Please fire me. My coworkers spend at least the first 45 minutes of every work day spoiling every single show on tv they can think of. I haven’t been surprised by anything on any show for the past 2 years. I literally canceled my cable subscription.

Please fire me. I work as an overnight camp counselor and spent a week counselling a cabin of exactly 2 little girls. One of them was literally named Ocean and yet had a phobia of all things water and swimming related. The other girl, her sister, was also scared of swimming.

If all that irony wasn’t enough, seeing as we were on a lake and most activities were in the water, it made my job a bit frustrating. I eventually talked them into trying out the shallow end of our swimming pool, but shortly after they hopped in they ended up clinging to the ladder of the pool screaming to get out. Of course, they didn’t want any of the counselors or lifeguards to actually lift them out, so they ended up clinging to the ladder for almost 15 minutes screaming while we tried to get them to let go.

Please fire me. The other day while I was on the cash register I was ringing through this woman’s purchase (which was just a cat toy). She was going on and on about how crazy her ‘kitten’ was and sometimes unmanageable, to which I just laughed along… you know the old small talk. Anyways, as she was leaving and I handed her her change she looked me dead in the eyes and said, “No one ever told me that kittens become cats.”

Please fire me. I work as a sales associate and fitting room attendant at a very large location of a chain retail store, and the number of unsupervised children that are running around the store every day is enormous. Recently, I was fixing clothes on a rack, and something collided very hard with my legs – and that something turned out to be a child running under the clothes racks with no parent in sight. Also, there have been incidents of children actually knocking down the racks of clothes in a domino effect.

No kids have gotten hurt yet, but my guess is that myself and my coworkers will get blamed by the parents in question when a kid does get hurt. Because of course, I get paid minimum wage to watch your kids for you.

Please fire me. I work at McDonald’s and last week I spent 15 minutes trying to explain to an old man they we do not sell hot dogs (McDogs as he claimed it) then he threatened to report me for “withholding products from him”!

Please fire me. On Friday, a lady placed a catering order for well over $1000. Today, she brought all the food back and demanded a refund. We asked, “Was there something wrong with the food? Is anyone sick?” We’re very concerned with food quality here. “No,” she said, “No one came to my party.”

Please fire me. I work the overnight shift at a very well-known gym (you know which one) and last night I had to kick out a member for washing a raw chicken in the locker room sink. And to think, my direct manager (who ironically quit 3 weeks ago to become a cop) told me the job would be like being a bouncer at a club. Ha!

Please fire me. I work as a barista and today someone ordered a long black hotter than boiling water.  Is that even possible?
