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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I gave a big presentation at work, hoping to impress my boss and angle for a promotion. I was already nervous, but a co-worker at the back kept making goofy faces, causing me to repeatedly break into laughter. My boss accused me of being high, and suspended me on the spot. FML
Today, I got reprimanded by my boss for smiling and laughing too much. Last week, he reprimanded me for not smiling and laughing enough. 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, 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 boss wrote me up for saying "pissed" in front of a client. This is the same boss who nearly pissed himself laughing when a client made an extremely off-color Holocaust joke a few weeks ago, in front of half the department. FML
Today, my boss put me on suspension for violating company policy by having non-work related mail in my inbox. They were spam emails. FML
Today, I was at work when a co-worker decided it would be funny to email me from my boss's computer to tell me I had been laid off. It wasn't funny when I was fired for real after "skipping work without giving notice." FML
Today, my boss let me know that I'm being laid off, via a text message that ended in "lmao". FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Today, I got a harsh warning from my boss. I apologized because I was genuinely in the wrong. My girlfriend found out about it and sent my boss a message, threatening to kick her ass. I'm now suspended. Thanks babe. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sorry you were set up for that OP. At least you're still employed.

Maybe he was just kidding and was trying to be professional in front of the customers.

You've gotta master the office laugh OP. Howling like a banshee until you tear up is a good laugh, but not for at work.

Or excuse yourself to a room far away and release that laugh.

Anonymously mail him a gigantic ***** and tell him to go **** himself... don't send any lube either.

Gift wrap it and tell him to "get ready for the real thing." Scared one person, why not try it on your boss. On second thought that sounds like sexual harassment. Probably won't turn out well.

Ugh, deceived by your own boss... At least you are still employed. Just be sure to shoot him an email that was as equally hysterical as the one he sent you next time when he has to deal with customers.
