Please fire me. I started to make a pizza for a customer who ended up cancelling his order, but saved the blank pie I’d just made in case someone ordered in the next few minutes (they aren’t good for long). An hour and a half later, we get an order, and my boss tells me to use the blank I’d forgotten to throw away. I warn him of how old it is, and he tells me food cost is more important, it’s not my job to think, just use it. I do. The customer, who also ended up being the CEO of the franchise ordering incognito, said it was the worst pizza he ever received, and my boss blamed me to his supervisor, who had a came to the store to shout at me.

Please fire me. I had a customer write his number in the tip line instead of an actual tip.

Please fire me. Today I asked a patient to write the medicaid number from his card onto his form and he literally wrote “The Medicaid Number.”

Please fire me. A lady came in screaming and ranting how we wrote an obscene insult on her sandwich. Turns out she ordered a BLT with cheese. We wrote Blt +ch on it. It took me and a manager 15 minutes just to calm her down enough to even listen to us.

Please fire me. Since I have minor problems with multitasking and hyperfocusing, all my bosses and coworkers have come to the correct conclusion that I’m autistic, and the incorrect one that I am a r****** because of it, and therefore stupid. I’ve achieved perfect and near-perfect scores on national tests and am attending one of the “Public Ivys” in the fall, despite already completing higher education once.

Also, I’m twenty-one, not sixteen. Just because I look young doesn’t mean whenever there’s a problem I need to “go talk to my mother about it to make sure I understand, okay sweetie?”

Please fire me. Every morning the pilgrimage to the metro starts with an empty stomach and a march alongside thousands of equally condemned lemmings and eunuchs of a working fate. Like zombies praying for death, thousands of people march through the station with faces exuding expressions of hopes and dreams that had been murdered by life.

And here’s my real problem, the goddamn law office I worked in. It was the largest law firm in the country. And no, I am not a lawyer. I was a PR and internal communications Director at my age of 27. It is the most bulls#*t profession I can imagine. It’s basically selling other people’s vanity at the expense of your time, effort and nerves. Those buggers at the top were never in the office to give me the information I needed to promote them and their frickin’ company, nobody cared to explain what they even wanted and every effort I made at initiative was rewarded with accusatory glances of “Why the hell are you working?”

When initiative in the professional field is not being rewarded, but scolded and frowned upon, all that remains is to beg to be fired.

Please fire me. I’ve started working as a waiter 4 years ago with no experience at all. After 3 years I wanted to learn to draw on coffee. It took me 1 year to learn everything from YouTube, but now I can make some really good latte art, and I love it.

Then one day my boss told that I’m not allowed to do any latte art because this is not what other coffeo shops have, so neither will we. Isn’t it better when your worker wants to be better? Isn’t it better that you have something that others in coffee shops don’t have?

Please fire me. I’m the only female on the sales side working at an exotic car dealership and ever single day EVERY SINGLE DAY I have some greasy looking guy leaning on my desk asking me if I come with the car as if he’s so smooth for coming up with that pick up line.

Please fire me. I work in shoe store and a lady bought water shoes with drainage holes in the soles to let water out if you walk in the sea. She brought them back six months later complaining that they let water in when she treads in puddles.
