Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

Today, I was talking to my boss at the end of an awesome internship. He said he was really satisfied with my work, and that he had considered hiring me. Turns out he decided not to because I smile too much, and it freaks him out. FML
Today, my boss fired me because of the way I laugh. Apparently it reminds him too much of his ex-wife's laugh. I'm a guy. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for a customer complaint. The complaint was me not laughing at the customer's joke of me asking for his ID and him saying no. I'm sorry, I've been getting this "joke" a least twice a day since I started working here two years ago. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, my boss scolded me for being too friendly to our customers and told me to back off and let them do their thing. Less than an hour after doing as he said, he scolded me again, this time for slacking off and not asking them if they needed help finding stuff. There goes my bonus. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for my lack of media communications skills. It would be more understandable if I weren't a janitor. FML

It sounds as if he just wants to get rid of you. Time to seek another position.

What kind of job is it where laughing and smiling is a performance requirement? You need to discuss your boss's controlling attitude with your HR people.

A lot of jobs that involve customer service. No one wants to be served by someone who really obviously does not want to be at their job. Also no one wants to work with someone who looks miserable all the time. However there are right times to be smiling and laughing and times to look busy, if you're just happily chatting with your coworkers your bos may not think you're working hard enough.

My boss reprimands me if I'm not working. That's really all that counts ?

I think I would talk to HR about harassment. seems a bit overbearing and controlling to ask you to change how you naturally act. if you had a bad attitude or said something offensive I could see that but how happy you are at work way over the line.
