king foot lettuce if you’re gonna post something to the internet that could get you into a lot of trouble at least don’t post it to a site whose users are the masters of investigation an anonymous 4chan user posted a picture of himself standing in his shoes in two containers of lettuce he identified himself as a burger king employee and said this is the lettuce you eat at burger king as much as 4chan users love a good prank they definitely didn’t appreciate it when it involved food served to customers the photo didn’t reveal the user’s identity or even store location but that didn’t stop the restaurant from being quickly identified they used the photo’s exif data to work out that the photo was taken at a mayfield heights burger king in ohio some users then contacted local news outlets and the burger king franchise’s manager the manager apparently said oh i know that is he’s getting fired and so he was since then the entire lettuce saga has been known as burger king foot lettuce and it

two domino’s employees were fired after doing these very things and much more it doesn’t get much grosser than that in 2009 two individuals working at a north carolina domino store were facing felony charges after video footage was discovered of them carrying out some pretty horrific acts on pizza they passed gas on salami sneezed and blew their noses on the food they handled and even stuffed cheese up their nostrils which they later use on customers meals were held on 7 500 bail and were of course fired from their jobs but domino’s didn’t just fire them they filed a criminal complaint against them domino’s went on to apologize for the pair’s actions they said the video footage went against the hard work of the 125 000 domino’s employees worldwide they didn’t just stop there either domino’s had plans to file a civil lawsuit so it just went from bad to worse for the ex-employees number 13 jetblue flight attendant gets arrested have you ever heard the saying the straw that broke the camel’s back that was pretty much what led to steven slater a career flight attendant pulling the middle finger to his job in the most dramatic fashion ever stephen who worked for jetblue was preparing for a flight from pittsburgh international airport to john f kennedy international airport back in 2010. when a passenger hit him in the head with their luggage and refused to apologize a switch flipped in steven’s head he used the speaker to tell the passenger off took two beers from the galley then activated the emergency exit chute to disembark the plane he probably knew full well he was also disembarking from his career the internet was in love with steven from that point on saying his dramatic workplace exit was what everyone wanted to do at some point but was too scared to however reality hit once he was on the ground he was arrested and charged with a felony and entered a guilty plea in the queen’s mental health court fortunately steven avoided jail time but had to undergo a year of substance abuse treatment and counseling number 12 coin flip arrests imagine being arrested and knowing a coin tossing app was to blame for it in 2018 two roswell police officers lost their jobs after using a coin flip app to decide whether to arrest or release members of the public the two police officers had been placed on administrative leave initially but were fired weeks later it all came to a head when they responded to a reckless driving call they pulled over a woman in a mercury sable who explained she had been running late for work one of the officers tells her off for speeding on a wet road which endangered other people’s lives when they noticed their radar gun wasn’t working to check her license they call for backup off-camera the other officer can be heard using the coin toss app saying a for heads and r for tails with a referring to arrest and r for release it landed on release but the driver was still arrested the video surfaced online and the controversy kicked off the roswell mayor lori henry said their behavior was unprofessional and inexcusable number 11. daycare worker mock’s children when you send your children off to daycare kindergarten and even school you expect them to be cared for as you care for them yourself what you don’t expect is for their teachers and carers to post pictures of them on social media mocking them for their appearance or lack of speech in 2013 a daycare worker and manager in virginia were fired after a worker posted photos of children in their care to their instagram page one of the images shows a dejected looking two-year-old in a high chair the manager then commented he’s thinking because short can’t talk referring to his speech development delay another child’s photo was uploaded and compared to mater from the film cars due to his protruding front teeth when one of the parents of those children saw the images they were furious she said if you don’t love and care for children and it’s not your passion you should not be involved in caring for them she also said that’s how bullying starts and how children become bullies after the worker and manager were fired the virginia department of social services began investigating number 10 cop steals from goodwill cameras are everywhere these days so even if you think you’ve gotten away with something a little shady chances are you haven’t a florida police officer learned that the hard way in 2012 when a security camera snapped him stealing clothing donated