Employees swap stories of the most ridiculous things they’ve seen coworkers do to get fired: 'He was arrested and fired the same day'

Aren't we all a little scared of getting fired? Unless you really hate your job (in which case... congrats?), most of us try to keep things just professional enough to avoid getting called into HR. Usually, if you do get the boot, you know you had it coming. Maybe you were on your final warning, maybe you were late more times than you'd like to admit, or maybe you coasted through a whole quarter without hitting quota even once. Either way, most firings don't exactly come out of nowhere.

But every now and then, someone gets themselves fired in a blaze of glory. Or, more accurately, a burst of pure stupidity. We're talking about employees who do something so dumb, so obviously fireable, that it makes you wonder how they got hired in the first place.

That’s what happened in this thread where people took to the internet to share the wildest things they’ve seen coworkers do that got them fired on the spot. From stealing from the office to camping on company property for six months just for fun (yes, really), these stories are a crash course in what not to do if you want to stay employed.
Some people are just walking HR violations.
