'First day on the job, gave another coworker a wet-willy': 20+ stories where people got fired on day one

Getting fired on your first day is no easy feat. Like many things in life, you have to work at it. You have to be so aggressively unsuited for your position or so unbelievably unprofessional that you're leaving your managers and everyone in HR with no other choice.

Usually, people are very forgiving on the first day. Perhaps you did things differently at your old company and need some time to readjust to the standards of your organization. Perhaps you're not particularly well-versed in all the technology yet and need a little extra support. These scenarios are all understandable. Of course, there are a few big no-no's that would result in an immediate dismissal. Anything against the law comes to mind. However, you would think people would be on their best behavior on their first day and would avoid doing anything like that… at least until their second day.

Well, it turns out you would be wrong! The following people really went there on their first day at work, and let's just say it backfired majorly. Keep scrolling below for this list and when you're finished, feel free to check out this compilation of top "HR is Not Your Friend" stories!
