I think it depends on whether people are laughing at you or with you...I remember the kids in my year 5-6 class hated my guts, so they preferred to do the former.
One day we were taking turn reading stories to the rest of the class. I volunteered to go next, so I stood up to fetch my story. While I was retrieving it from my bag, I heard a bunch of s******s and a hushed laughter.
"What's so funny?" the teacher asked.
"Oh nothing," one of the boys quipped, "Just that Strop has his pants on backwards."
