Office Pranks, Office Humor, and Office Stories - One Crazy Office

A lot of people get fired for stupid reasons. The security business is no different. If anything I think you can get fired for more stuff if you work security. Of course the sure fire ways to get fired in the field of security is to be caught sleeping at your post or just not showing up for work.

Well at the site I work out we have a tradition of being fired in more creative ways than one person can think of. I am sure everyone has either been fired for something crazy or knows someone who got fired for something crazy.

Some of the most popular in recent memory are the ones that follow.

This one guy got fired because he wouldn't do his rounds on site. Instead he was using the work computer to write stories and books. Now I don't think anyone had a problem with it until someone complained. And of course he was told numerous times, but he didn't listen. His writing a book was more important than is job. The funny thing about it was that after he was fired he asked if he could come back on-site because all his stories were on the computer and he needed to get them. The supervisor ended up deleting them.

This one has actually happened a few times and I am usually the one who had to deal with it. Some of these guys apparently didn't think they needed to shower. They would stink to high heaven and when the boss would ask if it was part of his religion they would always reply no. They just stunk. We had one guy that was so bad that I had to hold me breath when I first got there. He would walk out and I would run away and find some air freshener. But sometimes it wouldn't matter and that funk would hang around for hours. It was funny to see the employees reactions though.

We had one guy get fired because he got another job within the office with a temp agency and instead of keeping his mouth shut and starting his new job he started to try and talk all the other guards in leaving with him. When this was heard he got fired and was not hired by the temp agency either.

I had a supervisor get fired because he accused of one guy being drunk when in fact it was mouth wash that he was smelling. They guy went right to HR and the next thing I know, I have a new supervisor. But that was karma because he was underhanded to everyone. He was one of those guys who would smile to your face and as soon as you turn around you would be able to feel that knife in your back.

Recently we had this one guard who hadn't been out there for more than two weeks get involved with some drama that had nothing to do with him. What ended up getting him the ax is that he actually went up to the employee and started calling that person a Liar in front of a bunch of people. Since employees are golden and we are nothing that person was gone the next day.

We have had a guy that has been moved post to post until he creeped out enough people that they had to move him off-site. Apparently he was staring at people as they walked in and made them all feel uncomfortable. The dude was really weird though.

And one of my personal favorites. Something that I like to call The Joke. It was about 4 in the morning and a employee walks in to work out or something. And the guard their was weird to say the least, but anyways he was staring at her as she walked in and apparently had done it one more than once occasion. But this time he spoke to her and asked her this question... What do you call someone who has sex with their bike???.....A peddle File. And with that he was gone by the end of the day.

If I remember anymore I will add them. We have had ALOT of people get fired for sleeping on-site and always showing up late, or not showing up some days.
