Ever Been Fired From a Job?! We Bet You Can’t Beat These Side-Splitting Stories From 55 Twitter Users
High as a Kite
We thought everyone understood that it isn’t okay to consume intoxicants during a work day, except when such substances are needed for medical purposes. ButValeire didn’t get that memo.
She was high out of her mind when she showed up to work and decided she didn’t feel like doing anything. She was also brave enough to walk up to her supervisor and announce that she wouldn’t be working that day. Is anyone surprised that Valerie soon joined the unemployment line?

Sleeping In
The main idea of work is that a person is hired to perform some duties and then gets paid for the effort. But some people are simply not up to the task. Or at least, they feel it’s more worthwhile to lay in bed all day and enjoy a restful nap.
In keeping up with the trending #WhyIGotFired hashtag, Saldana revealed that he got fired for not showing up to work. Isn’t that the most shocking news you’ve ever heard?!
Playing Pretend
A Twitter user was working at a furniture store once when he was inspired to play a game of pretend. Like the games children play but on a much grander scale. Following that sudden burst of inspiration, he pretended to be a manager and laid off two employees.
Drunk on his newfound yet nonexistent power, he gave three other employees a raise. But his fantasy world came crashing down when the actual manager showed up and gave him the sack.
All Hail the King
Not everyone will get along with their co-workers, and that’s okay. But there’s one line that should never be crossed. And that’s making a higher-up the brunt of your jokes. One Twitter user learned that lesson the hard way.
Everyone at work had given their CEO the nickname “King Idiot,” and it had become somewhat of an inside joke. But it wasn’t so funny when the CEO overheard someone calling him by that name. As expected, someone lost their job immediately.
Sword Fight at Old Navy
Old Navy is one of the oldest clothing retailing companies in America. Of course, clothing isn’t the only thing the multinational corporation offers to the public. A visit to any of their outlets would prove as such.
One thing you wouldn’t find, though, is a couple of employees sword-fighting with the arms of the mannequins. Because if Walton is to be believed, their manager wasn’t too happy the last time he discovered footage of two employees play-fighting within the store.
Panera Boxing Matches
Many of the stories in our stash are from employees who were trying to have fun at work. Sadly, those in charge didn’t share their sense of humor. Take Bake Ross, for example. Their story is one of the funniest on this list.
The way the story goes, Ross formed the habit of putting bread bowls on his hands and having “bread bowl boxing matches” with another cashier. Is it surprising that Panera didn’t take too kindly to such antics?
