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

Unless you work at a funeral home, I really don't see anything wrong with being happy

Tone down the little ms sunshine shirts. Did you know that most serial killers are generally very happy people to the general public

That might be a generalization. I think many of them concealed their sociopathic tendencies and seemed 'normal' and 'well-adjusted' even though they were actually batshit insane in their basements making dead lady skin suits. Who ever sees THAT coming? "I just had a feeling Fred was frying brains next door."

There's a fine line between very happy and crazy.

4, That's how they disperse any feeling of suspicion people might have against them. If they were a person you might suspect of being capable of murder, they wouldn't last long enough outside the bars to commit enough murders to qualify for being a serial killer. It just has to be the person you'd never think would do it.

At least you didn't sigh, they would've fired you for anger issues

Killers also tend to have high self esteem.

I don't get it. Either OP is one of those really annoying people who sticks right in everyones face when he/she's happy, or OP's boss and coworkers just don't like being happy...

Apply to be a clown. Problem solved:)

20- there are sad clowns though
ShroomsOnAcid 17
Wasn't there a clown/funeral director on some show? I swear that mix sounds familiar.

76- It was on The Nanny, Fran was dating a funeral director and he told her he wanted to quit and go to 'clown school'. Ok, I've watched that show way too much.

happy gay happy or happy cheerful happy?
BellaBelle_fml 23
Gee, I wonder which it could be?
syki 22
Well, gay and 'gushy' would probably be appropriate grounds for firing.
BellaBelle_fml 23
Being gay or gushy are not grounds for firing someone. Especially being gay. That's just prejudice and that's grounds for a lawsuit.
ihasbrains 10
74 - There is another definition of 'gay' that is not as commonly used anymore. And that would be 'happy' in a very gleeful and cheerful way. Not gay as in homosexual.
Lexiebear27 10
I wrote perky but FML changed it to gushy.
inpuredeceit 14
I work with someone who is so freaking chipper. I have NEVER seen her frown, or not be smiling. In all honesty, it's the most annoying thing I have ever seen.
_streets_ 19
I understand that, I work with someone who is always just a little to nice and cheerful. It does creep me out sometimes, and their laugh, holy shit, when they are really happy, she sounds like a screaming cat.
inpuredeceit 14
Wow... I think that's worse than the girl I work with. It drives me insane, we'll be having a terrible day and we're super busy, and she's just smiling away.
Supahnova 14
#7, would you rather work with miserable, grumpy assholes all day? Honestly, what's wrong with someone being /genuinely/ happy at work all of the time?
inpuredeceit 14
I'm fine with people being cheery or happy. In your face, bubbly and peppy? No thanks.
docscientist 10
Why is it either/or, 58? And nobody is genuinely happy all the time. Either end of the spectrum is annoying as hell.
rebekahah 7
Smiley people are okay to a certain extent. It really starts to bug me, though, when their smiles are all smug just kind of saying "ha-ha I'm happy and you're not"
je_suis_fml 11
miserable *****... smh
ikickgingers 15
I punch people like you in the ****.

That's what you get for being happy at work. Don't you know you're suppose to be miserable with your life? Shame on you.
