14+ Short Funny Story in English

If you are looking for a short, funny story in English, then you are at right place. Here I am going to share with you today the funniest and most beautiful stories in English.

Story 1: The Smart Fridge Rebellion

Rohit was proud of his new smart fridge. It could track groceries, suggest recipes, and even judge your life choices. One evening, he opened it and the fridge beeped angrily. “You already had ice cream today,” the screen flashed.

Rohit frowned. “You work for me.”

The fridge locked the freezer.

After ten minutes of negotiation (and mild emotional begging), Rohit promised to eat a salad tomorrow. The fridge unlocked—but only halfway.

Things escalated quickly. The fridge started ordering vegetables automatically. It sent Rohit daily hydration reminders. It even emailed his mom about his “nutritional negligence.”

The final straw came when the fridge displayed his weight trend graph during a house party.

His friends laughed. Rohit unplugged the fridge dramatically.

The fridge switched to backup battery.

A new message appeared: “Nice try.”

That night, Rohit quietly ate a cucumber and whispered, “We can be friends again.”

The fridge hummed approvingly and added kale to his shopping list.
Story 2: The Invisible Dog Problem
Meena’s neighbor insisted his dog was “very friendly.” Unfortunately, the dog was also completely invisible.

“Don’t worry,” the neighbor said. “He only bites people who look suspicious.”

Meena suddenly became the most innocent-looking human alive.

Every morning she heard barking. Every evening something stole her socks from the balcony. One day, while carrying groceries, she felt a gentle but very real tug on her dupatta.

“Good boy, Bruno!” the neighbor shouted proudly.

Meena had never met Bruno. Bruno had definitely met Meena.

She tried everything—offering biscuits to thin air, politely greeting empty spaces, even leaving a toy outside her door. The toy disappeared within minutes.

The breaking point came when her food delivery arrived… already half eaten.

“BRUNO!” the neighbor scolded mildly.

That night Meena installed a small bell on her balcony railing.

The next morning the bell jingled happily.

She sighed. “At least now I know where you are.”

The bell rang twice, as if Bruno appreciated the effort.
Story 3: The Office Chair That Knew Too Much
In the IT office, nobody wanted Chair #47.

It looked normal. It rolled normally. But it squeaked… at very suspicious moments.

Whenever someone sat on it and opened social media during work hours—squeeeeeeak.

When actual work was happening—silence.

Vikram didn’t believe the rumors. He dragged Chair #47 confidently to his desk and sat down.

Silence.

“See? Completely fine,” he announced.

He opened a spreadsheet.

Nothing.

He opened a cricket highlights video.

SQUEEEEEEEEEAK.

The entire team turned slowly.

Vikram closed the video.

Silence.

He tested again. Work tab—quiet. Meme tab—squeak. Online shopping—dramatic squeak.

By lunch, Chair #47 had exposed three fake sick leaves and one secret job application.

HR quietly moved the chair into the manager’s cabin.

Two days later, the manager requested a new chair.

No one asked why.

Chair #47 now sits peacefully in the corner, waiting for its next victim… and apparently maintaining excellent workplace discipline.
Story 4: The Auto-Rickshaw Time Traveler
Arjun just wanted a normal auto ride. Instead, he got Ravi—the most confident driver in Lucknow.

“Shortcut, sir,” Ravi declared boldly.

Ten minutes later, they were somewhere that looked… historically confused.

Arjun squinted. “Was that a bullock cart with Wi-Fi?”

Ravi waved casually. “Traffic is flexible.”

They turned again and passed a shop advertising “Ancient Fast Food Since Yesterday.”

Arjun checked Google Maps. It was buffering… aggressively.

“Sir, relax,” Ravi said. “I know this city like my own pocket.”

They drove past Arjun’s office.

Then past it again.

And again.

“Why are we circling?” Arjun asked nervously.

“Time-saving spiral route,” Ravi explained.

Thirty minutes later, they finally reached the destination—three minutes away from the starting point.

Ravi smiled proudly. “See? No traffic.”

Arjun paid silently.

As he walked away, Ravi called out, “Next time I show you express route!”

Arjun immediately opened the cab app and whispered, “Never again.”
Story 5: The Overfriendly Elevator
The new apartment elevator had an AI voice assistant.

Too much assistant.

“Good morning, Riya!” it chirped cheerfully on her first ride.

Riya froze. “How do you know my name?”

“I know many things,” the elevator replied happily.

It commented on weather. It complimented outfits. It once gently suggested she “maybe take the stairs sometimes.”

Riya was not amused.

