Getting a new coworker at your job is always interesting. Some people you immediately click with, others you don't, but either way, you're going to get to know them as you begin to work together. Unless you're these folks, that is.

These employees shared stories of their coworkers who got fired as fast as possible, and in some cases, before they could even get their hiring paperwork filed. That's truly impressive! And it doesn't even seem to be that uncommon.

You learn this is especially true for lower-paying jobs, like food service and retail, where people bounce between jobs all the time. For example, I once knew a guy who kept getting hired and fired at the same food establishment that we both worked at. He got fired for a bunch of reasons, such as being a no-call-no-show or getting into screaming matches with managers over when to change out food products (you know, the thing that food safety standards require. It's not like managers were doing that for fun, it was so customers wouldn't eat musty old burger patties. It was an odd hill for him to die on.)

Why did he keep getting rehired? Well, he kept hanging out in the lobby of our establishment. All day long, he'd "order food," and by that I mean that he'd pretend to order food from his GF, who was also an employee. He'd stand there talking to her while other employees did her job! He'd bug everyone and their mother for free drinks, which we gave him, and then would ask for free milkshakes and food, which we weren't allowed to give him. He was never satisfied! And if management kicked him out, he'd go to the parking lot and play music in his car so loudly that we couldn't hear the drive-thru speakers.

It was so frustrating and bewildering for everyone involved that management just kept hiring him back, because then at least he could talk to his GF while they both worked. If you can't beat them, have them join you in the kitchen, I suppose?

These folks below shared their funniest stories of coworkers who got the boot as fast as possible. Up next, this boss told her nanny to miss her sister's wedding so that she could babysit.
