This dude had the worst first day at work ever, as his manager can tell you. I mean, you have to be a memorably bad worker to get the boot after a single eight-hour shift.

Poor u/LazerMoonCentaur was a manager at a cafe, and one day, they got stuck with the least competent employee ever. They write that this dude made a bad first impression by showing up to a shift at a cafe a whole 90 minutes after his shift started. I'd think at many places, being that late on your first day would be enough to let someone go. But this person kindly let the new employee work despite his tardiness. That was a big mistake, as you can check out in the story below. This guy couldn't do a single thing right!

Some commenters speculated that this new employee was acting out on purpose, and that he was trying to lose the job on the first day. If that's so, he's not just dumb, he's totally uncaring about other people! The cafe's customers deserve better than Kevin's zero-effort work ethic.

Next up, these people shared stories of the most tech-illiterate people they know like the person who had to show someone "multiple times how to open Excel."
