Is It Inappropriate to Laugh?

We were less than 3 minutes into the FIRST quarter. That made me chuckle.

He's an idiot, but I wouldn't laugh. Makes you look like you're trying to bait him.

If that response is in your personality I see nothing wrong with laughing. I laugh all the time when here ridiculous comments from coaches. I would rather laugh then look at them like I am going to decapitate them with my look.

Body language is much more about your personality and what might work for you. No one here can honestly tell you how to react to all situations.
