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?

my first ever claimbefore i was a real lawyer (and still had a life) was against the dry cleaners opposite the estate agency where my friend and i worked.
one day my boss asked me to go and fetch his brand new trousers from the dry cleaners. he had all his clothes hand made on savile row (ha, he stopped doing that when the last lot of shirts came in at #2,500. apparently it is very not the done thing to ask the price beforehand. he shopped at m & s after that) and had broken the zip on his new dinner suit.
we had lost the ticket, and i was in the cleaners for ages. eventually they conceded they couldn't find it. many cross letters later and i sued them for my boss. on the day before the hearing they gave in and paid the lot.
only after the cheque had cleared did my colleague and friend say to me:
her: er, rswipe. you know those trousers?
me: yup. careless bastards! anyway, the boss is buying me lunch today as a thanks.
her: yeah. see, i. um. kind of my fault.
me: what. did. you. do?
her: i forgot that he told me to take them to the dry cleaners. i took them... to the charity shop... and when i went back, they'd sold.
oops!
