What is your most amusing work experience that has led to your getting fired?
Of all my firings my favorite is this: I was working at a Buffalo Wild Wings, tending bar. A younger looking guy wandered in with his girlfriend and I ID'd him. He raised a stink after I had ascertained he was indeed 23 years old. I thanked him and was back to work. A few minutes later he started some foul cursing in my general direction so I politely said I would take no abuse and he would have to leave. I got him to the door and he demanded to see a manager. I quickly went to the office and apprised the manager of the situation. He agreed with my action but still had to speak with the guy. He wanted a refund and an apology. Without skipping a beat I said, "You can suck an apology out of my d*&k." My manager could barely contain his giggles as he walked the guy out and told me afterward, "You know I have to fire you now, right?" Can anyone beat that?

Answer 1 :
i used to work at a non-profit community center as a youth leader. I got fired because I told the CEO that the other youth were looking at porn, having sex, and bringing weapons to the youth space of the center. I also told him that the youth program coordinator invited all of the youth, even the underage ones, to his birthday party, and told them that it was ok to drink there. Everyone turned against me. apparently majority rules, and even the CEO wanted to keep those dirty little secrets. so i was not allowed back in the youth program.
Answer 2 :
LOL good story. This isn't about me, but about a former co-worker. We worked at a place where there was a form you had to fill out to request time off, or describe what sort of leave you were using if you were sick/played hooky. We had to pass this along to our supervisor for approval and then he would have to pass that along to the big kahunas for even more approval. It was just one of the many bureaucratic stunts that this company pulled on a regular basis. So, this guy gets into a huge screaming match with his supervisor. Lots of cursing, big tempers, no rational thinking. The supervisor ends the fight by walking out. The guy takes the form and fills it out like this: Name: Steve the carpenter Days of: ALL OF THEM Reason: I hate this f#@*&#$ job and all your s^@%. I QUIT! He leaves it on boss's desk and never came back again.
