In this episode of “Shouldn’t Laugh But…”, Laura is convinced her husband Ali might secretly be a psychopath-because who chooses to wear jeans indoors? And if that wasn’t enough, she's lost all respect for herself after forgetting her keys.

Carmen, meanwhile, brings an embarrassing potluck confession to the table and reveals the moment she dated a man whose dad boldly declared, “IF A PLANE IS FALLING, YOU BETTER HOPE THE PILOT IS A MAN.” Ahh mate.

Plus! A woman buys herself a full-blown dating billboard to announce she’s single, and another proudly watches Ratatouille every night-totally normal behaviour and definitely not concerning at all.

Expect chaos, oversharing, and the kind of stories that make you say, “We really shouldn’t laugh… but we will.”
