Please fire me. I am not friends with my boss on Facebook (for good reasons), so he has his other employees who are friends with me on Facebook to show him my statuses. Then he gives me shit about them.

Please fire me. I’m a 5th grade teacher. One of my students decided that he didn’t want to do his homework, so he blatantly refused, insulted me, then ripped it up and threw it in my face.

When his mother came to discuss her son’s behavior, she told the principal that she wanted me fired for “upsetting her poor baby, and crushing his spirit with unthinkable amounts of homework.”

It was five math problems.

Please fire me. Last Christmas, one of the VPs in my office gave me a present. It was an old garden lamp full of dead bugs, dirt and cobwebs.  This year, she gave me a used scent stick diffuser. Does she think I can’t tell the difference between old and new?

Please fire me. A customer came into work the other day and yelled at me that our store was irresponsible for not telling her sooner that she wasn’t able to buy anything because she forgot her wallet at home. She then proceeded to yell that other stores can look up her paypal account. When I told her our registers didn’t have that technology, she got more frustrated and continued to yell at me and say it wasn’t fair that her daughter couldn’t get her outfit. When I apologized she just gave me a glare, asked for my name, and then walked out.

Please fire me. I work at a store that sells pop culture stuff, comics, CDs, etc. Some guy came in about a month ago and drops off a bag of DVDs to sell to us, standing by me to see if we could take anything. I reach in the bag to pull out what can best be described as VAMPIRE PORN. He saw my pride ribbon and asked, “Have you seen any of these beauties, honey?”

Please fire me.  This was the employee Christmas party: employees were asked to make cookies so all the managers could taste them for a cookie judging contest.  Hardly a party when we were asked to drop them off at the managers’ office before starting work.

Please fire me.  I work two jobs: one with ridiculous hours, offensive coworkers, base pay with no chance for a raise, no benefits or paid time off. And that’s not even the one that I loathe.

Please fire me. I work at a call center where people order sex toys. The other day I had a woman ask about how one particular vibrator worked. I said I didn’t know. She then asked me to take it into the bathroom and try it out, assuring me she could wait.

Please fire me. After Thanksgiving, some representatives from the Salvation Army came into the store and asked if they could leave a donation container for homeless children on our counter. My boss assured them it was fine. But as soon as they left, I watched her throw it in the trash as she complained about how the red color did not match the decor of the store. She called them a few days later and told them it was stolen.

Please fire me. I asked to quit my job a week before I go to college, so that I can pack and spend holiday time with my family. My boss said ‘Read my lips: that’s what weekends are for.’ I now have one day to pack all of my belongings before departing for college in January.
