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 fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML

Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML

Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. 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, my boss wrote me up for saying "pissed" in front of a client. This is the same boss who nearly pissed himself laughing when a client made an extremely off-color Holocaust joke a few weeks ago, in front of half the department. 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, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML

I'm sorry to hear that , perfect timing right before the holidays, I hate losers like that! Who think they can rule the whole earth . It certain that there's more to the reason why he fired you for, because you can't get fired for that lame excuse . Something is not right. You should talk to someone about what he did! And said , he really can't fire you because you remind him of his ex wife laugh . If your laugh was so terrible then why didn't he say it a long time ago. He's just scum of the earth . Who took his bad bay on you for some lame azz story . Hopefully you will find another job soon .

Maybe his wife laughs like a guy & he's secretly attracted to guys & doesn't want to get excited by your laugh..either way, that's wrongful dismissal...take his immature ass to court.

Call the labour board, that can easily be disputed and maybe get him fired

I'd like to hear his ex-wife's side of the story on their break up of their marriage.

Well at-least now you can look for a new job where you can laugh as you please. If your boss looses a good employee because of their laugh, that's his loss not youres.

It's a job, not a friendship. We don't know much about the guy, but he probably has large bills to pay every month and a mortgage and kids to feed. With the economy's current state, he's not guaranteed to score another job with the equal or better pay right away and he could very well fall into debt or have to make a lot of changes to his life. I'd say it IS his loss...
