I'm sure we've all had those moments where something hilarious happens, and we try our best to hold it in – but fail miserably.

Well, one time, I was on the subway, and I had one of those "I'm about to laugh so hard I might pass out" moments. Has that ever happened to you? 😅 I swear, I almost gave myself an injury trying to stop from laughing!

The cause of my laughter

So, here's what happened: I was minding my own business, scrolling through my phone, when I saw this hilarious video of a cat trying to jump into a box but completely missing. 🐱 The way the cat flailed in mid-air was just too much, and I burst out laughing. The only problem? I was in a packed subway train, and there was no way I could let out a full-blown laugh without drawing attention.

Holding it in... badly

I tried my best to keep it together. 🤭 You know that feeling when you're laughing so hard on the inside but your face stays completely serious? Yeah, that was me. I was doing the whole "silent laugh" where your body shakes but no sound comes out. It's like my face was going through a battle of "don't make a sound" while my brain kept thinking of the cat's failed jump. It was a mess! At this point, I was starting to turn red, and my stomach was literally in pain from holding it in. 😬

The almost disaster

But then, things took a turn. A lady standing next to me started coughing... but in that awkward way where it sounds like a laugh. 🤣 She did this a couple of times, and I couldn't help but think she was somehow laughing too. That was it! I lost all control. I covered my mouth, but the laughter still escaped in the form of a strange snort-laugh hybrid. You know, the one that's not quite a laugh but not a cough either. Totally embarrassing, but I couldn't help it!

The aftermath

I quickly glanced around, hoping no one noticed – but, of course, some people were looking. 🙈 I could feel my face turning even redder. Thankfully, the train was about to reach my stop, so I could get off and escape the awkwardness. As soon as the doors opened, I stepped out, still chuckling to myself about how ridiculous the whole thing was. It's safe to say, I'll never look at a cat trying to jump into a box the same way again! 😆
