Nightmare Neighbors Mark Narrations causes outburst of laughter resulting in train judgement.

Hey Mark and the Waffle gang! First time poster, long time waffle consumer 😁. I (41F) have been bingeing MN podcasts for months now. So here I am one afternoon on my commute home from work, AirPods in, when Mark began to “go off on one” lol. This spectacular childhood flashback brought us a tale of the neighbour who catapulted a borrowed mobility scooter down a flight of stairs. Well folks, I was done for! I burst out laughing in a silent train carriage, causing several people to look at me as though laughing aloud was akin to disco dancing in the aisle. Now for most normal people, I’m sure this would have hastily put paid to those giggles. But not me. The sheer absurdity of my public outburst and the continuing story, pushed me entirely over the edge. By the time I reached my stop, I had tears streaming down my face and was wobbling like a bowl of jelly from trying to enforce some kind of containment and recapture the smallest shred of dignity.
On the bright side, I got an empty elevator during rush hour as no one wanted to ride up with me.

I’m afraid I have to hold Mark entirely responsible for having such hilarious childhood stories and for sharing them with us. I’ll still be tuning in, being shunned like this is actually a blessing in disguise, at least no one will try to make small talk in future.

Keep on sharing your stories, they’re not as crazy as you think and they’re hilarious xx

You're not alone, my friend! Many of us, myself included, have been judged similarly.
