20+ Employees share coworkers they saw get fired on their first day: 'Drove a skid into the side of the house we were working on'

Throughout the course of your working life, you'll undoubtedly meet some interesting folk; having wacky coworkers is just part of the whole deal—heck, you might even be one of them. Some of these souls might work with you for ages; they might have already been a part of the furniture when you started, but some of them will shine so bright that they don't last a fortnight, and some still won't even make it through their first day.

Surely, in order to get fired on your first day, you'd have to do something truly tragically bad; it's not something that happens every day. My own contribution to this subject is that I know someone who was fired from their first job at a diner back in the day when they accidentally dumped a milkshake and its tin on a seated customer.

Readers of this online community gathered to share the legends that they witnessed coming to be with their own eyes, stories that would surely be told for an age afterward. Told to newcomers as both a warning and an initiation to the workplace.
