comic sans use is a serious thing

Boss is still a dick for throwing it out. With a couple clicks OP could have changed the font.

Do it in another outrageous font

That's a big YDI, because even if he crumpled the paper, don't you have it saved on the computer? Changing the font takes 2 seconds

#93, I'm pretty sure the embarrassment from his boss is the reason for this FML, not the possibility of not having the report saved on his computer.

Use wing dings next time

There really is nothing wrong with comic sans.

wait if he threw out a physical copy of the report how would a couple clicks change anything?

Arial & Times New Roman are always preferred...

A couple of clicks could change the font. Then a new hard copy could be printed.

Why so serious?

A report for the board is serious.

I don't understand, why do people hate Comic Sans so much? It's just a font...

it's not just a font. it's a lifestyle that one must ignore!

#90 - while I usually agree that the circle jerk over "Comic Sans is the worst!" is stupid, in this case I have to agree. Fonts have certain uses; for Comic Sans it's, well, for comics. At the very least it's for informal purposes. Using it in formal/business situations is like playing pop music at a funeral - it just throws the mood off entirely. A formal report shouldn't have any kind of font that draws attention to itself and away from the content of the report.

All through high school and university every teacher/prof has repeatedly told me to use Times New Roman as a font. I would think, if it's the same for everyone, that it would be pretty common knowledge not to use Comic Sans...

why use Comic Sans? are you working for a lemonade stand? no? THEN DON'T DO IT!

In my collage courses i found out that comic sans increases font size so when using size 12 font on a 10 page paper you dont need to write as much, generally making a poorly done or incomplete paper. Or any documents for that matter

I think he got pranked by his coworkers, that's why they where snickering...

#38 no i think they were sniggering at his stupidity for using comic sans

he said he had to write the whole thing again so I'm guessing he said that

#105, I think the confusion is in the wording of the FML, he states "I had to do the whole thing again". He probably just meant reformatting with the new font but it reads like he redid the whole report. What a silly billy, must be why he likes Comic Sans.

The FML said he had to write "the whole thing again". Read before you critique.

When writing a comic perhaps.

I make comics for a living and there's nothing we hate more than comics who use comic sans, there's SO MANY other better fonts for it

I'm sure there are many better ones now, but Comic Sans is an old font. It was originally designed for comics when there weren't a lot of other fonts designed for that purpose.
