Please fire me. Tongs that are used to handle customers’ food are dropped on the floor every 5 seconds and when I go to wash them, my coworkers tell me, “Don’t worry man, it’s McDonald’s, not some five-star restaurant.”

Please fire me. I work at a moderately fancy hotel in the South.  During one of the hottest days of this summer, a large sweaty woman handed me her room keys, that she kept in her breasts.

Please fire me. I work at a factory, doing the same action for 12 hours a day. Last week my boss told me that if he was doing my job, he would consider killing himself.

Please fire me. I’ve avoided Facebook for years because I don’t trust my family not to embarrass me. My job just forced me to get a Facebook account under my own name as part of our social media push. Within three days, my cousin found me. Within a week, I was being tagged in drunken photos I wasn’t even involved in, and things were being posted on my wall that my gynecologist would be uncomfortable with. My manager just gave me a warning about representing the company and learning to use social media responsibly. I’ve just finished blocking all my family and Googling how to divorce blood relatives.

Please fire me. Apparently, saying that people shouldn’t use the word “retarded” as an insult makes me “childish” and “selfish.”

Please fire me. I work in a restaurant and the kitchen staff complained to the manager that it was 113 degrees in the kitchen and it was unbearable to work in. His response? “Some people pay good money to go somewhere for that hot.”

Please fire me. I had the following conversation with my boss today:

Boss: “Why didn’t you ask me to order this?”

Me: “Because it doesn’t sell.”

Boss: “You should’ve told me anyway.”

Me: “You yell at me when I order things that don’t sell and now you’re yelling at me for not ordering things that don’t sell.”

Boss: “Jeff, you should’ve learned by now, I’m going to yell at you regardless.”
