Today, I was working at a local restaurant when another server's table called me over to ask if I've "ever killed anybody". They informed me I looked like a serial killer. I informed them, of course, that I have never killed anybody. Another customer claimed I scared her child. I was fired. FML

Today, I was fired because a patron complained that she didn't like the way I kept staring at her kids. I was a lifeguard. FML

Today, after finally getting rid of an extremely rude, abusive customer, I muttered that I could kill people like her. I didn't know my manager had heard me, until a pair of police officers arrived. He'd reported me for "threatening to murder a customer". FML

Today, I was fired from my job because I would "scare" the customers. Two days ago, a coworker spilled fry oil onto the grill, causing flames to singe my eyebrows and the front of my hair off. FML

Today, I was fired from my job at a local family-ran restaurant. The Reason? The owner's daughter has been stealing money from the register little by little and has blamed me for all the lost money. The boss is still convinced it's me, though, because his daughter would "never tell a lie". FML

Public freakout

Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML

Today, I was fired because my boss found out I had been looking for a new job. Then, I got a call from my only job prospect, saying I was overqualified and too young to work there as a waitress. FML

Today, I was fired from my job as a waitress, all because someone complained there was too much seasoning in their food. As I said, I'm a waitress. This happened the same week I was hired. FML

Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML

Today, I arrived at the pizza place I work at to find that I'd been fired. Apparently, the class stoner came in last night and not only demanded a free pizza, but also claimed that I always gave him one. I've never talked to this kid in my life, but my boss still doesn't believe me. FML

This is just so mean that I almost can't believe it. Who calls someone over to inform them that they look like a murderer? What did they expect you to say after asking if you've killed anyone, "Why, yes ma'am, I've murdered about 14 people. I target women wearing red on a full moon. Thanks for asking!"

If real then take them to court for wrongful dismissal. Otherwise I call Shenanigans on this one.

If moms keep on babying there kids then the world is gunna b filled with a bunch of bitches. A kid could handle it, the bitch that got u fired u should find her and her kid on the street and scare them by wearing a ski mask and pull out a knife or suttin. u dont have hurt them, but make the kid a man. if only her child is a boy, if its a girl than nevermind

I agree that parents shouldn't baby their kids, but what do you mean "only if it's a boy, if it's a girl nevermind"? That's a bit sexist if you ask me.

If stories like this happen more often than not, then I am absolutely amazed at the almost backwards thinking of restaurants/customer service. The most irritating thing is that this apparent situational firing makes zero sense to me but probably made 100% perfect sense to the manager. My 1+1 is not his 1+1. Absolutely mind boggling. Good luck with your future job.

See... the woman and her daughter overheard us talking about my apparently devilish looks. She complained to the manager. Kansas is a right-to-work state, which means they can fire you for wearing cologne on your day off if they so choose.

When I think of serial killers I think of hockey masks. I assume you weren't wearing a hockey mask while busing tables, so the people who called you a serial killer are jerks. Go and beat them but only give them sustainable injuries that they will recover from, then say, I'm not going to kill you, I'm not a serial killer.
