Liar Liar
Well one day i was at work, nothing to do and there were barely any customers in the store. I got bored so I started straightening everything and picked out stuff i wanted to buy. I didn't have any cash and there was a sale going on and ended that day and I had to close that night so I called my boyfriend and told him to come up and get the stuff for me. Well he also picked out a couple pairs of boxers and I logged in as a co-worker so I could get my 20% discount on the stuff. Management found out all about it. Theytook me into the office with men i didn't even know and the told me nothing bad was going to happen and after we talked I could go back to work. They asked me if I had done anything I knew was wrong. Well i am not going to lie because obviously they already know. So I told all about what I had did. and they fired me. They lied to me! When i told the truth. Oh well better off without them. Rude people.

Got'cha
I used to be an exotic dancer back when I lived in Miami. I had to do a gig one night that went horribly wrong. It was a bachelorette party for...big women! I refused to do the job and went back home. My boss got a complaint the next day and called me into his office. After much discussion, I was fired. What he didn't know was that I am an active member of one of the most powerful underground crime organizations on the eastern seaboard. So I had my boss and his whole family killed and any record of their existence terminated. Cause I'm good like that!

Men and Mexicans
Well, I was working as a waitress for about a month. The woman who owned the resturaunt, had just moved here from Mexico. Well noone came into her little bitty place but the origional mexican people. And not many of them could speak english. Well I couldn't speak spanish. After 3 weeks of trying and failing, I was fired. Because I let my boyfriend come eat there one time. She told me that day, that I was fired because if my boyfriend were to come up there, I couldn't flirt with the customers. HA

It was worth it
There are times in life when a mistake makes you want to curl up and die. Then there are those mistakes that you were so proud to make that you will trumpet them to anybody that will listen.
This is one of the latter:
When I was 17 years old, I got my first job at a small amusement park. The pay was crappy, the patrons were assholes, but after the park closed at 11 pm, the workers were allowed to ride the rides free of charge for as long as they wanted (we would all be up until 2am if not later).
I ha dbeen working there most of the summer and we had just closed the park down to the patrons when the girl who runs the merry-go-round came up to me and asked if I would ride with her on a few rides. I didn't know her well, but, I had never had anything remotely resembling a girlfriend before, and she was as hot as they come, so of course I agreed. We went on a roller coaster or two, and then she brought me over to the ferris wheel. We got into the cart, started going up, and, when we got a quarter of the way up, she grabbed my head and started making out with me. By the second turn of the wheel, we were both all but naked and she was sitting on me and riding for all she was worth (you never forget your first time, do you?). We were fairly lost in the moment, but we were aware of the fact that there were cars honking on the road right by us, and every time we swung to the bottom of the wheel, people would cheer at us.
Well, the ride stopped before we were both finished and the guy running it opened the door on us before we could get our clothing back on.
So, we are both standing (for all intents and purposes) naked in this ferris wheel cart, frantically pulling our clothes on when who walks up? Yep, the boss. He saw me first and started laughing and mentioned that he wondered why all the cars were honking. I thought I was off scott free (I got laid AND I keep my job), but then his eye fell on the girl (whose name I never did find out) and he just stops and starts opening and closing his mouth like a fish. My recent conquest peeks out from behind me and sheepishly whispered, "Hi daddy..."
Let's just say that I'm lucky my job was th eonly thing I lost...I'm sure that had a sharp instrument been handy, I might have been half the man I am today *grins*, but DAMN was it worth it!

Summer Camp
I was hired to work at a childrens summer camp at their "ski slope", which consisted of a large wooden ramp with some "skiiers grass" on it (It's a fiber-type carpet material that professional skiiers use in the summer for practicing jumps...jumps, not turns). Anyways, I get there the day before camp starts to inspect the area and make sure there will be enough skis and boots for the kids (who ranged from ages 6 to 11). I took one look at the construct and told the boss that it was not a good idea to try to teach kids how to ski on it. He told me that they had been doing it for years and that I didn't know what I was talking about (never mind that I was and am a fully certified ski instructor). Well, first day, I am hesitant to let anybody on the damn thing, lest a kid get hurt and then I get blamed, so I made a big show of fitting them all for ski-boots and such. By the second day, however, I had no choice, and had to let the kids start "skiing".
Well, the first kid climbs up, I get her into her boots and skis, give her some basic directions on how to wedge, and off she goes with me running alongside, just in case something happens. It happened all right.
When this poor girl got 1/4 of the way down the slope, her skis stopped dead but she kept going and she pulled a double-hele release from the bindings and slid the rest of the way down on her face. When this happens on a ski-slope, the snow may cut up a person a little, but mostly it's just snow up the nose. On this carpeted material...well...every see "Silence of the Lambs" when Hannibal Lecter wears the guys face as a mask? Yeah...it was worse. Her face was a bloody mess, so I told the one assistant I had to not let anybody else on the ramp and hurried the girl off to the nurses office. From there, I got to take her to the hospital because the nurse couldn't leave and I seemed to be a "responsible adult" (20 years old!).
Well, three hours in the emergency room and over 150 stitches in the girls face later, I bring the girl back to camp and pass her off to her (very relieved) parents, who immediatly turn around and threaten me with a lawsuit. I argue that it is not my fault the camp expects their facilities to be conducive to teaching a sport that is reserved for the winter and if they have a problem, then to bring the lawsuit against the camp and I will gladly testify that I said it was unsafe.
The next day, when I go in, the boss calls me into his office and tells me that they are letting me go. When I asked for a reason, I was told that, "It is inappropriate for a counseler to leave with a camper, no matter what the reason."
The real kicker is that I was replaced almost immediatly, and the new guy ended up with so many accidents from the ski area that the camp now THINKS it may not be safe for the kids to be skiing on that damn ramp. I hope they are fielding daily lawsuits.

make sure your boss likes you
I got fired today for the first time ever. Here are the reasons my boss gave me: 1)my daily sales report was messy 2)i hit the wrong numbers on the register when nervous (even though i never actually charged anyone wrong). She actually said I was good at making drinks and nice to people, but apparently being good at the real parts of my job don't matter that much. I mean, I got the vibe that she didn't like as much as other people, but firing? it was ridiculous

Oh Crap
Once I had a terrible stomach ache and really had to go #2 ASAP. I was doing the graveyard shift at a grocery store and no one was there but me and four other people, so during my break I dashed to the toilet. Unfortunately for me, a customer entered the bathroom about the same time my stomach ache was transferring itself out my butt. She complained, and I was fired. That was so embarrassing!
