I once had a "friend" (I hated his guts) who lost two jobs on the same day - he drunkenly crashed the taxi he was driving when he was supposed to be at his office job. How have you been sacked?

Working as an audio/visual tech guy at a teaching hospital I was one day partnered with one of the other guys and was working on a lectern in a lecture theatre. My screwdriver slipped and I managed to stab myself in the other hand eliciting a
"Jesus Christ!!!"
Turns out the other guy was an evangelical Christian. He toddled off to the boss and complained about me taking the Lord's name in vain and offending his religious sensibilities. The boss hauls me in and tells me to apologise. I ask what for.
"For offending his religious sensibilities"
"Oh, tell him to grow up. I stabbed myself, I could have said many, many things more offensive than Jesus Christ"
"Granted. Still we have to be careful not to offend our co-workers' religious sensibilities"
I take a long slow look at the boss's Black Sabbath T-shirt and pentagram pendant, point to them and say
"What, you mean like you do?"
Sacked.
Moral of the story: so long as you're the boss it's okay to piss off the Christians who work for you.

They get upset if you start discussing evolution or science.

I knew he was christian so I wasn't sure whether he was serious or not -- he must have seen my slightly quizzical look and said "No, really, I do."(It definitely wasn't dead-pan as his eyes glazed over with zeal and I know the difference between dead-pan and brainwashing). He was a nice guy though so I didn't feel like upsetting him.
The satanist I worked with was a lot more fun -- on one occasion he beat me with a great shot at pool so I said "Jesus Christ!" he asked me what he had to do with anything and I explained "He was a cunt too.". How we laughed...

God: "AH MY FOLLOWERS. SEE ALL THIS STUFF THAT'S FUN?"
Muppets: "Yes Lord?"
God: "YOU AIN'T ALLOWERD TO DO ANY OF IT!"
Muppets: "Thank You Lord. Amen.....muttercuntmutter
God: "I HEARD THAT"
God to himself: "Life's good when you're King".

In which case he wasn't sacked for 'upsetting a christian' it was being persistently awful at work.

Presumably because he fingers kids.

says more about your needy obsessions than it does about his wish not to interact with you.

Given that I can recall no interaction whatsoever with this user I can only conclude that he fingers kids.

You couldn't stand the fact that someone *might* say something about you with out your knowledge so you had to logout to read Nitrous's posts. Then, because you're a shit-stirrer you had to log back in to make a post. And because you're a troll you had to make a post that *if* Nitrous read it would be sure to elicit a response. Did I miss anything?
At best you're a vain, shit-stirring troll. At worst - you're so obsessed with this site and how you are perceived on it you'll try to redirect your obsession by making a list of links from this site that [you think] make other people look bad. Oh.
Wait...

That you log out to find out what you're missing? I think if the system is shit enough to flag that up, it's inevitable.
Plus if anyone has me on ignore, it's obviously because they're a prick. After all, I'm fucking wonderful.

I recommend a nice glass of refreshing whole milk, and a delicious chococcino muffin, both available from Marks and Spencer.

Ignore 2.0 is broken. I even offered to fix it a year or more ago but the fingers were too deep in the dogs

Well done you.
Like anyone here would trust you to "fix" something here. You keep wishing for that mod spot.

A company can ring your agency up and tell them to send someone else and you can be out the door as soon as.
Edit: btw the boss tried to claim his was a Wiccan pendant. Didn't really jibe with his T-shirt, or the look in his eye that said that this was his passive agressive way of dealing with the Christian employee he also didn't like.

but just because there are procedures doesn't mean that people follow them. luckily for lawyers.
