13 Ways to Get Yourself Fired
Posted by Chris on 10 April, 2008
Oh hell to the yes, it’s finally Thursday. Not only does it mean that this drag ass week is almost over, but it also means that I get a new delivery from Pioneer Organics – the friendly organic home delivery vegetable company here in Seattle and I get to go to my acupuncture appointment. I know that there’s another reason that I’m happy it’s Thursday… It’s the wonderful, special and absolutely never irreverent Thursday 13. This week we’ll take a look at 13 ways to get yourself fired from that job that you hate. Head over to the site and join in on the fun!
- Post video of your boss banging her assistant on Xtube, send the link to her significant other from your work email account.
- Park your Hummer in the boss’ parking spot, on top of his Porsche. If you miss back up and try again.
- Play the classic WASP song “Fuck Like A Beast” at maximum level during the next board meeting
- Show up to the staff meeting in your pajamas – so what if you sleep naked, the body is a beautiful thing
- Answer all incoming calls with “Fred’s Dildos – we’ve got the plug you need”
- Refuse to shake hands with anyone, instead say loudly that you’re not sure they washed their hands after using the restroom and you’d rather not risk it
- “Develop” Touret’s Syndrome. Scream out obscenities at the least appropriate moment
- Bring your screaming three year old to work with you everyday
- Mention your CEO by name on your blog and speculate that he spends his days watching porn on the big screen tv in his office, send your blog URL to the all company email distribution list
- Make photocopies of your junk and put one in each employee’s mailbox – be sure to include something identifying in the photocopy
- Litter your cube with empty beer bottles and put a half empty bottle of whiskey in your top desk drawer
- Format your computer’s hard drive – repeat daily until desired results are achieved
- Watch porn and masturbate openly at your desk

Now that’s awesome. I’m not even sure where to start, but I appreciate the guide. Off to photocopy my bits (since girls don’t have junk ‘cept in the trunk).

I’ve found an easy way to get fired is to run an Office Supply Service from your desk using the companies supplies.

Maggies Mind ~ glad I could help… mmmm junk in the trunk!
Dane ~ oooh good idea. Before I got to my company there was apparently a guy running a Russian Mail Order Bride service off the corporate backbone…
Chelle Y. said

“Crazy” may well get you canned with benefits, you know…
End every sentence with “between the sheets” (sooner or later you’ll hit a combo that’ll have you up against the idiotic sexual harassment codes).
Spend every afternoon between 2 and 4 staring at the cieling muttering about “blue flames” (some idiot will hit the fire alarm fer sure; if not, you’ll spend a LOT of time with a shrink–on the company’s dime, of course–and get disability or some such)
Whenever someone walks by your cube yell, “No you may NOT touch me there!” at the top of your voice.

David ~ canned with benefits, now there’s an idea! I love the blue flames and yelling “No you may NOT touch me there!”

I’m not sure that all of these would get you fired if you worked at the right company. And there are some companies that would fire you for just thinking these things. Great list. It had me laughing out loud.
Melanie said

Chris said
Melanie ~ thanks, but the pressure, the pressure
