Kitty Litter
I was working in a little Amusement Park in Melrose Park, IL. At the time, I was 16, with my first job ever. I came to work on time, did everything I could possibly do, and even stay late after work to help out. One day I was talking to a couple of my friends at lunch, and I didn't realize that my boss came in. We were discussing what we thought of working at the amusement park. Clueless as I was about my bosses presence, I got up, and said that Kiddie Land should be named Kitty Litter because the place is a dump and BEEP BEEP BEEP. Everyone froze, and I slowly turned around to face my boss who was completely furious! And thats how I got fired. :)

Fruit that Gets You Fired
My brother used to work for a supermarket. On his first day of the job he decided he was a bit hungry so he grabbed a peach. Throughout the day he kept eating fruit from the store until his boss caught him. When asked where the fruit came from he replied 'the shop'. He was never rostered again from that day onwards.

Bad Day
I used to do concrete for a one armed asshole for minimum wage. One night a hot girl asked me on a date. When i called her, her boyfriend answered the phone and said she was going with him. I was I ended up getting a concussion from slamming my head on my steering wheel and making my best friend punch me in the face. I took so much pain relief pills after that i started to hallucinate. Then i whent to work and wanted to go home because i didnt feel good. The gimpy bastard said if i went home i wouldnt get paid for the prior three days. I told him to fuck himself and took off doing donuts in his customers yard.

One afternoon I had an employee call me and tell me the police were on their way to arrest him for breaking and entering, that was his last day....

Car Trouble
I was having trouble getting to work, so my manager told me he used to be a mechanic and he would fix my car. Well $250 later, i was driving to pick up my boyfriend from work, not even 30 miled away, it breaks. So my father took me to work the next morning demanding the money back. When that didnt go over well he called my manger a one legged cow milkin hippy, needless to say, i was fired and $ 250 dollars poorer. :(

my ex husband passed away, .my two daughters were devistated, one daughter was getting married the same month .. My uaw job fired me for exceeding point allowable. i couldnt get berievment pay because we were not married anymore. I lost my job of 5 years due to death in family.

Bathroom Break
I got fired for having sex in the freezer at Taco Bell. Business was slow that day so me and a fellow co-worker decided to take a "break" in the freezer while our manager and another employee went on break. When we went to come back out, we realized we were locked in and had to sit in there for another 15 minutes before the manager had come and found us. It was pretty obvious what we had been doing. We were both fired on the spot. It was cold, but worth it.

The Latte Wench
It was just an ordinary day at your local Starbuck's in Columbus, Ohio. I had been working there for about 4 months, when this incident took place. A fellow co-worker and I were talking about his former boyfriend while making lattes and specialty coffee drinks for our customers. Nothing out of the ordinary happend until this a-hole of a woman asked for my manager and told her that talking about homosexuality was immoral and it offended her! It p-ed me off! But i needed the job. I needed the money. But i could not just ler her get away like that. Had it been any straight person she would not have said anything at all. I was the one who was offended. So i look at her and (asked nicely by the way) asked "Why does it offend you?" My boss looked at me.....then the customer.....and i was out the door! i was fired! oh well...i am at a better paying job now and im an assistant manager now ^_^
