17+ Moments That Made Us Go ‘Someone’s Getting Fired’

I’ll never claim to have been perfect and amazing at every job I’ve done. From my first jobs in high school to the work I do now, I’ve made plenty of mistakes.

However, some people make mistakes that are a little too big to be forgiven, and we all get to sit back and watch, knowing someone’s getting fired for this.

Now’s not the time.

“You’ve been on break all day and now you just messed up our work. Good thing you’re cute, or you’d be outta here.”

“I got 3st!”

If you placed an impossible rank, does that mean you did super well or very, very badly?

Grade A security.

“I promise, no one’s gonna get into this lot without a ticket.”

“Yeah? And how do you think this will stop them?”

“Okay, I get it, it doesn’t block their car, but I’m hoping it’ll work on an honor system.”

“Maintenance is in no hurry.”

Surely they have more important things to do, like ignoring at least half of the other maintenance requests that come through.

“My colleagues, ladies and gentlemen.”

This is a worse offense than an actual work mistake. If these are your coworkers, you need to find a new job.

“So there was a bit of a misunderstanding regarding placement.”

I love that they still hung it up. A print error will not come in the way of Tucker’s party!

“We now have a permanently installed extension chord.”

At least they’re handy? Not ideal, but there are worse things to have as a permanent feature.

“Amateur carpenter didn’t use anchors to hang up cabinets.”

This is the one on this list that actually makes me mad. This is why you hire professionals, everyone.

“This sign my roommate saw at the airport.”

What.

(I wanted to leave the caption as just that, but I felt bad for only writing one word and acting like that was a complete job, so here’s more.)

“My note on the cheese fries said: extra cheese on the side.”

Not to be that guy, but this is technically right. Just throw some fries in it and wrap it up like a burrito.

“Local job posting.”

Finally, a job that will appreciate my years’ experience in learning sarcasm.

“Pretty sure that’s supposed to be on a label, not the dessert.”

Mmm, nothing like the taste of ink to really top off a dessert.

“I guess they decided to include the cutter as a premium topping.”

It’s a new promotion where if you cut your own pizza, you get to keep the roller!

Happliday Hoys!

Can we please replace Happy Holidays with Happliday Hoys? It keeps making me laugh. It’d really get me in the holiday spirit.

“I can almost guarantee it said ‘Libary’ before someone caught it and they added the R in the middle.”

The important thing is that it absolutely doesn’t say that. Does it look objectively worse? Yes, but that’s not the point.

A tall (money) order.

This is one way to keep your finances in check. Can’t spend your money if you can’t take any out!

These are the weirdest bunnies I’ve ever seen.

They’re long, they don’t jump, they can’t even eat carrots! What kind of bunny is this?

This can only end well.

I know you’re racing to get to that dollar tree, but beware of the false arrows, they might lead you astray.

“Just finished making rice crispy treats to share at work!”

This one won’t get you fired because it’s wrong or a mistake, but because it’s just…weird. It’s weird.

A friendly reminder.

The customer is always right until they’re really, really not.

“I ordered ice cream with a cone.”

A weird way to word it, sure, but they should have known. At least they gave the cone its own little plate.

“First day at the new job, saw this on my bosses door.”

Well…what can I say besides I wish you good luck. I think you’ll need it.

All roads lead to…wall.

This one took me a minute to understand, but the fault here is that the driveway doesn’t lead to the garage. Like, at all. They’ll be driving over their future lawn for the rest of their life.

Go big or go home.

Not only did they print a large Job, they printed the largest Job possible for the wall! That’s gotta get them some credit, yeah?

A warm, professional welcome.

Remember to thank a graphic designer today. Without them, everything would look like this.

“My buddy sent me this 3 hours into his first work day at his new job.”

There’s no job failure like first-day job failure. There’s a certain innocence to it that’s just…charming.

“To everyone at work that has been eating my jellybeans…now the fun begins.”

On one hand, you’ll lose the trust of all your coworkers forever. On the other, once this is empty, you’ll never have to share another jelly bean again.

This one has layers.

People don’t really use phone booths anymore, but especially not ones where the phone is on the outside and two feet off the ground.

There goes that surprise.

This is less the delivery driver’s fault and more so the person’s who placed the order seeing as it says “delivery instructions” right there. Also, since when do party supplies come in an obvious box?

“Found in the bathroom of my local laundromat.”

What went down in this bathroom for this to even happen? Was someone that mad that one of the dryers ate their quarter?
