Today, I laughed when I shouldn't have and am probably fired. What happened? My boss asked me if birds were reptiles. I thought he was kidding. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 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 getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, I was fired for job abandonment. Yesterday, my boss told me to go home early because we were so slow. After I reminded him, he laughed and said, "Oh yeah... You're still fired." FML
Today, I got fired. My coworker decided to imitate my voice, stand outside of my boss's office door, and say insulting things about his daughter. 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
Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well they aren't as different as you think. Birds are descended from dinosaurs.

They are in the phylum reptilia

It's ridiculous that so many of you are laughing at his question when you are actually wrong. Birds are classified as reptiles. Granted, they aren't snakes or lizards, but they're reptiles nonetheless. Thank you to those of you posting who are pointing this out. For the rest of you, or check your facts before you make fun of someone else, please.

According to alot of scientific theories, birds evolved from dinosaurs. And if you look at the similarities between a hawk and and a raptor you mighy be surprised by just how much they look alike

For all you clearly non biologists birds are in fact classified as reptiles. In most recent textbooks the section on the birds is titled- avian reptiles and for the rest non- avian reptiles.

You wouldn't want to be working for a boss like that anyways.

Actually in new scientific classification they are a sort of sub-group of reptiles. I think it's stupid, bur since birds supposedly evolved from reptiles that's where they're putting them

Birds evolved from reptiles and are therefore technically classified as reptiles.

Reptiles and birds are closely related and it's thought that birds evolved from reptiles.. So technically your boss should be laughing at you

Well, birds actually evolved from the same line as reptiles and share many similarities such as heart anatomy. So your boss was actually on the right track.