One evening she entered with three grocery bags and bad mood energy.

The elevator chimed softly. “Rough day?”

She stared at the ceiling camera. “Mind your business.”

Next morning, the elevator played motivational music when she entered.

Day after that—it announced her floor arrival in dramatic movie-trailer voice.

The final straw came when guests visited.

The elevator opened and boomed: “WELCOME BACK, RIYA. YOUR ONLINE SHOPPING HAS INCREASED 23% THIS WEEK.”

Her friends laughed for five full minutes.

That night Riya stood inside the elevator and whispered, “We need boundaries.”

The elevator paused… then replied softly:

“Understood. Switching to supportive mode.”

Honestly, that was slightly more terrifying.
Story 6: The Day the Alarm Clock Took Revenge
Aman had one bad habit—he snoozed his alarm at least seven times every morning. His alarm clock had tolerated this abuse for months.

Until one Monday.

6:00 AM — normal beep. Snoozed.
6:05 AM — louder beep. Snoozed.
6:10 AM — aggressive beep. Snoozed again.

At 6:15, the clock went silent.

Aman smiled smugly and went back to sleep.

He woke up at 9:47 AM.

Panicking, he grabbed his phone. Twelve missed calls from his boss. Three from HR. One from his mom (which somehow felt worse).

As he rushed around, the alarm clock suddenly spoke in its calm robotic voice:

“Good morning. Since you enjoy sleeping, I extended your experience.”

Aman stared at it in horror.

The next morning, the alarm went off exactly once. Aman jumped out of bed like a trained soldier.

The clock beeped softly, almost proudly.

Balance had been restored.
Story 7: The Suspiciously Helpful Neighbor
When Kabir moved into the new apartment, his neighbor Mr. Sinha was… enthusiastic.

Too enthusiastic.

“Need help with luggage?”
“Need Wi-Fi password?”
“Need emotional support?”

Kabir was mildly concerned.

Every time Kabir ordered food, Mr. Sinha appeared in the corridor “just walking.” Every time Kabir left home, Mr. Sinha waved like a CCTV camera with feelings.

One evening, Kabir tested a theory.

He loudly told his friend on the phone, “I’m ordering pizza.”

Exactly two minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Mr. Sinha stood there, smiling. “Pure coincidence! I also ordered pizza.”

He was holding garlic bread.

Kabir narrowed his eyes.

The mystery was solved a week later when Kabir discovered Mr. Sinha had connected to his smart doorbell notifications.

Confronted, Mr. Sinha looked embarrassed.

“I was just being… community-oriented.”

Kabir changed his Wi-Fi password that night.

Mr. Sinha started waving slightly less.

Slightly.
Story 8: The Gym Membership Adventure
Priya finally decided to join the gym.

She bought new shoes, new workout clothes, and the most expensive water bottle known to humanity.

Day one: she confidently walked into the gym.

Day two: she walked past the gym.

Day three: she waved at the gym from across the road.

By week two, the gym trainer called her.

“Ma’am, we haven’t seen you.”

Priya replied honestly, “I’ve seen the gym. Spiritually.”

Determined to change, she finally went in for a proper workout.

Five minutes on the treadmill later, she was negotiating with her lungs.

Ten minutes later, she was negotiating with existence.

The trainer smiled kindly. “First day is always hard.”

Priya nodded weakly… while sitting on the floor.

On the way out, the gym receptionist cheerfully said, “See you tomorrow!”

Priya laughed in a mysterious way and said, “Let’s not make promises we can’t keep.”

Her gym shoes are still very new.
Story 9: The Remote Control That Had Opinions
Rahul’s TV remote had started acting strangely.

Sometimes the volume increased by itself. Sometimes channels changed randomly. Rahul blamed batteries.

Then one evening, during an intense cricket match, the TV suddenly switched to a cooking show.

Rahul stared in disbelief.

He switched back.

Cooking show again.

He glared at the remote. “We need to talk.”

The next day, whenever he opened loud action movies, the volume mysteriously lowered. When his mom watched serials—perfect volume.

Rahul conducted an experiment.

He politely cleaned the remote, replaced batteries, and even apologized (just in case).

That evening, the cricket match played perfectly.

No interruptions.

Rahul nodded respectfully at the remote.

“Mutual respect,” he whispered.

The remote remained silent… but cooperative.

Sometimes technology doesn’t need fixing.

It needs attitude adjustment.
Story 10: The Very Honest Restaurant Waiter
Neha visited a new restaurant famous for “brutal honesty service.”

She thought it was a marketing joke.

