This is a question Sacked

I've never been sacked (yet)... One company I worked for made everyone redundant on Valentine's Day. The boss handed out little envelopes. We all thought he'd bought us cards and were really touched.

...but I've never been sacked. What have you done that led to your dismissal? Are you still bitter, or was it a fair cop?

There are a few, all part-time work though
1: When I was 15, I was fired from my paper round after 2 year hard graft for being late, as the big important workers from the City didn't get their financial times before they left to go sweat on a train.

2: 2 weeks after No1 I was working in a bike shop, replacing inner tubes etc, nothing spectacular, also cheap parts. Fired for being too good, I had so little work, I read the the fatherland in 3 shifts.

3: The same paper shop that fired me from my round offered me a job working in the shop when I was 16, so I promptly took and loaded up on free ciggies, sweets and magazines until I was caught (and quite rightly) fired on the spot.

4: Working as a waiter when I was 16, first 'real' part-time job as in paid into my bank account, I had a ponytail that I refused to cut off so at the end of my probationary period I was 'released'

5: Milton Ernest Garden Centre, fucking brilliant job, worked with all my friends and just generally enjoyed it, except one thing, The Owner.
She didn't like my mum and they had had a falling out at the local garden club about a month after I started. My following shift I was banned from handling any money at all, this was actually good, I got to do the fun stuff outside, until one day where we were all called into the office, someone had be stealing from the tills, (turned out it was my supervisor but that is by the by), and I was, despite not working a till in 6 months, was the prime suspect, and I was given a written warning. The following 2 weekend I was on holiday with my friends, and when we went back to work we found out that our jobs were 'up for review' and 4 of us were fired. The jobs were then given to 16 year olds that would work for less money.
