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.

This how I see it: Birds were linked to reptiles by scientists, but it does not mean they are reptiles. They are still birds, feathery and delicous when fried.

Birds are actually now classified as reptiles.

You can't get fired for your boss being an idiot. If you do get fired, you could sue for wrongful termination.

Dinosaurs were more closely related to birds then reptiles. Just throwing that out there.

If birds were reptiles then why do they have, oh, I don't know, maybe feathers, they fly, they don't crawl... Their origin lies in reptiles, but the birds are birds.

You realize there are a slew of feathered dinosaurs, right? Say, perhaps ALL of Theropoda? (at least they suspect most of them may have had at least the beginning of feathers, and more of them are starting to show evidence of such plumage, perhaps even the Tyrannosaur itself)... Locomotion is a different story. Just because the birds have adapted to a life in the air doesn't mean they aren't a derived form of Reptilia. Just look at a few of the similarities present among the two groups: sclerotic rings, hollow bones, modified ankles, and so on...

He can't fire you for his ignorance.

Technically speaking birds ARE a type of reptile... Your boss wasn't so far off with that question!
