16 People who should have been fired a long time ago

Some people are absolutely stellar at their jobs, and some people are, well, not. The people on this list aren’t really going above and beyond to impress their bosses. In fact, they might be doing the opposite.

Keep reading to see some people who are really phoning it in at work. We think everyone featured on this list should have been fired a long time ago. Honestly, we don’t know how they still have their jobs.

What Bike Lane?

This guy had one job: to mark a bike lane. I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s a bike lane that’s safe for anybody.

Maybe this guy just really hates cyclists.

Who Installed This Countertop?

This person was hired to install a kitchen sink and a countertop and they didn’t do a very good job.

Why are there so many weird angles going on here?

Time To Get Electrocuted

This person installed a sprinkler system that directly faces and sprays water at an electrical box.

Someone really didn’t think this through. It’s like they’re just asking for an electrocution lawsuit.

What Yellow Line?

The writing on the ground says to stand behind the yellow line, but I don’t see a yellow line anywhere. Do you?

Maybe the person who painted this was colorblind.

Ice Cream And A Cone

This person ordered a cone with their ice cream at a fancy restaurant, and instead of putting the ice cream in the cone, they did this.

This is not an ice cream cone. This is ice cream and a cone.

Do Not Bend

This envelope has very clear instructions written right on it. It says “do not bend.” So what did this mail carrier do? He bent it.

I think he should be fired immediately.

Trying To Catch A Pigeon

This grocery store employee accidentally let a pigeon into the store, so now he’s trying to trap it.

I don’t think that makeshift box pigeon trap is going to work.

A Straight Drop

Whoever made this wheelchair ramp should never, ever make another wheelchair ramp ever again.

Honestly, attempting the stairs in a wheelchair would be safer than going down this death trap.

Were They Drunk?

Did these workers show up to the job site completely drunk? Or do they just paint lines like this all the time?

This couldn’t be further away from a straight line unless it were a circle.

Put It In The Middle

This photo is so frustrating to look at. Why can’t the light just go in the middle of the medallion?

Someone messed up big time when they were installing light fixtures in this room.

That’s Not Beans

Either someone at the bean factory or someone at the tomato factory has a lot of explaining to do.

I’m not sure how this happened, but I would hate to open a can expecting beans only to find tomatoes inside.

He Painted Himself Into A Corner

This guy did a great job painting the roof, but then he realized that he had literally painted himself into a corner.

Now he can’t move until the paint is dry.

Out The Back

Someone didn’t strap in this coffin properly, so when the hearse came to a sudden stop, the coffin flew out the back windshield.

Yeah, someone is probably getting fired soon.

Nice Job Welding

I don’t know where this person learned how to weld, but it couldn’t have been anywhere good. They didn’t even weld the joint.

They just welded next to the joint.

A Fire Extxtinguixher

I don’t know what planet this person is from, but here on Earth, that is not how we spell fire extinguisher.

I don’t know how it’s even possible to mess up this badly.

Which Bathroom Is Which?

How is anybody supposed to know which bathroom to use with signs like these?

I bet there are a lot of cases of people walking into the wrong bathroom accidentally.
