I want to hear your (preferably real) reasons you got fired.

    Not trying to brag here, but I’ve never been fired. I did come close though.

    At Burger King, I had a habit of forgetting to take the grate out of the oil filtration system when I cleaned out the fryers. This lead to me throwing it away on two occasions. The third time I did it they were going to fire me. Luckily one of my co-workers jumped into the trash and dug around until she found it.

    Also, the co-worker was my girlfriend of about a few months at the time. We are married now.

        No, there was a metal piece that a filter went onto (the grate). Usually the oil got filtered and put back into the fryer and topped off with some more shortening. If it was too dark, it all went into the caddy and pumped into a storage unit. What happened to it after then I don’t recall.
