Today, a coworker and I pulled a April Fools' prank on our boss. She "borrowed" his keys and rolled down his window. I took a car window from a scrap yard and sprinkled it on the ground near his door. His response was to kick the nearest object in anger. The nearest object happened to be my car. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, I was asked to crawl through a sunroof because one of my coworkers locked her keys in her car. After I got the keys, instead of opening the car door, I climbed back out through the sunroof. To laughter. FML
Today, for April fools I decided to set off the smoke detectors in my friend's apartment while he was sleeping and saran wrap the outside of his bedroom doorway so he would smack into it. Instead, he jumped out the window and broke his leg. FML
Today, I played a friendly prank on my dad, loosening the legs of his chair so it would fall apart when he sat on it. He responded by making me stand outside and watch as he keyed both sides of my car, front to back, as punishment. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I was late for work so I went to smash the side window with a big rock. The rock bounced off the window and into my face. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, when I went to work, my nice coworker gave me a gift basket. And cookies. I had to tell him that I caught his kid keying my car last night. FML
Today, while driving into work, a guy cut me off and I yelled some nasty things out of my window at him. He heard me, followed me to work, took a baseball bat out and then chased me into the office. He also smashed my windshield on his way out. FML
Today, my co-worker and I played a game where we give each other the bird in whatever creative manner we could come up with. Deciding to be sneaky, I hid behind a wall with my middle finger up as I heard him walking into the office. It was my boss. FML
Today, I couldn't get into my car. In an attempt to get in, I broke a window. As I climbed in, the actual owner of the car walked up. Mine was across the street. FML
Today, just a few minutes after I got to work, my usually laconic boss came into my office and said, "Pack your stuff and get the f*ck out." Apparently, half my department was being downsized. Thinking it was an April Fool's, I burst out laughing and told him how funny the prank was. He wasn't kidding. FML

You could say your prank backFIRED.

Good pun, but being fired doesn't have to deal with this post. It was a prank.
Polynomial 28
It was a car pun. A car backfires, well, old ones do.

#16 or OP is going to be FIRED.

#16 all cars backfire. Unless it is an electric motor, it absolutely can backfire. Doesn't matter if it is 100 years old or just off the assembly line.

True, but older cars with worn down parts are more likely to backfire.

Sucks. Although he couldn't have it it that hard.

It's not that hard to leave a good dent from hitting it once.

that's what you get for pulling a prank.

But that's literally the entire premise of April Fools. You're supposed to play pranks on people.

This is a ydi in my opinion. You don't play pranks on people unless you're prepared for the fallout & repercussions. And there's always repercussions.

There are risks to every prank but...what if the boss had kicked someone else's car? Kicking someone else's car in a fit of anger seems kind of irresponsible to me. The boss shouldn't have done it and if there are any major damages he should pay for the repairs. This is like people who get rear-ended and go in a road rage rampage and take a baseball bat to the other dudes car. Was it their fault for rear-ending you? Most likely. But does that mean you can go around smashing peoples stuff? No. I find the situation hilarious and ironic though. I didn't vote YDI because if his boss had been a mature/rational individual this prank should have been low-risk but....I laughed all the same! Pranks are funny, but sometimes a backfired prank is even funnier! :3

Really?!! You never pulled a prank on April 1st ?
laden_swallow09 34
I haven't. To avoid exactly this. Believe it or not, there are those of us who don't think that going out of our way to make someone's day miserable is worth a giggle.

Next time park your car as far as possible from the one you're pranking on.

NEVER mess with a man's car!!

The boss probably thought a burglar busted his window. That doesn't give him the right to kick the shit out of him employees' cars.

I know i just meant it as a joke...Because alot of men absolutely love their cars... What i meant was nothing good ever happens when you mess with a man's car
