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?

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

Well since this came from the US. I know this is real. It is always the idiots that are in charge. One time my boss told me to mop the freezer then yelled at me. FYL

What did he yell for? We mop the freezer weekly, it's not hard. Just use really hot water and a pretty wet mop, work in small batches, and leave the mop water outside.

Read ANY modern science textbook. Birds evolved from Reptiles which evolved from dinosaurs. Morons!

Well, no. The reptiles you see today actually diverged from dinosaurs long ago. The only living 'dinosaurs' you'll see today are birds.

I mean modern reptiles and dinosaurs shared a common ancestor.

If you get fired for your bosses stupidity..then you're better off not working for him because it might even get worse down the line.

Birds are descendants of reptiles. Additionally , Pluto is no longer a planet. Would it kill you to read a book once in awhile?! YDI

Birds evolving from reptiles is still very much a theory, but even if it's true it's still no reason to believe that are still reptiles. Lol. Kids these days.

Not a theory anymore. Google the chickenosaur experiments

Birds ARE reptiles, funnybone! The are classified as Kindom: Animalia, Phylum: Cordata, Class: REPTILIA, Clade: Dinosauria, Class: Aves (also sometimes referred to as Reptilia Aves). Clearly your boss is not the idiot here. PS: Feel free to consult the latest edition of "Biology" by Campbell & Reece for confirmation.
