They only get worse when you try not to do it. I was in Calculus 3, Freshman year in college, and I and a freind just started giggling during the lecture. It was a small lecture and we were near the professor, only a couple rows back in a normal classroom. We were both turning red trying to stop, we were silent, but barely and shaking trying to control it. We could not look at each other, if we did we would not have held it in. If I tried to take notes and spied him from the corner of my eye it was torture. I had to look down at my desk, with my hand over my face to hold it in. I had tears I was laughing so hard, but silently. Once the lecture was over, and everyone was leaving, the pressure just dissipated, it was the effort to hold it in when we had to that made it so bad. I'm NOT the giggling type and I have no idea where that came from.