to a goodwill store the video showed him placing some of those items in the back of his police cruiser he reverses up to the goodwill door at just after 10 pm checks out the items in the bags opens the back door to his police cruiser sifts through the things again then puts a few things in his car the police officer from deland florida was identified after a loss prevention manager contacted the police department noting the police car pd-65 the police officer whose card was said he wasn’t aware the store had surveillance and video security systems an investigation into the matter also revealed he had stolen at least twice before he claimed an employee of the store had given him permission but that employee had been dead for at least three years the police officer in question decided to retire before the investigation came to a head the recommendation would have been for him to be fired number nine pizza delivery driver pees on customers door tipping isn’t mandatory in the united states but it is recommended after all many hospitality industry employees have a very low hourly wage and try to make up that shortfall with tips by providing great service one pizza delivery driver was clearly not impressed with the lack of a tip but instead of driving away after delivering a pizza and venting to his friends he did something different the delivery driver for pizza hut from des moines iowa chose to urinate on his door instead the woman who ordered the pizza knew she didn’t have cash for a tip once again it’s not a legal requirement so she did nothing wrong later she noticed yellow liquid at her door and checked out the apartment building’s security footage it showed her pizza delivery guy urinating against her entrance he was fired for his actions but he apologized and returned to clean the door people were in two minds about the situation some said that she should have picked up her pizza if she didn’t have the cash to tip him but the woman said that if things like that upset you maybe you shouldn’t be a pizza delivery driver in any case probably not the best way to take out your frustrations number eight delivery driver destroys halloween if kovid 19 has taught us anything it’s that our delivery drivers have one of the hardest jobs they have to meet deadlines and deal with people who expect their parcels almost immediately some drivers caved under the pressure even before the pandemic hit a delivery driver was caught on camera having an absolute meltdown on his delivery run back in october 2019. he pulls up to a home carries packages to the property’s entry then trips over a pumpkin that had formed part of a halloween display what happens next is both concerning and spooky he starts destroying the entire halloween display just when you think he’s calmed down enough to leave his pent-up anchor boils to the surface again and he destroys even more of the display the whole ordeal goes down for around 5 minutes in 80 degree heat he paces the property owner’s deck during this time knocking things over and kicking in pumpkins left right and center he then returns to his truck grabs some cash holds it up to the camera and slips it under their door to pay for the damage before driving away number seven kfc workers fired for bikini bathing in sync when will people learn doing shady stuff and posting it on social media will never lead to anything good three young kfc workers learned that the hard way when they posted photos to myspace in 2008 of them using a kfc restaurant’s dishwasher as a hot tub the three girls who had been working without a manager ended their night by filling up the sink in the anderson california store and stripping down to their bikinis they then got into the sink and took selfies before putting them on the internet for the world to see the caption posted with the photos said haha kfc showers a kfc manager for the store said the girls were being reprimanded and she had learned about the images while managing the dinner rush she didn’t give their names but said she was in shock when she saw them the girls were subsequently fired and the manager said nothing like that had ever happened before as there was no manager on site when the hot tub party happened it appears the girls closed up the store after a night of service and decided to relax and unwind in the strangest way possible number six ryanair fires cabin crew for fake photo a flight crew on a ryanair 737 got more than they bargained for when footage of them sleeping on the floor of a crew room hit the internet storms meant that eight pilots and 16 cabin crew were stranded in malaga spain for two nights as it was a holiday period no accommodation could be found a photo of the crew sleeping on a cold windowless room floor hit the internet with a caption saying that roir is earning 1.25 billion pounds annually but won’t put stranded crews in a hotel for the night how the photo actually came about was a bit different but ryanair still came out as the bad guy in reality the photo was staged and the crew wasn’t made to sleep in there however the crew room didn’t have enough chairs for everyone and they actually spent over four hours in that small room before being moved to a vip lounge ryanair claimed they were only there for a short while which wasn’t the case even though pretending to sleep on the floor wasn’t the best stunt it was how ryanair reacted to it that put most people on team flight crew rather than team ryanair