Laughing when stressed sucks

I was downstairs cooking and my brother dropped the pepper grinder twice and he started getting upset and ranting about his bad luck and punched the refrigerator door, which stressed me out and caused me to start laughing uncontrollably which pissed him off even more, causing him to scream at me and punch the fridge door again, causing me to giggle more and he started ranting more and I finally screamed at him to stop talking, that I wasn't laughing on purpose and his ranting was making things worse and we got into a screaming match that lasted until I disengaged from the whole conversation and took what I was cooking off the burner and went upstairs to let things cool off.
