Why should you be fired from your job?I spent three years "working" in the Ministry of Agriculture carefully crafting projectiles out of folded paper and drawing pins that I would then fire at colleagues with an elastic band. On discovering I'd been conducting all-out warfare when I should really have been in a field counting cows, I was asked to "reconsider my career options" outside the service.
Why, then, should you be fired from your job?

I have nearly killed several childrenwithout my bosses knowing at the safari park. It is a wonder I didn't get carted off in a police car, let alone get the sack.
First off was my biggest case of gross misconduct, I was working on a small little kids ride called The Magic Carpet, it had no control cabin as such, and the ride was operated from a series of buttons at the bottom of the entrance steps. Asking for disaster really, but to get round this we had an emergency stop button that locked the ride, and a key that locked that into position.
Of course one day, I forgot to press it after the ride had stopped...
So I'm letting all the kids off ready for the next batch when I hear the ride start up and an almighty scream come from one of the parents behind me waiting to get on. I turn around and see a child (a baby really, about 1ish) hanging off the side of the ride while its in the air, close to falling off into the workings below (which would be death or certain death). Fortunately maternal instinct kicked in and its mother was over like a shot to grab him, and all was ok. After half an hour of non-stop apology and "I know, its a terrible system they've got really" I managed to semi-placate the mother who didn't ask to see the management.
I also pulled the same calming techniques on a father whose son I had smacked round the head with a heavy metal gate (I left quite an impressive dent).
