. In the end, Perry was simply dragged out of the wings behind the scenes like a sack of potatoes, and cleaners came on stage to prevent the remnants of the cake from interfering with other performers. Hitch did not like the audience very much, and Cathy was fined by the organizers of the concert. That's how sad and absurd the desire to stand out can end.

The absurd situations during interviews or public appearances are what the Ukrainian ex-president Viktor Yanukovich became famous for. "We must recycle metals to their very depths ...", "Anton Chekhov is a great Ukrainian poet ...", "And Mishka listens and eats ..." - such remarks were often heard from Viktor Fedorovich. There are even collections in which his blunders are cited, united by themes - from the field of geography, literature, history and so on.

Jennifer Lawrence, an American actress, journalists dubbed one of the most clumsy. This is because she often falls - on the red carpet, on the stage, on the steps ...

Unsuccessful outfits of stars are a very popular topic. Dressing is not for the weather or tasteless, celebrities often fall into the most ridiculous situations.