they proceeded to fire them for gross misconduct publicly number five teacher fired for getting dating advice it’s all well and good to receive dating advice from your friends and family members but what about your students yeah that’s less appropriate no matter which way you look at it a new york substitute teacher lost her job after asking for dating advice from her 4th grade students but she didn’t just stop at what would you do in this situation no she had the students reenacting scenarios and even asked the kids to toilet paper the guy’s home she said she kept things g-rated but it’s a strange situation nonetheless according to the teacher the kids were excited to be your counselor and were trying to help her because the guy she was seeing was being a jerk tour there were thought to be only four students in the classroom with the teacher as the rest were on a field trip the children left behind are usually those who have misbehaved or forgotten their permission slip even if nothing sinister went on during the interaction it’s hard to imagine any situation where receiving dating advice from fourth graders is okay and given their lack of experience in the dating world they wouldn’t be able to offer anything valuable anyway number four gold miners fired for dancing most internet savvy people will be familiar with the harlem shake by new york dj bauer thousands of videos have been uploaded to youtube of people making the dance moves which involves one person bopping along casually while everyone else ignores them once the baseline drops everyone begins dancing and going crazy it’s a bit of fun and everyone from families to workplace employees has been getting involved except not every employer looked upon the video revolution kindly over a dozen gold miners were fired from the agnew gold mine in western australia after footage of them taking part hit the internet the miners many of whom were topless did the harlem shake in an underground mine it was viewed thousands of times and the worker said it was a bit of fun that bit of fun cost them their jobs as the mine owner barminko said they breached their core values of safety integrity and excellence immediately after a facebook page was set up to defend the miners some people were in favor of the mine stating that an underground mine is no place for such behavior number three oklahoma teacher fired for snack run an oklahoma middle school teacher landed herself in hot water after making a snack run to a local walmart a quarter of a mile away from her school with 11 children piled into her car the teacher had worked at r.j wells middle school in oklahoma for 10 years and wanted to reward her children with goldfish crackers instead of planning ahead and bringing them to the classroom the kids formed a human pyramid in her honda accord with two 12 year old girls making the short trip in the trunk of her car within just a few days she was suspended and then dismissed after a 4-1 board vote school officials said her actions were dangerous and she also didn’t have permission from the children’s parents to take them off campus the teacher said it was a terrible mistake and that she didn’t want to hurt anyone she said she just wanted to do something nice but perhaps the fact that it took her five minutes to get all the kids in the car should have been a red flag that she was doing something risky the whole thing was caught on the school’s surveillance system number two rookie anchor’s nerves get the better of him starting any new job can be nerve-racking but probably even more so if you’re a news anchor and have to go live on camera in front of tens of thousands of people that proved too much for aj clement to handle on his first day at kfyr tv in north dakota the anchor didn’t realize his microphone was live and swore seconds before another anchor introduced him as the newest station news team member the rookie anchor was obviously a bundle of nerves because he then introduced himself by saying used to um you know from being from the east coast a little bit about yourself aj um thanks man i’m very excited i graduated from west virginia university and i’m used to um needless to say that was his first and last day on the job he tweeted afterward saying it couldn’t have gone any worse tv news director monica henan noted on their facebook page that their reporters are always taught to assume the cameras are running she said that was obviously not the case with this anchor and that they can’t take back what was said it went from bad to worse for the anchor not only was he suspended but he was later fired number one public tweet for drugs it was almost like sunith bahirathana wanted to be fired when he hit twitter looking for a dealer to deliver drugs to his workplace the public tweet put out the call for any dealers in vahan to come to kyo lang staff mr lube after several days the man realized it probably wasn’t the brightest idea to put out a public tweet with his request he was retweeted by the york regional police who said awesome can we come too the mechanic then ended up losing his job but not before his tweet was retweeted several thousand times his employer mr lube tweeted to say thank you to the york regional police for your help and great work the matter has now been handled after getting fired sunith tweeted again saying never new weed smokers are more wanted in society than shooters and rapists big smh shake my head to all y’all all
