Today, I was prank called yet again by someone asking for a game that was released over 10 years ago. The store I work at only sells modern titles, and I angrily slammed the phone down. My boss saw and fired me on the spot. FML

Hi everyone, OP here. The game they were asking for, was, yes, Battletoads. Just another prank call. Many of you assume that the guy on the other end could have called me legitimately asking for the game, but really, it was the same person each and every time. They were just trying to be a jerk. Hell, you could hear their friends laughing in the background of the call. Yes, I understand that it isn't right to behave like this in the workplace, but I was a bit stressed out (girlfriend breaking up with me, etc.) and I didn't really feel great that day. After some explaining to the boss about the whole Battletoads prank call phenomenon, I was rehired and just took a 3 day suspension. I promise you all that I will not behave in such a way ever again, and thank you all for your wonderful comments.

Well, you do need to have self-control in the workplace, but that shouldn't be a firing offense

You got angry because someone called your game store looking to buy a game? Perhaps it's time for some anger management classes.

"looking to buy a game"? No. They were a prankster. It was the same number every time. The other times they called I had explained to them that we do not carry the game, and I recommended other retailers in my area as well as good online sites such as amazon or Lukie Games. They were just being an asshole.

Well maybe you should play along instead of slamming a phone down. It's probably one of your friends.

No mattered how frustrated you are you're supposed to behave professionally at work. Now, firing was a bit harsh but you did deserve some form of punishment for acting so aggressively.

The original Battletoads was released in 1991. It's 2013. Know your shit before you be an asshole.

Exactly, its way older than 10 years old. If someone says they were asked about a 10 year old game and your first thought is Battletoads you're a god damn idiot. Thanks for proving my point.

Oh, and OP is retarded for referring to Battletoads as a 10 year old game. Who the **** refers to NES games as 10 year old games? Imagine some moron looking for SMB1 and describing it as a 10 year old game. OP is on that level of stupid.

He said "over 10 years ago". Not "10 years".
