How To Stop Laughing At An Inappropriate Time
You've got the giggles - but you can't laugh because it would be inappropriate. We show you what to do in such situations. Watch the video for great advice on how to stop laughing at inappropriate times.
Step 1: Focus
Try biting the inside of your cheek, or the corner of your mouth. This will cause a small amount of pain which will take your focus away from your urge to laugh.
Don't bite so hard that you cause yourself an injury.
You could also try pinching yourself on the arm or the back of the hand.
Step 2: Avoid eye contact
Catching someone's eye, particularly if they see the funny side of things too, may be the only thing needed to set you off.
Avoid eye contact at all costs. Look at the floor, your plate, the wall - anything to stop you making eye contact with anyone.
Step 3: Think of something else
The important thing is to distract yourself from whatever it is that makes you want to laugh. In your head, try reciting your address backwards, saying the 6 times table or naming all the players of the England football squad - in fact, think about anything that will divert you from thinking about the thing you find funny.
Step 4: Excuse yourself
If all else fails, politely make your excuses and leave the room for a few minutes.
In private you can smirk all you like, but don't let other people hear you laughing.
Let it out of your system, take a few deep breaths and return to the room.

really tickled me.think we have all been there more than once
what a hilarious laughing sound !! LOOOL
Wow, this brings back memories when I was trying not to laugh at my English teacher in middle school. Every time she laughed, she sounded like a man and she always thought I was laughing with her, lmao. Or that time when my class had a substitute one day who was missing some teeth in the front when she opened her mouth, ROFLMAO! This would've definitely helped back then:)
terribly funny :)
when I was in elementary, we attended mass, the father said children please approach the altar, because I´m gonna bless the wine and bread. at some point one my humorous classmates, who was behind the cure, started making these funny faces... I watched him, and guess what...? I was in front of the priest... gosh it was so hysterically funny to see my friend mimicking the mass rituals that I could not stop giggling, as so were other classmates. I really wanted to explode in a big LOL. I can still remember the priest’s serious but firm regard "Are we babies?"
This reminds me of when me and my friend were laughing at my teachers tigh trousers and we kept on laughing tl we were crying if only we knew not to make eye contact cos it realy made it worse
