I want to hear your (preferably real) reasons you got fired.

    Only once when I was young and it only lasted 4 hours.

    I was at a LAN party and slept in as you do on the floor of my friend’s basement. I had forgotten entirely about an opening shift I had taken that Sunday morning at the pizza joint I worked at.

    I woke up to multiple missed calls and a voicemail saying if I didn’t show up in a couple hours, don’t bother showing up again.

    I showed up anyways and apologised. Got my job back and boss clearly felt bad for firing me for a single fuckup in the heat of the moment. So he also gave me a raise instead of firing me for “having the balls to show up again” as he put it.

    ¯\(ツ)/¯ A whole 25 cents!! Nice.
