This happened earlier today. I work in data entry, open office, 15 people in a room, processing transactions all day. Since COVID, we communicate 99.9% by group chat, so the room is pretty silent.
It was Monday morning after a somewhat hectic weekend, and I felt a little loopy from lack of sleep. As part of my morning’s work, I processed a transaction for someone whose first/last happens to match the name of a property on a Monopoly board, and for some reason this struck me as the funniest thing ever. Cue the FU: I tried and failed to suppress a laugh, and the laugh came out sounding equal parts embarrassed and self-amused due to the highly corny nature of the joke in my head, combined with loopiness.
Out of coincidence, someone near me passed some truly alarming gas at the same time that I began laughing. We're talking grievous olfactory assault-- not like rank eggs or old garbage, but like actual uncovered waste. The tone and timing of my laugh made it sound like I’d been the culprit, and my knowing this just made me laugh more, like some cartoon villain who has opened up gastric hell and is amused by the harm he's caused.
No one has made eye contact with me since the incident.
TL;DR I laughed at a dumb joke in my head at the same time someone laid an SBD, causing everyone to think I'd dealt it.
