Please fire me. I was told I could not wear a hoodie over my work uniform because I blended in with the customers and one of the managers couldn’t find me. I’ve been working here for over 2 years.

Please fire me. The power went out at work today, and my boss asked me if I could fix it. I thought he was joking—apparently he was serious. I’m a part-time secretary.  He’s a member of MENSA with a PhD.

Please fire me. I work as a cashier and in between two registers saw a small child peeing on the floor. I don’t get paid enough for this shit.

Please fire me. I work in customer service at a hotel and this is one of our busy seasons right now due to different team sports that have tourneys in the area. Our sales department knowingly oversells the hotel to get their commission rates higher thus earn more money. When guests check in and we don’t have rooms for them we get blamed for the problem and sales gets off scott free. Not only due we get yelled at by pissed off guests we also get yelled at by upper management.

Please fire me. I work at a California-style Mexican kitchen (closer to authentic Mexican food than Tex-Mex) and a woman yelled at me because she ordered three chicken tacos on corn tortillas, and was angry when they weren’t hard-shell. We don’t serve hard-shell tacos, and she was screaming at me trying to tell me that a corn tortilla is a hard shell and that we need to take it off the menu. I hope she drops them all over her car on the way home.

Please fire me. I work in a pet shop, and one of our fish was on his way out. We were about to open, and it’s bad for business if there are dead or dying animals in the tanks. When i told my pet care manager I was uncomfortable with just throwing him away and letting him suffocate in the trash, she told me to just “squeeze him until he stops looking at you.”

Please fire me. I work for a military base where all of the work is supporting the war fighter. My crew called me into a meeting to tell me I work too fast and too hard for a slow paced night shift and I am making them work too hard to keep up. I would take this as a compliment if they didn’t tell me “You’ll be written up if you continue to work so hard.”

Please fire me. I work in a restaurant as a busser. The other day, I was cleaning tables when I noticed a man watching me. He was doing it innocently enough, seeing as how his wife was sitting next to him.

After his wife left, however, the innocence of the situation left altogether. He was pointedly staring at my behind and my chest—not even making an attempt to hide it.

As I walked past his table, he slurred out, “Hey, sexy! Why don’t you do something useful and get me another beer!” 

As politely as possible, I said, “Your server will be able to take care of that for you.”

To which he responded, “Well, what if I want you to do it?”

I glanced at his server, who shrugged at me and gestured to the bar. Reluctantly, I brought the man his beer. As I leaned to put the beer on the table, he ran his hand up my thigh and rested it on my behind, slurring out, “Thank you, baby.”

I whipped around and slapped his hand away, warning him that if he ever touched me like that again, he would lose his hand.

He complained. I was written up. He got a free dessert.

Please fire me. I recently had a customer come into the store after ordering in drive thru, demanding a refund. Why? Because his (plain) sundae was cheaper than the sundaes with toppings on it. The price difference is 19 cents.
