Please fire me. I work at a summer camp and was attacked by a five year old who ripped off the buttons on my shorts. I was on the ground and terrified to push him off me and hurt him or something. The counselor who pulled him off was sued and fired.

Please fire me. I was told by my District Manager that I couldn’t take a day off to go to my Grandmother’s funeral because it was a few days before Christmas, and “How close were you REALLY?” Company policy is two paid days - he said that he didn’t recognize that policy.

Please fire me. I work at a sushi restaurant and customers are always asking me this: “I don’t like anything that is raw and/or fish. Do you have anything on your menu without those items?”

Please fire me. I took pictures and created a post in an effort to sell one of our work trucks on the internet.  I was told to “get it on as many sites as possible”.  A day later - my boss told me to take them all down and that I should “reboot the internet” if I had to to make sure they were all gone.

Please fire me. I work as a dog walker and was just instructed by a new client today that she would be leaving out wet-wipes for me to use. When I asked what they were for, she told me every time her dog pooped or peed during the walk, I needed to wipe her clean. Like a human. Every time.

Please fire me. I was getting ready to have a very important meeting at work with two female coworkers, and my boss walked in and told us that he couldn’t decide who he would pick for ‘snog, marry, avoid’ out of the three of us. He then made up his mind up and told us.

Please fire me. The senior partner at our firm badgers us about meeting our billable hour requirement while our office manager wastes our time with passive aggressive “memos” about the refrigerator: “Seriously folks, let’s keep the refrigerator clean. You spill, you clean. The unclaimed food items circled in the attachment have been in the refrigerator for over a week.  Please throw out your old, dried up food. Join the effort to maintain a clean environment for your food.” I’m pretty sure we can find someone who doesn’t bill $240 an hour to throw away an old sandwich.
