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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

I don't know how old you are. But in my university biology II class it is cleary stated that and known that birds are indeed reptiles. It is something not commonly known by most people but the fact of the matter is, birds are reptiles.

Rule at work: never be the first one to laugh. If you are, whip out your cell and ask if your boss has seen the latest cat videos.

Hahaha! lol :P They could have been though! They are related to dinosaurs. But still, thinking birds are reptiles... Yeah, that's pretty bad X)

Birds actually are reptiles. There are so many bird nuts that make a huge deal out of them, so the scientific community essentially gave them their own class. Besides flight, birds are functionally identical to reptiles. My source is a college zoology course, not wikipedia.

They are descended from reptiles but are a separate species now, that of avians.

Actually birds are part of the clade Reptilia. So yes, they are reptiles technically.
