‘Guy told me he couldn’t really move fast because his motorcycle boots were too heavy’: 20+ Employees who got fired for surprisingly funny reasons

Have you ever had one of those friends who will tell you the wildest story you’ve ever heard, and then expect you to take their side even though they’re clearly wrong? A lot of these people are just like that, displaying the most unhinged behaviors at work, and then expecting their bosses and coworkers to side with them. I know those HR PowerPoint sessions about what to do and not do in the workplace can be a snooze fest, but it helps to pay attention just a little bit! That said, there’s no amount of HR training that can make a person do the dumbest things in the workplace, like the dudes who decided to pull a high-speed car trick on work property. Did they think the boss was going to come outside and applaud as they zoomed around doing a hilariously unsafe trick? Sometimes you just don’t think things through, as the people replying to u/7oh3’s question can share.
