We had one bloke we worked with who would constantly steal sweets, crisps, drinks, ANYTHING from your workbench on his way through. He'd do it straight in front of you so we agreed that as my workbench was at the very end of the line, the next time we saw him coming down the workshop, we'd put our crazy plan into action...
We decided to 'gun drill' a Locket. (Its a hard cased sweet with liquid honey centre). I sucked the liquid out of the middle and we filled it with superglue, wrapped it back up and stuck it back into the top of the packet.
We saw this guy coming down the workshop and everyone had cleared their benches of sweets, so to get his fix, he HAD to stop at my bench.
Except that whilst we were all intently looking the other way, the line manager came in through the door at the other end of the unit, and having flu up to the eyeballs decided to eat one of MY lockets. (He'd had about six off me at various stages earlier in the dayand knew where they were). He obviously took the one we had doctored to teach this other guy a lesson.
He bit into it and super glue squished into his mouth. I don't know if you have ever seen superglue mixed with water but apparently, it burns and is extremely distasteful.
The manager disappeared and came back about half an hour later, furiously angry and six of us got sacked that day.
I can't believe how stupid we were. What if he had swallowed it!?
Dumbest thing I have EVER been involved in, let alone got fired for.

My job had a set of clear cut objectives. Then my boss expanded them;l tried to comply but was unable to. He fired me. This was a summer job deliverying flowers : I was told I would be delivering only to funeral homes and hospitals, suddenly he decided to expand my route and I am not from around here. I could not deliver some roses and he fired me. Thank God he was the most in need of psychiatric help I have ever seen.

My first job (16 years old) was for McDonald’s. I had only been working there for a couple of months, when Spring Break came along. Now, to be sure, I was sick. I wasn’t faking it…as my narration will show you. I called in on a Tuesday night and told them that I was sick and couldn’t make it in to work. Everyone at my work came from the same school system, and my boss knew that it was Spring Break for us. He denied my sick time and told me to come and or be fired.
Like an idiot…I went in to work. About 45 minutes into my shift…with dinner rush gearing up and 12 burgers on the grill in front of me, I got sick. I got sick on the grill…and cooked my puke. It was sudden, over quick…but the smell lingered on.
Needless to say, dinner rush was over.
My boss fired me and I went home to be sick in my bed…where I wanted to be in the first place. That is the weirdest firing that I ever experienced.

Touchy subject for me. I've only been fired once and it was my last job, which I loved. I came back from sick leave and they wanted to keep the temp that replaced me while I was out. She was young, single and partied with them after work. I did none of the above. She was also working for quite a bit less than me. So they fired me for not playing well with others, after 3 years of perfect reviews. Go figure.

Okay, this is a true story; one of my first jobs was at Sir Georges Royal Buffet ( makes Luby's look swank) in Mesa, AZ. Anyway, I was a busgirl and a kitchen prep. One day they asked me to mix up the carrot/raisin salad which came in industrial size cans. I took one look at it and was grossed out and said no way. I also refused to touch any beets. So I was fired for not following orders, but I really didn't care. I was 15.

I worked at Claires, and my 15 yr old cousin was with me, well my boss caught us and fired me because of "fire laws" (I had her in the store with the gate down), not because I had my cousin in the store after closing. It's okay, she's (my ex boss) 63, her teeth are rotting out of her mouth and she's still working at Claires. I took up the opportunity and went to college.

She's a prostitute so its her interest to be candy and stunning... its not they are in basic terms meant to stroll in there, bang you and get out without be conscious. the completed component of intercourse is that its in intimate journey... so please dont be fooled by potential of her "sweetness" And did you comprehend that seventy 5% of strippers and prostitues get accompanied around and stalked and stuff? You sound such as you're transforming into a stalker your self... provide up on being one in all those dummy and get your self a actual woman!

Ive been fired once and it was because I was best friends with the receptionist whom was fired. They thought I might have a negative attitude towards the company.

I called off sick on MLK day, and since none of the black guys worked that day (even though it wasn't an official company recognized holiday) I got fired... that was at UPS back in the mid '80's....

The boss's secretary didn't like me. I don't know why, since I was really nice and polite to her, but she just took a dislike to me and made my life a misery. She waited until he was out of town on business and then typed up a memo firing me and put his signature on it. I heard from coworkers that she told him I quit.
