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?

just plain lazy
In my last job i left to go overseas, but if they knew about the dodgy things i did, surely i would have been fired.

I did have the advantage of choosing my own hours as long as they add up to 40 hours, but quite a few weeks i struggled to hit 25. I would get up late, check my emails, then waste the rest of the morning on the internets. Around 2 pm I'd think about getting dressed for work, but then Dr.Phil would be on. Around 4pm i would decide its too late to go into work anyway, and my flat mates will be home soon, and then its dinner time. This would happen at least 3 days out of 7.

Since no one ever expected to see me at work, no one was surprised when i didnt turn up, it was great!

Also, i stole a glass fridge from the office and sold it on the internet auctions, and when our microwave at home blew up I stole one of these from the office too. No one noticed....
