I guess all of us laugh at other people's mistakes - intentionally or not. Sometimes we dont mean to and we laugh and not even realize that it has hurt other people. Its the same way when someone laughs at our mistakes. But i think every mistake is a learning experience and if we think of it that way then we can laugh away at all the mistakes in the world and it wont be that bad.

Like you sometimes I do laugh at other people's mistakes, specially if they are funny. But then again I also laugh at my own mistakes so I"m not being completely unfair :) Of course there are situations where laughing would be a no-no. But in general minor mistakes where nobody got hurt .. Yes I do laugh:) I don't get offended if people laugh with me at my mistakes as well, I guess that's why people don't get upset when I do laugh at theirs.

All I know is I laugh my own mistakes. In some way, I make it sure that, that person doesn't seem so upset in which way I can laugh. If I can't control it..I will go out and sneak somewhere to laugh.

I also have my share on that. I guess, everyone finds it difficult to control oneself from laughing if the mistake turned out funny. But the important thing to remember is, we know when to stop so as not to hurt someone's feeling.

well, it is not advisable neither i can say , not good also to laugh on others mistakes. we should try to develop the culture of understanding the feelings of others . try to motivate them if you can and try to understand his situation and environments and loop holes. i hav never laughed on someone else's mistakes/.

Sometimes, we cannot avoid laughing suddenly at a very awkward scene and so we laugh not intentionally hurting anyone. When we come to ourselves, then we show sorrow for what we have done and ask for pardon. We hope that the person hurt would pardon us but if not, that depends upon him/her and that might affect some relationships. But we really cannot avoid laughing sometimes.

Yep, I also do that. But I only laugh at my friends, because I know they won't get offended by it and that we already know everyone's personality. But if I can help sometimes, I do my best to keep myself from laughing when I personaly see other's mistakes. I also laugh at those television video shows, like AFV (America's Funniest Vidoes) or even those featured on gag shows..

It really depends on the situation, and the person. If the mistake is funny, and the person who made it can laugh at themself, I find myself laughing along. I wouldn't laugh at anyone I didn't know, or if I knew it would be hurtful.

Personally i don't go for laughing at anyone for their mistakes. Because it mostly happens like you laugh at him and next time for yours mistake he laughs at you. So it's best to laugh on something else than others mistakes.

I know, it depends on the situation. But I think laughing at someone's mistake is rude, so I try to avoid doing that. Although there are really funny situations that I really would like to laugh but I can control myself. If I would be laughed at for something stupid that I did or something that I said, I would also feel bad.
