"I just completed and questionnaire via e-mail for a JOB and accidentally hit the send + mic drop button!!!" another said. "I have been interviewing with this company for 3 months now and mistakenly sent the email directly to guess who? The HR!" "This mic drop is perhaps the most stupid thing you could possibly come up with," complained one user. Many on Google's product forums aren't laughing, especially those who use Gmail for work. But with a billion people using Gmail each month, even a small misfire is a big problem. The animation was funny enough for people who want to joke around. Google removed the joke button and apologized after it started causing problems for people. Mute is a longtime feature of Gmail that hides conversations you don't want to follow and prevents future responses from showing up in your inbox.

GOOGLE MIC DROP PRANK MOVIE
The joke button would insert into the email message an animation of a character from the movie "Minions" dropping a microphone - a gesture to show you've gotten the last word in an exchange - and then would mute the email conversation. That's what Google learned when it placed a joke "drop the mic" button right next to Gmail's regular "send" button as an April 1 gag. When you operate the most widely used email service in the world, you'd better be really, really careful with April Fools' jokes that change how it works.
