Worst April Fool's Jokes →[More:]In high school I worked sweeping up in a cabinet factory. One day the head guy calls a meeting at the end of the shift. He announces that the head office had decided to close the plant, starting in two weeks.

Dead silence. Then one guy starts moaning about paying his bills but somebody else starts to chuckle. Nobody who had obligations thought it was funny but I did.

What's the worst AF joke you've experienced?

Not a joke, but I had a close friend commit suicide on April Fools Day. Consequently, every person his room mate called to inform them of his passing thought it was a prank (albeit cruel and not funny), including the guy's family.

Knowing my friend, this was more than coincidence, and he thought this was hi-LAR-ious timing on his part.

Someone I really disliked was born on April Fool's Day. I thought it was poetically appropriate.
