# "I went to a work function, drank too much, fell down the stairs, knocked myself unconscious, ambulance was called, taken to hospital. Woke up the next day in hospital with a roaring hangover/headache and a fractured skull. Got sacked Monday! Such is life."
# "My boss came to work wearing straight legged black jeans with RM Williams. Turns out he was going to some investment seminar. This is a man who was pushing 60. Anyway I sent an email to my friend telling her that my boss looked like he was entering a Johnny Cash line dancing competition. His daughter who was the receptionist intercepted the email, told her dad about it, I got called into his office the day after the seminar and was fired."
# "My boss was an insane Irish git who, after he heard me use the phrase ‘bang for your buck’, called me into his office and closed the mini vertical blinds (something he never did) and proceeded to tell me that he had no idea what that phrase meant only that it was surely offensive and that he was sick and tired of me using phrases designed to belittle him and that I was free to leave as soon as I could find another job."
# "I was fired for attending my grandfather’s funeral. I gave them four days notice of the funeral but they said I didn’t give them enough notice. How much notice did they expect? He passed away five days before the funeral."
# "I was sacked once for having an affair with the fiancee of my boss and once for having an affair with the wife of my boss … not bad for a tubby bald bloke."
