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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 went to a big job interview. As I walked in, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Other highlights include my voice cracking multiple times, sweating profusely and getting uncontrollable nervous giggling. The interviewer eventually stared at me in disbelief and asked if I was high. FML
Today, my boss made me give a presentation to several senior company officials about the serious financial losses our division has made this year. Barely an hour later, my boss had palmed all the blame off onto me and gotten me fired. FML
Today, I was at a big meeting at work. The CEO was reaming the hell out of us for our recent poor profits, when I accidentally let rip a vile fart. I was then subjected to a 10 minute tirade of abuse for "trying to be a funny man", and told that whatever small chance I had for a promotion is now gone. FML
Today, I was carrying a stack of paperwork at work, when my pen rolled off and onto the floor. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, a nearby co-worker, who's always hated me, accused me of putting on a show and sexually harassing him. He actually followed up by reporting me to HR. FML
Today, I was doing a presentation in front of my boss. On the last slide, someone had put a picture of a man's cock. I later found out it was my boss who did it. It was his "good reason" to fire me. 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, I gave my boss a gift card as a late birthday present, since I wasn't in the office on his actual birthday. He accused me of trying to bribe my way to a promotion, and suspended me on the spot. FML
Today, I was to give a business report to several important shareholders. Right at the start, I broke into a coughing fit, then got so nervous that I froze up. When I tried to excuse myself, I tripped over my own feet. I'm now facing demotion for making the company look bad. FML
Today, I tried to act confident at a work mixer by telling a funny story. Halfway through, I gestured too wildly and knocked an entire bowl of pretzels off the table. Everyone watched them scatter across the floor like confetti. I just kept talking. FML

Make sure to do this the next time your co-worker has to do a speech, then see how he feels about it

As much as it sucks, it's still pretty funny :p

With the OP's luck, he'll just get suspended for even longer.

If you're clean just have them test you!

They can't just suspend you on the SUSPICION of being high. I'd definitely protest that.

Totally, but make sure you don't get caught doing that. :)

I think it's time you act your age, not your shoe size

45- I think you should try not to be a ********... Just a suggestion

What else you can think of when you see a guy laughing and not knowing why, when you expect him to present a serious presentation
pickles1994 18
I don't know there's always other options. The boss could have simply told him to be quiet. Or just say his name in a serious voice would do it for most people. Would take his attention of his co workers face and back to his boss.

48 - there's only one improper use of the word (or any use of the word at all) from 40 up so its pretty clear to whom 40 is referring to. I hope I've cleared the confusion. Good day.

54, I had to thumb you up cause you played that way too perfectly

Is it not: Your type is both rare and annoying. Not "are". By the way, you forgot to capitalize A in "As."

58 - Take the fan blade out of your rectum. It was a joke made in good humour. Proper response would be "haha" or "hahaha", not a deep analysis of his reign on the english language.

You could have just stopped looking at your co-worker
MrBubblez98 13
It's not quite that easy...

It's like being in an assembly where your supposed to wear only black and a clown shows up. Hard not to have attention drawn to it

YDI for finding goofy faces that hilarious, especially at such a pivotal moment.
berichsoon 11
I agree, I can't understand why he kept looking at him and not ignore him.
berichsoon 11
Well, you try to avoid looking at them at least, not keep looking at the goofy faces and keep laughing

You shouldn't get that angry at him; he was just trying to relieve a little of your nervousness. He went about it the wrong way, true, but you can't hold it against him.

1 word: sabotage. If that was the co-worker's intention, it worked.

How is your username relevant?
