It'd be so satisfying to get your least-favorite coworker fired! This person knows that firsthand after pulling a crafty prank on a coworker they'd gotten really sick of.

Much like how you can't choose your family members or neighbors, you can't choose who you're going to work with at your job. You may love your boss and most of your coworkers, but there's always at least one person who just ruins everything. Sometimes it's the person who just ruins the vibe of any room they walk into. They're too judgmental or they make fun of everyone until no one wants to talk about personal stuff anymore. They might try to foist extra work onto you or whisper about you behind your back. This person's coworker snuck onto their social media, found some unsavory photos, and told the boss about them. No one likes a tattletale! What did the coworker think he was going to accomplish, getting the boss to like him more or something? It's totally pathetic, and you can check out the story below to see if he deserved the punishment he got.

Up next, read about the food service workers who made giant mistakes on the job, like one person whose big goof "Closed the restaurant for 9 days and the plumbing bill alone was $89,000."