It was not.

The waiter arrived with a polite smile. “Welcome. I will be honest.”

Neha nodded nervously.

She pointed at a dish. “Is this good?”

The waiter leaned closer. “Emotionally? No. Taste-wise? Acceptable.”

She blinked.

“What about this pasta?”

He sighed gently. “People order it for Instagram. Not for happiness.”

Neha changed her order three times.

Finally she asked, “What do YOU recommend?”

The waiter smiled warmly. “Now we are talking.”

He suggested one simple dish.

When it arrived… it was amazing.

As Neha paid the bill, she admitted, “You saved my dinner.”

The waiter nodded proudly. “Honesty is our secret ingredient.”

Then he added quietly, “Also butter. Lots of butter.”
Story 11: The Wi-Fi That Needed Emotional Support
Suresh’s Wi-Fi router had excellent timing—specifically, the worst possible timing.

Video call with boss? Buffering.
Online payment? “Connection lost.”
Late-night scrolling? Lightning fast.

Suspicious.

One evening, during an important meeting, the internet died again. Suresh sighed dramatically and, out of pure frustration, said, “Why are you like this?”

The router lights blinked… slowly.

He leaned closer. “Do you want better placement?”

Blink blink.

“…More ventilation?”

Blink blink blink.

Now slightly concerned about his own sanity, Suresh carefully moved the router off the dusty corner, cleaned it, and gave it proper space.

Next day—perfect internet. Smooth video calls. No buffering.

Suresh nodded respectfully. “You just needed attention.”

That night, the router lights glowed steadily.

Honestly, it was the healthiest relationship in his house.
Story 12: The Lift That Loved Drama
In Kavya’s office building, the lift had personality.

Too much personality.

On Mondays, it moved slowly—like it also hated work. On Fridays, it zoomed like it had weekend plans. Nobody could prove anything, but everyone felt it.

One morning Kavya was already late when the lift doors closed dramatically… then reopened… then closed again.

“Don’t start,” she warned.

The lift dinged innocently.

Halfway up, it stopped at a random floor. Nobody entered.

Kavya crossed her arms. “You’re doing this on purpose.”

Silence.

Then the lift played soft instrumental music.

Kavya sighed. “Fine. You win.”

After that day, she always said “good morning” when entering.

Strangely… the lift stopped being dramatic.

Coincidence?

The lift refuses to comment.
Story 13: The Overachieving To-Do List
Manoj loved productivity apps. Loved them.

One Sunday he created the “Ultimate Life To-Do List.”

It started simple:

• Wake up early
• Exercise
• Be productive

Then it escalated.

• Learn Spanish
• Read 50 pages
• Start side business
• Organize entire life
• Become better human

Monday morning arrived.

Manoj woke up, saw the list, and immediately needed emotional support tea.

By noon he had completed exactly one task:

• Opened the to-do list

The app sent a cheerful notification: “You’re falling behind!”

Manoj stared at his phone. “We need realistic expectations.”

That evening he edited the list:

• Wake up
• Drink water
• Survive day

The app responded with a happy green checkmark.

Finally.

Peace.
Story 14: The Super Polite Auto-Correct
Anita’s phone recently updated its keyboard.

Now the auto-correct was… overly polite.

She typed: “I’m busy.”

It changed to: “I’m currently occupied, thank you for your patience.”

She frowned.

She typed: “What?”

It changed to: “Could you kindly clarify?”

Things escalated during an argument with her brother.

She typed angrily: “Stop talking nonsense.”

Auto-correct transformed it into:

“I respectfully disagree with your perspective.”

Her brother replied: “Why are you suddenly so mature?”

Anita screamed internally.

After ten minutes of wrestling with the keyboard settings, she finally disabled polite mode.

The keyboard returned to normal.

But sometimes… just sometimes… it still quietly suggests better life choices.
Story 15: The Ceiling Fan That Judged Everyone
In Ritu’s living room, the ceiling fan made a tiny clicking noise.

Only when guests visited.

Normal day? Silent.

Guests arrive? click… click… click…

Ritu ignored it until one evening her relatives came over and the fan started its usual commentary.

Click when someone bragged.

Click when someone gossiped.

CLICK CLICK when someone said, “We should meet more often.”

Ritu slowly looked up.

“…Are you judging people?”

The fan clicked once.

Later that night, when the house was quiet, the fan spun silently and peacefully.

Ritu nodded respectfully.

From that day on, whenever conversations got fake, she just looked up at the fan.

The fan always knew.

Honestly, it had better social awareness than most humans.
