re: Stupid ways to get fired? Got any good stories?

Worked as a valet parker in high school. One of the older guys took a Porshe out for a joy ride (Ferris Bueller style) and dropped the tranny on the interstate about 10 miles away.

He then applied for a job at a rival valet parking company and when they asked him why he was leaving the other company he told them the story about the Porshe and how he didn't want to work at a place where stuff like that happened. He conveniently left out the fact that he was the one who did it and they hired him.
