This is a question 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 *was* fired....
... but then I probably deserved it for:

1. Taking 2 hour lunchbreaks.
2. Failing to deliver on customer assignments on time.
3. Taking the boss' secretary out on a date, then shagging her.
4. Being seen in the office being openly affectionate with said boss' secretary
5. Telling a technical lead to "fuck off" when he smugly showed me what was wrong with a project I was working on (I may have been justified here)
6. Despite being warned not to, sitting with my feet on the desk.
7. Goofing off for afternoons down the pub when I should've been on client site.
8. Lying on my CV to get the job in the first place.
9. Spending 20 minutes working on cables under a customers desk when I was actually staring up her skirt.
10. Bragging about the above to colleagues within the boss' earshot.

I was there for 6 months, and hated almost every minute of it. They were condescending, intolerant, and aloof. When I got fired I went ballistic and scared the MD half to shit. He paid me 3 months money and I still got to shag his secretary!

Huzzah!
