Get Fired

You can easily get fired for trying to hit on your boss. It is a legitimate but funny reason to get fired.

Getting Pregnant

Forwarding Wrong Emails
Suppose you get a funny mail about how your boss can make your life hell and forward it on a quick impulse. It might easily reach your own boss who is there on your mailing list. Now that will make your boss really angry. Getting fired for forwarding the wrong emails is really bizarre.
