and when they look confused, double down. start glancing around the room and getting scared. ask if they heard something. don’t stop the bit until they laugh.
works every time
everytime i managed to somewhat control myself id look at my friend and then we were both back at square one
honestly it’s the best kind of laugh, especially when you inadvertently feed off your friends laughter and then you’re both stuck in an endless loop of stifling and choking down your fits
even if shit continues to hit the fan, pretty much everyone ends up exactly where they’re supposed to be. you will find a place to live, a job, a lover, friends, etc. just keep going and it will be ok.
