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

Talk to his supervisor and explain the situation

Lack of self control much? Maybe some anger management classes will help

Did you, by chance, have a copy of Battle Toads?

OP was totally right... it is so annoying when you're trying to do your job correctly and help actual customers and instead get immature people, OP wasn't hired for that.

I saw this on 4chan a while ago. It's a small world. But I'm guessing you dont have Battletoads then?

Ooo big deal he slammed the phone down!!! Someone call the butthurt police!
