Tell us about the funniest or strangest ways you've been fired. Or someone you know who's been fired over something silly! Vote as you read.
I'll start off with a friend of mine. He really isn't the most motivated person i know. SO being 19 and jobless i figured i would help him out and get him a job where i worked. Everything was fine, but coming up on his last day of his 3 month probation, something silly happened. We worked at a thrift store, and at the front was a bin for donations. Someone had donated Pikachu Christmas wrapping paper. I mean this was THE best wrapping i had ever seen. Green background, with pikachu wearing a Christmas hat and holding a candy cane. Grade A stuff. The roll itself had to have been 4 inches wide, length was the same as a normal thing of wrapping paper. I picked it up and declared how i was going to buy once it was out on the floor, and he looked at me and whispered '5 finger discount'. I laughed and walked away. There was no way ANYONE would be able to walk out with that and not get caught.
Well i was right. Apparently he had shoved them into his long winter coat, with them sticking out, and was caught on camera leaving work with them. He was fired the day before his probation was up. But hey i got myself 2 years worth of pikachu Christmas wrapping paper right ? LOL :D
Now it's your turn!
